Nice! Even though I was initially confused over the keyboard layout (fixed when I checked out the options menu) it played well. Love this idea of a rogue-like game, having your descendants taking up the sword after your death(s) as it were.
I died a few times before I fixed the keyboard issue, but after that only died once or twice before getting the hang of it. 5 deaths total.
SPOILER/Game Hint: Using your bow is the best tool against the boss.
