Doesn't live up to the hype.

I like rogue-like games with some story aspects and some character building. I found this game to be super boring. Grind through each level, get to a boss, die, start over. Get past the boss, but then die, you start over. Even with the unlocks which make your character stronger, each boss fight is just such a grind and not fun. Yes, this is true for every rogue-like, but the difference here is that the grind is not fun.

There's also a lot of "luck" with the RNG drops that really determine if you're going to have a good play through or not. If you get a couple of bad drops, you're much more likely to be doomed and have a much harder run, and likely will die without making much progress.

This is very similar to Robo-Quest, but the difference is that Robo-Quest is actually fun, and it makes you want to replay the levels. Risk of Rain 2 is also another fantastic Rogue-like with tons of replayability. In Hades II, I found the levels boring and even more boring combat. Too late for a refund. Oh well.
