Hordes of Hunger

I am about an hour in and the game seems really fun. However I'm considering refunding cause of the enemy that reduces your dmg to 1 and spawns hyper frequently basically turning the quest you're doing into a frustrating loot up trying to hit the enemy (that also tries to avoid you) just so you can have a chance to hit the creatures/do the objective for 1 second before it spawns again. Any of these would fix the issue: - Remove the enemy entirely (its unfun) - Severely limit the spawns - Add some condition that prevents them spawning for the current objective (kill a totem or something idk)

I want to like it, the problem is it just is more an exercise in frustration. It's hard to say "Oh just speed up your parries" when the 4th area starts with A mix of A) Fast attacking enemies who need to be parried and B) Enemies that do fast, unblockable attacks at the area you're standing... which are quicker than your parry animation so tough luck if you want to parry ever again! Hey let's just throw out a key mechanic and make it so you can only dodge. Shame that the attacks track. Ah well, there's plenty of other games in the sea.

The concept is fun but the combat controls are too janky to enjoy. I spent more time fighting the controls than I did fighting the enemies. All combat is pretty much focused on spamming parry, but if you miss once, good night. On top of that, the dodge feels ...really bad. The round 2 enemies in the first zone will have a blast area longer than your dodge, good luck. The "roguelike" feature is fairly limited up front - There are several extremely good upgrades, if those are missed your rounds will be significantly harder. (e.g. you can hope for 1pts fire damage aura OR get an immediate 50% damage boost). Nothing really increases survivability, so it doesn't matter if you can cut through the horde, a few missteps and you're toast either way. TL;DR - Controls are janky and it punishes you for playing.

Do not buy this game, its a clunky mess and the mechanics are complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Do not waste money on this trashpile.

Dynasty warriors roguelite, I should love this. But I don't its incredibly frustrating, Its grindy but thats not my problem with it. I Hate the extraction mechanic almost as much as skills being scrolls you need to extract with, plus them being area specific loot tables, meaning the skills I want/need are probably locked away in a later area. Whats even worse is the meta progression limitations, I feel like I am playing a demo. I highly doubt this game has any kind of limit break, I've heard there is no way to seal skills so 6 banishes are all you get. I may play this again, maybe it gets better later, but if they meta progression level cap doesn't increase i doubt i will be changing my review. I would avoid this one.

I like the combat but meta progression needs more improvement. Having to repeat the same events is not very enjoyable.
