Alpha Nomos leans heavily on its strengths, and doesn’t pay much attention to anything else. A deep appreciation for music and hack-and-slash combat drives the game, and slaying enemies in time with the beat can be incredibly fun. However, a lack of variety will keep some players from spending much time with it. Its relatively short run time keeps it from overstaying its welcome, and is a solid addition to your library as a fun game to spend an hour or two a day.
The tracks are all excellent, the music and sound effects are jaw-dropping, and both gameplay and customization have a ton of depth. The single player campaign is surprisingly good and has a lot more under the hood than I was expecting. Its roguelike elements are well-thought out, and will keep you coming back for more well after you beat the game.
