Please note that while the game is already available for purchase, the developer chooses to charge extra for early access vs his planned release price, so if you wait, it'll be cheaper. (This seems like an ass backwards pricing plan, but it's his game, he can do as he chooses)
edit: actually, here's a recent blog post explaining his pricing choices http://www.gridsagegames.com/blog/2017/01/pricing-roguelike/

There are pirated copies of earlier builds out there if you want to try it. (which is what I'm doing until release) And there's also the 7DRL (7-day roguelike, a weeklong roguelike focused game-jam) alpha alpha alpha alpha version for free from the main site http://cogmindrl.blogspot.com/p/files.html
As far as gameplay speed goes, it's a Roguelike, so it's turn-based and only as fast as you choose to go. Taking your time to think through each turn is usually better than ploughing through and making a stupid mistake. DCSS has taught me that lesson very well.
