I, too, picked it up after posting yesterday, for Switch. I had a blast (started it before bed, boy, was that a mistake)! I was enthralled. I only did one run but it provided a lot of satisfaction along the way. They aren't lying about the inventory management, you'll be looking for ways to max out the benefit of your collective items, based on proximity to each other, to receive the most benefit to your armor/weapons/items. I probably spent a little too much time sorting that stuff throughout the dungeon, but that's the point of the game!
I made it back to town after that first run. Here is what confuses me. Town looks to be another place, that you build up over time, that will also have proximity based bonuses to buildings depending on how you place them. The confusing part is: what happens to the stuff you bring back from your runs (armor/weapons/items)? It appears to me that you might only be supposed to sell it all for town building materials. Like you can't use the stuff on your next run! But that's as far as I got. I did not go on a second run yet.
I bought it and I am really enjoying it. Not sure if you got to that point yet since then, but it seems that yes, most of the stuff you bring back is just for selling and getting town resources.
However, there are lots of "research" quests that may require one item or another. Those unlock new quests and items. So I think that's the main reason for not selling everything every time (probably not worth keeping stashes of stuff if you don't know yet whether you'll need them though).
There are also special items that you need to give to specific characters, but those aren't sellable to begin with.
Ah wonderful! I'm really enjoying it so far. And I have not sold everything right away.
