My body is ready.
Honestly, this is game is awesome. Fighting my way through a random castle with a dwarfish Paladin with severe flatulence, which occassionally makes you jump higher, only to die and enter the castle again as a monochromatic (which means everything is black and white) Wizardess with a severe lack of depth perception in the next generation is absolutely hilarious.
Basically you play the game first as some cool Warrior dude, only to finish the game 120 generations later as his severely degenerated offspring.
The castle rooms are randomly distributed each time you enter, except if you pay a dude to keep it the same. For that service he takes some percentage of all the gold you collect this run. Quite a big percentage iirc.
Also a Xbox controller is really handy, once you get the dash ability it's way easier to dash left/right with left/right triggers instead of Q and R or whatever it is on the keyboard. It's kind of weird they did not go for only backwards dash as in most Castlevanias.
I dug through the demos files a bit, and apparently all the rooms are saved as .xml files, so maybe there will also be some modding in the future too.

I played the demo last night and it was magnificent! It took me nearly FIFTY generations before I finally nailed the boss, but what a glorious bloodline t'was!

It is indeed. Very fun game. Probably took me 35 or so generations, you do need a gamepad for optimal play though.

Agreed guys, I've just tried the demo, loved it. Classic roguelike with procedurally generated levels, great 2D pixel art and music, and a very interesting upgrade system on top of that.
Pretty damn hard too at first (which is a plus), but it gets easier once you progress and unlock/upgrade skills so..yay!

Aye! That looked nasty as hell, and yet attractive  . Great times ahead. Our poor patience will be thoroughly tested, that's for sure
@mach1ne: don't worry, the fact that each playthrough is different (unless you decide to freeze the level) makes it almost impossible to get bored.  |

This was the Gamersgate version but it had no protection either(...much like the heroes...), I guess FLT might rip the GoG version and maybe some other group will do the Steam one, seems to happen now and then but anyways a release is probably soon to come with the game now available from multiple sources.
(Fairlight with GoG and Skidrow using Steam.)

Awesome game. Just played a little but have to goto bed. I'm loving it.
Please just buy the game folks, they deserve the money. Even at the higher price of $15 it's still cheap considering the replay value.
What is interesting from looking through the game files is that the game appears to be quite easily modded.
