I agree with pretty much everything you've said. After a couple hours I've kinda decided the game isn't for me. I usually really enjoy survivor-likes (is that the right term?) but this one isn't really for me. I think its hype is kinda overblown simply for the humor in the game and less so the quality of the mechanics. If you haven't played Halls of Torment before I highly suggest that game. Has a lot more build variety imo, with a better unlock system and a better game loop.
