so i grabbed RL during the summer sale, with no expectations at all. had never heard of it, but reviews on Steam looked good.

played around a little jsut after purchase and seemed fun. but i was playing a bit more yesterday and am staggered by the depth and complexity and nuance of this game! it seems to have found a superb balance between the insane difficulty of a true "Rogue-Like", while still maintaining a healthy sense of progression. you always feel like you can make your way forward, even if the run just got you enough gold to buy a small new upgrade. the fact that upgrades persist is a gameplay decision that really makes this game a winner in my books.

i cannot wait for 29th July when its due for release on Vita, as it should be magnificent on that platform. but still, try it out on PC right now and you wont be disappointed
