fun game! did you know that in the blacksmith, you can get 2 of the same upgrade? I got 2 vampirisms. Also, getting 2 of the same aspect, where one is just better is annoying (like getting a 3 attack and 4 attack) is annoying, maybe ensuring they are all different? that way there are 4 aspects and 3 choices, so there is always only 1 missing.
Also, curse is pretty op against bosses: making it deal a bunch of damage instead, or not work on bosses might help
