About the game
A top-down shooter roguelike where you explore randomly generated basements and defeat enemies by shooting tears. You clear rooms one by one collecting items, then beat each floor's boss to descend deeper. Item effects stack with each other and can completely transform how you attack. Expansions have greatly increased the characters, items and endings.
Why we recommend it
A classic where hundreds of items interact to create absurd combinations, and plenty of fans have poured thousands of hours into it.
Good for — Great for: anyone who enjoys endless replays and experimenting with item combinations
