Hey baby I think we Havel lot in common

Is anyone playing this? It's on sale today on Steam and I apparently wishlisted it

Buy it; it's really fun. You just need to come to grips with the lack of healing, permadeath, extremely limited respawns, and roguelite bits.

Pros:

- classes all play really differently and are all useful; characters are "expendable" in the Darkest Dungeon sense
- game is not too easy
- figuring out the game mechanics is actually rewarding
- maps don't take 2 hours to play and yet require some finesse
- music is very good and adds to the atmosphere
- initiative and timeline based turns are something that I wish a lot more games would do
- combat is satisfying and the enemies get MUCH more deadly as the game progresses
- good value for price proposition

Cons:

- limited map and mission variety
- some of the voice work is either annoyingly repetitive or lines talk over one another. Small studio problem, I guess; but game runs and plays well so who really cares that much.
- bosses can be cheesed (sucks because until you figure out the cheese, you will die and then it's game over. . . it's not really a skill check; more of a cheese check)

Meh:

- Art style is as if someone just got done playing Dishonored void levels, Hatred, and added in voiceless waifus to make a game. It's OK I guess, but it's honestly hard to make out some UI things regarding movement, timeline, and other cues.
- some missions are just bad and you will avoid them on purpose once you figure out which ones they are. This is only a few missions and not every mission can be a hit, so no big deal.

I recommend giving it a shot.
