I'm a sucker for the casino aesthetic, and cool to see it in a Survivor setting. 

Pros:

• The visual design is great. Between the casino setting, color pallet, and character designs, everything felt very cohesive. The game looks classic without feeling outdated.
• The level design felt good. The level was big without feeling massive. Varied enough to not be super repetitive. Featured wide open areas for kiting as well as skinny passages for funneling. All of this while still feeling like it could be the layout of an actual casino.

Cons:

• The power fantasy isn't here for me. I don't feel all that much more powerful from when I start the game to when it end. The only upgrade that feels impactful is attack speed upgrades, and even then it doesn't make me feel like I could confidently take on a hoard of enemies, just pick them off one my one a little faster. 
• The mutation mechanic isn't well communicated. It wasn't clear to me from the get go that I could trigger a mutation whenever I wanted. My best guess for how the mechanic actually works is that the more blood you collect, the higher chance you have a getting a strong mutation, but it still feels like a guess as even at a high blood count you can still get fairly weak mutations. 

Nice game overall, enjoyed playing through it!
