A hidden gem of the survivors genre1 found this helpful
Best survivors game ever1 found this helpful
After 34 hours I've finally managed to defeat the final boss. This game has limitless potential, the character and spell leveling system is remarkably well made and fun to play around with. The unique level ups for spells combined with different spell modifiers gives this game unreal amounts of replayability. Game is pretty difficult and needs some time to get into and understand all the niche mechanics the game provides, but after you get into it, it's incredibly fun building a literal god character. The progression system along with difficulty/world modifiers is pretty unique in the way it works and you can combine modifiers to suit the build you're going for. The game strongly rewards you for increasing difficulty, and you will want those rewards! It is an early access release and the developer is constantly working on updating the game with QOL changes and bug fixed, and I believe they will expand this game to new heights with new characters, spells, domains and much much more in the future. Strong recommend for any lovers of survivor like roguelites. Play the demo, check it out, and support this amazing developer!1 found this helpful
Fun game. Very complicated imo and some mechanics don't really make sense to me yet... but overall it's fun. It seems like there are a lot of synergies between different spells, spell aspects, and talents. (seemingly) MUCH harder in multiplayer than in singleplayer; in a 2-player multiplayer where we didn't manage to kill the final boss I alone had 60% more damage done than a singleplayer run where I did kill the boss, that doesn't even include the other player's damage.
This game is great. I was on the fence when I originally purchased as its probably just vampire survivor again but different, and while that is partial true, there is ALOT more going on. The rpg and build variety options are great, and the meta progression/run customization are also such a refreshment from the average survivor-like. Cant wait to see what EA changes bring, but at the moment 20 hours few by and that already makes the price p worth it. I see easy 100(s?) hours over next few months or so. LOTS of content there already.
