And to that point, how much of the game is like in the trailers with town building?

I like games like Isaac, Gungeon, and to a lesser extent Forager, though I obviously prefer the first 2 more than Forager. I'm not a huge developer kind of guy, so anything outside of like.... Dark Cloud, I don't really enjoy.
Runs are shorter and easier than Isaac. Maintaining your cult is probably the majority of the game.

I'd say the town building to dungeon crawling ratio is about 60/40. You need to have a certain amount of followers in your village to unlock the gates to each world. They also grant you the xp needed to unlock power ups for the dungeon and village. The dungeon aspect is very simple from a gameplay experience and the bosses are fun enough. It's a fun cute little game that you can run through in 12 hours.

If you've ever played Actraiser on the SNES then this game is closer to that.

That's unfortunate. Dungeon running is what I enjoy about Isaac. I would purposely lose in Forager just to push myself to see how far I could get.
