Very promising game that appears to have some very cool depth and replayability. I don't currently recommend because it still feels a bit "early access" even though it was released in 2019. Primarily 2 issues make it feel clunky to get into:
1) It is listed as "verified" on steamdeck with the green checkmark, but actually does not have native steamdeck controls and is quite difficult to play with steamdeck. The official layout sort of works, but the game displays mismatched PC and xbox controls (no steamdeck native controls) and many game functions (most critically ability hotkeys) are very clunky to use in realtime. There is a community layout that is a bit better but still confusing to map on-screen icons to controller buttons and a few things like scrollwheel and use inventory don't work correctly.

2) There is no tutorial, and some of the basic mechanics are pretty opaque and non-discoverable. It takes a lot of trial and error and googling around to figure out the basics. There isn't even a simple text getting started guide anywhere I could find.

Some investments in usability could make this game a lot more approachable for newcomers and the fundamental game experience seems like it could satisfy an under-served niche for couch and steamdeck play in this kind of dungeon diving roguelike.
