Don't purchase this yet unless you want to go along for the ride. I bought this game fully aware that i'm basically paying to be a beta tester and i'm comfortable with that. I am giving this recommendation with the knowledge that you've seen the "mixed" review score and are scrolling through the reviews to see whats up.

The games initial launch state was a bit lumpy, but I've been following the patch notes and they seem to be actively listening and incorporating player feedback. I think the level of completeness not being stated obviously from the beginning has led to a lot of the negative reviews, but i stepped into this game loving the original and aware of the rough edges of this release.

The core gameplay loop is a lot of fun, all the upgrade systems and currencies are a bit much, but it just gets me excited for when i can get to them, but i understand how someone else might look at them and be confused about how to obtain them when they don't even know the objective in the early game. The variety of weapons and upgrades both temporary and permanent is a nice mix. It's a cool idea to have perks found during the run carry over to the next with a set amount of times you can bring them back in. Takes a bit of the edge off of praying to RNGesus for a good run.

I like the core ideas, and have high hopes for the game.
