I played with a PS4 controller hooked to my PC, but I also tried playing with mouse and keyboard controls. It all contributes to a feeling of meaningful progress. The mounting list of permanent upgrades, temporary bonuses and increasing skill comes together really well. The characters play differently and each is fun.

Skills are permanent and some even grant the entire family a bonus, encouraging you to hop around, try different characters and see what advantages they can earn the family. Defeating enemies gains you enough experience for skill points. With each run you get a different collection of bonuses, so by the time you get to the boss, you will have a largely different tool set than you had in a previous attempt.Īlthough these bonuses are lost at the end of each run, your character can get permanent upgrades. If you fail, you lose the temporary bonuses you’ve gained but you keep all the money you’ve earned and your chosen character keeps all their skill points and experience.Īs you progress through a level, you gain items, bonuses and abilities, all of which remain until you either complete or fail the level.

Even if you don’t finish the level, you should feel like you’ve somehow progressed in every run. Roguelikes are run-based, meaning you make an attempt at the level and see how far you get. The levels are arranged differently each time you make an attempt – the maps are laid out differently, as are enemy placements.

Roguelikes vary but commonly have procedurally-generated levels. It’s a roguelike game – a sub-genre of role-playing video games that borrows mostly from the 1980 game Rogue. You delve through caves and cities, seeking powerful spirits to help you discover what’s gone wrong. The god Rea is gone, Corruption is seeping into the world and it’s up to the Bergsons to find out why and stop it.
