You mean exactly how a "roguelite" type game is supposed to be? See Binding of Isaac or Hades.
I really like this game, though be warned, unlocking every item you can is counterproductive to beating it on harder difficulties. It is much better to skip underpowered weapons and only unlock the powerful stuff, prevents you from getting worthless loot late in the game when you need it.

I ended up having to reroll my game because I went in thinking it would be good to unlock every weapon and kit

Thanks for this. Great game for a great price that I beat pre-DLC on PC. Excited to replay with new content on handheld.

I adore this game. It is the one that was finally up to my standards for roguelike games.

It can be difficult, but the more you okay, the stronger your character gets (in theory).

Hope you like dying.

This game was too difficult for me to enjoy. Die once and start from beginning, and the level is totally different so that you can't remember patterns of or enemy locations.

Thanks for the info. That's honestly what I've been doing.

Just buy this game. Don't think just do it. Hollow Knight, BOTW and this game are maybe my favorite games I've played on the switch so far

It is the reason why I love playing this game.

Have you tried custom mode? That is what it is intended for. It lets you control what items are in the loot pool, just don't remove too many or you will disable achievements.

This game is not for me. I don't like procedurally generated levels. Everytime you die, the level is different. I tried to like it, but after playing four or five times, I just moved on to another game.

Back in the days of when video games(at least from what I remember(no save points) and their beginnings, you would die and start from zero everytime lol. Not all but this is the way it was. It got a little better and better as the years passed lol.
