So far, I'm digging this game. Tried Caines and Kitana, and must say I like the diversity between the characters. Graphics are good, the action is highly intense at times, and the powerups keep you engaged on what's best to level up your character's skills. My only grip is how some of their skills work and the conditions to activate them, for example Caine's Bullet Time is hard to activate when you really want/need it. Also, Kitana's charged shot can be touchy and miss at times when you release it even when manually targetting the opponent. A little more control over certain abilities would be nice.

Graphics look very good coming from a solo dev, class varieties are quite intriguing to tempt players for another run. Those are the good qualities. Biggest put-off though is the bosses always have a one-shot skill even from the 1st boss. This difficulty spike is surprising not in a cool or amusing way. For that, yes I have to deduct 2⭐ from what could be 4 or even 5⭐. The roguelike element is on point though. I had 3 runs so far; the 2nd one I managed to reach I think boss#3 while not knowing what I was building! 🙄 The tutorial could be designed better; rn it's too much text & players are a lazy bunch. I'll have more to say after I play more runs, might even up the ⭐ rating.
