    Trailer description says, “roguelike action”.

    Isn’t this just a beat 'em up. What’s the roguelike part? Do you keep getting stronger with permanent upgrades or something?

      So I haven’t played yet, but it most likely has some kind of permadeath mode, leading them to use the label, correctly or not. The term is often misused anyway, so these days it’s hard to know what they’re really trying to say

      It’s a beat 'em up, but when you finish a level you can get upgrades from the money you collected. And the other levels become harder. And when you die, you can buy a continue, but if you’ve used your money on upgrades there’s a chance you’ve run out and you just die for good. Guess that’s “roguelike action”?

        Oh, it doesn’t sound like something I would like, specially the other levels getting difficult part.
