Honestly I haven't gotten enough time in to judge who's underrated, I can say that Ironeye and Duchess are my favorites so far. Mainly because they complement my play style approach to most arpg type games. I struggle with Recluse and Guardian, with the Wylder and the executor being fun, but aren't my natural play style. I haven't unlocked the last character option yet. I've just got too many good games on my "to play" list(my birthday was earlier this month), to be able to commit enough time and brain power to master it, for instance at this the differences in map design from the original title kind screw with me. I've no doubt once I check off a couple other tiles, I'll give Nightreign the time and planning it deserves.
I've got like 4.5 hours in, unlocked the duchess, who's tied with ironeye for my favorite nightfarers.. So far anyway. All of my runs have been solo so far, and the first few were very frustrating. I have yet to make it to day 2, but I've been close a couple times..stupid bell bearing collectors on pcp or something... It feels like a lot like Elden Ring or any of the more difficult soulslikes... But on fast forward. Even tho it makes combat more frenetic and difficult, I really enjoy fighting at that speed, even tho it makes me wanna throw my controller sometimes. I mean.. I feel like that's kind of the point of these games, or the good ones anyway.
