I did not expect this.
This game is incredibly good: gameplay is stellar, soundtrack is awesome, characters are funny and memorable AND devs are so awesome they're actually adding new campaigns for free! Yup these guys add entire DLCs without charging a dollar!
A 100% buy, definitely worth it's price.
Oh, have you spent your childhood playing 8-bit, 16-bit platformers? Then it's 200% buy for you!

[EDIT1: To address "game is too hard" reviews]
Come on guys, game gives you infinite lives, most stages have 4+ checkpoints, you have quite a few tools which help you tackle any situation (even invincibility-on-demand item). Old 8-bit games were way less forgiving than that and we still managed to beat and enjoy them.

[EDIT2: Friendly advice on Plague of Shadows]
To my brethren alchemists: a good chemists takes his time to brew a perfect potion! Tweak your bombs and choose your skills in accordance to the situation at hand! And don't rush in like some blue headed fool with a garden tool!

[EDIT3: On Specter of Torment]
YCG once again outdid themselves!
The DLC is on par with original. The story, gameplay mechanics and music are all stellar. I also found it more difficult (especially the NG+) which is a plus in my book.

[EDIT4: King of Cards]
King Knight is a jerk.. goofy, with fun move set, but jerk nonetheless..
I really like the decisions devs made with this campaign:
- shorter levels with focus on a single mechanic
- less hit points (challenge!), but compensated by enemies dropping hearts on 3rd hit
- bosses getting extra phases once reaching certain health thresholds
- more great music from virt
- the card game feels like a nice distraction (also totally optional if not your thing)
.. and a great story\char cast is still here

On Showdown:
Probably a single thing I'm not a fan of.. I do like the moves and animations of the characters, yet this mode feels designed exlusively for coop, playing single on hard is a misery.
