I wasn't sure myself, when I bought it. Hadn't really played anything comparable before. But, after deciding to try it out one day, I got completely sucked it. It is one of those games which is easy to get started, but hard to complete. But even though it is hard to complete, you just want to keep on trying and trying because it is such fun.
It takes skill, but not the sort of "skill" required to click 10+ buttons on a gamepad. You only need to use 4 buttons, i.e. 4 cursor keys on your keyboard in order to play - And it is really nice being able to play one-handed. You need to think ahead, and work out moves a few moves in advance, as well as keeping in step with the rhythm.
It is a really well-crafted game. The weapons and items, the strategy, the fore-thought, the different monsters. As you go level by level deeper and deeper into the game, you're not facing the same monsters. You're facing new, fresh, different ones and you need to develop different strategies to face them.
Probably recommend purchasing when you spot it on sale, and adding it to your wishlist for now. Unless my comments above have converted you to "instant purchase". This little video might help make your mind up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI_zOU8AZNY
