I just played through the first game earlier this year with a friend of mine. It’s fun but dated in a lot of ways, so it will be cool to play a modernized version of that, especially when it comes to designing for controllers from the outset. The ability mod system looks really cool and reminds me of that game Superfuse that isn’t going over well right now in early access.

I hope they’re also looking at providing Steam Deck support for the original game too, otherwise there are going to be a lot of disappointed potential players looking to try/revisit the original. Like me:/

Never did manage to finish it, stuck on the last boss. Pile of shame.
