Glaivestorm

Monster HP Scaling is kind of dumb. Im lvl 20s having hard time killing lvl 8 maps and thats with a full damage stats and leveled up spells (as much as i can for my level). Not sure if people should just B-line to higher maps to get higher base equipment drops? Anyways, the scaling is off. It's also because, once you RUN OUT OF MANA, the mana pots and mana regen is a joke. Mana issues. Scaling price of pots is too high that you have to use the low level pots that heals 10 MANA ONLY for majority of the beginning of the game and your spell cast cost like 20-80+ mana each. Scaling in general is unbalanced and feels not fun. Skill aoe is tiny IMO. I went mage treeline. With the mana issues, it is annoying. I see on the melee, range, and shield tree, there are options to proc things to orbit you and do damage. Seems significantly more convenient to spec into. You lose all your gold in your inventory if you die. Kind of dumb mechanic because you can always just teleport out if feel like you're gonna die. So.....you're punished BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PRESS "M" TO TELEPORT TO THE SAFE ZONE. What a skill check huh? Please don't tell me you got this idea from dark souls, as in we lose our …

Considering Glaivestorm is a solo project - The scale of any RPG or ARPG is typically impressive for small teams. Glaivestorm is a fun topdown ARPG with random loot elements and a level based 'zone' system Blue Star (the developer) is constantly assessing feedback and open to critique, his game is constantly evolving and seeing positive changes incredibly often. Patches are rolled out often and these target feedback received within the Discord. Fixes and feedback are taken seriously and happen very quickly, developer is open to feedback and prone to new ideas. Lots of love goes into this project and for a solo project, it's very impressive regardless. The gameplay loop is not boring and the itemization is in a solid spot, potions and other features could use touch ups in my opinion but im glad with the rest of the project and where it's at Game could of course be much more visually appealing, but the gameplay is where its heart is at. Not every good looking game is a good game, so I say!

Glaivestorm is a fun, straightforward indie arpg. The systems aren't deep, the builds aren't complex, but the dev does a ton of fast updates and listens to all the feedback he has received, I think it is unfair to himself that he hasn't updated the trailer or photos much since the work he has put into it recently.
