The risk of rain is surprisingly low.

Neato.

I love this game, and it had great potential.
But the dev's left it to rot.

Maybe someday.

This game was garbage until I modded it into an open world Dark Souls.

Without mods- 4/10

Would Mod again.

Havel hit me so hard it crashed my game.

10/10 IGN

Pros:
Fun game, Dark Souls combat.

Cons:
The labyrinth boss, the Keeper. No matter what my settings are I always crash on this boss, usually when he is at half health. I've crashed more times than i've died agianst that boss.

Will update if things change.

Edit: 6/30/15

After 5 more crashes during the boss fight The Keeper, I was succesful. Upon leaving the labyrinth I crashed another 3 times. But eventually I was able to leave the horrible DLC crash zone. After that the game didn't have a single crash, just as it was before I entered the labyrinth.

After that the game ran fine, I continued to progress in the game and defeated the boss. Their are three possible endings but I will not be replaying this game anytime soon. Skip the DLC and you might enjoy this game.

Base game 7/10
DLC -4/10
Overall 3/10

Oblitus "the 2D Dark Souls".
I'll have the short version first then the indepth review below.

The good:
Permanent death.
No check points.
The art style is aesthetically pleasing.
The controls are solid.
The story is okay.
One weapon.

The bad:
Very short game.
Resolution can become pixelated in full screen/ framerate loss.
Enemy's are often trapped outside of the range to attack you.
Only four Bosses.
Lack of enemys, I've only encountered about 15.
Cannot see far below you.

2 cents:
I enjoy this game I think it has great potential to become something amazing. I bought this game simply because i've always enjoyed just about any game that adult swim games has produced. The permanit death is the only reason why I love this game. The constant thought of "oh man if I mess this up I gotta' start over again" playing in the back of my mind as I flawlessly kill boss after boss is what I love about this game. I hope they never change the perma-death conecpt and never add check points, if you want check points or pats on the back for achieving nothing then go play Candy Crush. I wish they would add more enemy types, bosses, and levels. Also remove some of the OP enchantments like heavy armour/ invinciblity roll. I wish they'd add the ability to look down further, just so I could see if I as jumping in lava or safely on ground. I've had more deaths by lava then bosses.

Dark Souls comparison.
While yes the idea of collecting powerful souls for X to achive X is the story, and the controls are similar. They are not the same in gameplay. Dark Souls doesn't enforce perma-death. It also has checkpoints aka bonfires. Difficulty is not what comes to my mind with both games. Its more of a test of what you learned. Do you repeat the same strategy the same time over and over and expecting something to change? Or do you flex your tactics to succeed.? Both games stress that concept which many are so rejective towards. Oblitus also gives you "perks" that makes your journey even easier. This is based on your luck of the draw, but with one run I two shotted the smith. They snowball so drastically that you can almost litrally become unkillable. Dark souls does not have "perks" that you can grab to greatly effect your gameplay but a set of skills you can gradually improve.

"Should I buy"?
If your afraid of dieing then don't. You will have to repeat the game over and over until you beat all bosses or give up compeltely. There are no checkpoints or game saves. If you quit the game or die you have to start over. If you don't mind learning the controls and willing change tactics towards how you play the game, then by all means I would suggest it.
