Having played through the game I would recommend it as probably the best 2D souls-like I have played. And as much as it differs from the original, the core gameplay loop is still there.

There is a large number of bosses currently in the game and they feel mostly unique from one another. There are however instances where bosses can feel rather coin-flippy with some seemingly unavoidable patterns.

For me I encountered a couple however relatively minor bugs and it seems most of which have been addressed. These issues were expected and didn't detract from the game.

For future development I think it would be nice to maybe see some of the original game mechanics reintroduced, ice, snow, wind for example and perhaps some more platforming heavy areas with lower enemy density.

Some other improvements I would like to see would be to the inventory, specifically having the option to stash / sell items to avoid clutter. Also perhaps some reworking of attributes as it seems to promote maintaining balance, however this pretty much leaves your only decision to be which attributes to choose, armour choice doesn't matter as long as your attributes support it (not necessarily bad as it allows more for vanity), nonetheless would like to see more of a benefit to building unbalanced.

Noting existing bugs in case any developers read this:
- It seems that you cannot calibrate max level weapons
- Some heavy weapons are able to multi-hit, UGS heavy, katana special (may be intended)
- Some weapons don't have sound
- Some items don't have descriptions
- Getting hit while interacting can softlock you from interacting with other objects
- Perpetual face planting when stuck between enemies. (encountered a few times mostly in fungal fields)
- Trader NPC sometimes not spawning at boglink shrine

it's just 2d minecraft
