So, in short I am negative about it. However, you might be saying "Isn't what you're describing just what rogue-likes/lites/whatever are?" Well, having played Risk of Rain, Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon, Hades, Streets of Rogue, Atomicrops, and I am sure there are others which I can't think of right now. NONE of them felt anywhere near as random or frustrating.

For one, there was never a timer. Whenever those games DO have a timer, that's self-imposed, like heat in Hades or mutations in Streets of Rogue. Risk of rain kind of applies, but it's not like the game just says "screw you asshole, you die now." And instead it's just constantly increasing difficulty.

Second, the player is never tied to a default weapon, completely unable to even get any other one because IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THE WEAPON PICKUP DIDN'T SPAWN. Even if the weapon isn't perfect, all those games always offer at least an option. NOT Wall World. Oh and there are also weapons which are just awful. Or might be good vs trash mobs, but not even be able to reach the boss due to projectile falloff.

And then of course there is a resource management, and that's just a giant can of worms on its own.

Again, rarely been this frustrated about a game I want to like. And I honestly tried.
