Anyone tried this?

It looked like mobile port trash but I took a gamble and I must say it's fairly interesting so far.

A 2d roguelike with good difficulty, relatively simple, but satisfying mechanics. at a decent price point.

Thanks for the feedback, I may give it a try sooner or later.
I played Ultra Hat Dimension, a decent block-pushing puzzle game made by the same dev and thought I would play this one when it would be further in developpement because the monster possession mechanism looked cool.

I'm playing it right now, will post thoughts later. If there are really only 19 forms as roguebasin says, then it's a game for an hour, maybe two.
(I've killed 5 rats and mastered the flaming sword form)

I love the aesthetic.. shame it's a roguelike though, never could stomach those.

Erm, apparently, you can restart the game with any item your previous character had. Seems a bit...cheaty?

Oh god, I shouldn't have drank that 'CGA' potion. Don't open the spoiler unless you're wearing welding goggles.

It is a good game and Roguelike.

The main point to the Death Cards, outside of an optional helping hand to new folks and run seeding/social potential, is pursuit of crazed gimmick builds on replays as some of the equipment does some pretty crazy things----so all of that combined with the Custom Game options and updates to come outright stacks up pretty well.
