It is one of the best games I have played in the last couple of months. I loved the mechanics and the concept. I wish it had local multiplayer or even an online multiplayer.
I don't know if it is still relevant now but congratulations on the new updates. When I first played the game, it was purely RNG with no means to win by skill. It was by pure luck that I managed to play. Now it can be done by careful planning. I changed my 2/5 score to 4/5.
As suggested, cantrips are the best upgrades possible. Keep your coins to buy cantrips and skip if possible.
Loved the game. Easiest way to beat down Hades is to go with the Mage class and get all the upgrades in the right tree and defense upgrades in left tree.
It is not a bad game but it turns into a grind too soon. I really liked the idea of upgrades, but I think you need to add more things to do with money and maybe even a leveling system with talents in the next game(s). For now, this game need keyboard shortcuts and a less grind levels.
I really like the idea behind the game and the structure of the gameplay. The difficulty change is perfect. You have enough time to adapt to the changes before you encounter new enemies. I wish the game paused the if the cursor moves outside the frame. 5/5
