The bare bones of a good game is there, if you've enjoyed games like Curious Expedition 1&2 then this will most likely scratch your itch as well. Feels a bit overtuned in the first runs before starting to get some upgrades, but that's pretty par for the course for a roguelite.

Very noticeably in early access, there have been a number of bugs and missing text strings in just a couple of hours play. Also has a very noticeable memory leak issue, if the game starts feeling sluggish, restarting the game will probably help you.

Good to tide you over after reading every translated cultivation comic in existence and waiting for more chapters. It's either this or start learning chinese.

Now that I have finished this game, can I recommend it?

Yes, but with reservations.

You play through the game in increments where you go down into the cave, kill a bunch of monsters, get a bunch of loot, and then exit the game through the usage of an item which you always find. If you die, you lose all progress since you last exited the cave, if you leave, you only keep special, golden items. If you have played through the ancient cave in Lufia 2, this is exactly that.

This game is incredibly easy, and has little in the way of customizing your character in way of skills or items. As you start to get towards the end of the game, it turns into a bit of a grindfest, making sure you have enough gear and consumables to beat the end boss.

The game is also pretty short, it would probably have taken about 3-4 hours if I hadn't died on a mini-boss after a couple of hours of play without exiting the cave.

The replayability is limited in that there is a New Game+ option, allowing you to go back to the start of the game with harder enemies, but keeping all your character progression from your previous game.

The problem is that after the grind at the end of the game, I'm not really interested in playing through it again as a New Game+.

Summary
If you like, or are interested in trying a roguelike, by all means, pick up this game. You're not missing anything by waiting until it goes on a heavily discounted sale though.
