King Krieg

Sadly, one of the worst games in the sub-genre. Key flaws: > Weird hitboxes > Enemies can and WILL spawn on top of you, for the whole time > The gold/item and usefulness/item scales are dumb, there a lot of bad items that cost a lot, and a lot of good items that don't cost that much.. Also, there are way too many items to buy in each shop trip, it breaks the game apart too much honestly > Hard to tell when and how spells hit, same for weapons > Too many mechanics interlocking: meta progression, relics, weapons, magic, equippable items, stats upgrade for each level up.. Too much, and they don't play into each other. You can do a shop trip anytime and gain +30% XP gain, just to then get a +4% XP gain on level up after a couple minutes of grinding.. The game also gaslits you into thinking leveling up is one of the strongest things, since it's the only one removed in the waves after 30, and on that note.. > Waves after 30 are really bad gameplay. Just farm gold and get killed not by incoming enemies, but by enemies that spawn on top of you, so you can be as strong as u want but will take damage either way. 3/10

Movement freezes using keyboard every time after leveling, resuming a few seconds after you select your upgrade essentially forcing you to die eventually. Alt-F4.

at this current state it's not fun. there isn't a tutorial, so i have no clue what to do. the wizard guy who gives you spell rarely even spawns after round 2, so i barely even did the selling point of this game. enemies spawn right infront of you and get you to super low health unless you have a fast reaction time because the markers barely give you a heads up.

Let me prafce this by, I have considered refunding this game three times while playing despite it only having cost 1 buck (It was on sale). In the end the only thing that made me keep it was the very low price. The game isn't bad, the art style is nice, and there is some idea behind it. BUT there are some glaring issues that should have been fixed considering it came out more than a year ago. My biggest issue with it is that the description for the abilities are so terrible you would think a 5 year old wrote them after being given a very basic explanation of what said ability does, and the ability names don't help either. Second issue, you start every single run with the same basic "melee" attack, and you get nothing new until wave 2, enemies spawn in at random and they move pretty fast and if by unluck you picked a wrong ability because of the issue mentioned above then you will have half of screen full with enemies. At wave X I was not able to reach the skill vendor because enemies were swarming over him. Which leads to the third issue, if you get hit, you will get hit again, if you thought you would get an i-frame like you should maybe, then think again, you will get comboe…
