The verdict
A turn-based, tabletop-style co-op RPG-roguelite with deeper combat and more content than the first game, best with friends. Skip it if you hate clunky UI, brutal RNG, or buggy saves.
Great for
Groups of friends or couples who like turn-based tabletop RPGs, build-crafting and laughing at dice rolls
Main risk
Clunky UI, slow pacing and save or multiplayer bugs can sour it, especially if you preferred the first game
