    This might be my favourite game this year

    Oh my god, is this game amazing. As a huuuuuuge fan of Binding of Isaac (~200 hours spent) I was desperatly looking for a "Isaac-like" experience but neither FTL nor Spelunky or Rogue Legacy grabbed me the way Isaac did (not that they were bad games, just not what I was looking for) but this game....man

    I just wanted to test it and ended up playing about 90 minutes in a single game. At time I was utterly convinced that this game is going to crash my PC since the framerate tanked (I'm running BF4 at high settings btw) becauseI got the ability to create a ghost for every enemy that is on screen and I also had an item that turned every killed enemy into a ghost. So at times there were 20-30 enemies on screen and you cannot imagine the chaos. Blood, XP, gold, ghosts, drones, fire, lightning, rockets, mortars...everything was happening. At once. Near the end my game looked like this (including my 9 drone buddies even though not all of them are visible in the screen (I got some more items later but forgot to take another screenshot)

    So yeah, this game is pretty amazing. If you like Rogue-lite-likes or whatever you want to call it, this one if just a-mazing.

    It looks brilliant and I wish it was available on another platform!
