What players say

Players are split on this early access sequel. Many appreciate the improved visuals, music, and build variety, but a vocal group of longtime fans say the developers have over-tuned enemies and bosses, creating a frustrating experience that stifles creative deckbuilding. Bugs and controller support issues are also common complaints, though cooperative multiplayer is a highlight.
