The verdict
A deep, polished open-world traditional roguelike with base building, cheese-based magic and co-op, at a bargain early-access price. Skip it if pronoun display or a cluttered UI would bother you.
Great for
Fans of Caves of Qud, Dwarf Fortress and ToME who like base building, crafting and open-ended exploration
Main risk
Overloaded UI and shallow combat, plus the removed pronoun toggle, may put you off
