RAIDBORN

Magic behind a DLC for a game that is still buggy? No thanks

Ok, here is the thing. I really wanted to like this game, because Raidborn got some interesting points and quite simple mechanics. But... no, it's impossible to like it after some hours invested. It's evidentely missing many important things, expecially lacking of some elementary QoL things, for example: there's no button to switch weapons, you gotta use the hotkeys to assign one specific weapon to a slot and then recall with the relative number. Nothing fancy, yes, Valheim for example got the same way to switch between tools and weapons, but at least in Valheim you can see the bar with the hotkeys, always, in Raidborn you gotta press a button to show the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ menu. The problem is that you do everything with those hotkeys, but for some reasons if you run out of something (ex. heal pots), you gotta assign again the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pot to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slot over and over. Seriously? Then there's the balance or I would say the absence of the balance. If you play with the bow and for example you invest points in the Rogue class, your journey is way easier than if you for example play the Knight class (the dumbest and ineffective class in the whole game). Not to mention that when you …

Good game. I give it a solid 7/10. Ignore the people complaining about the magic DLC. Dev asked early on if we wanted a higher price tag or magic as DLC, and the community voted for DLC. I did a complete run before magic was even released, you really don't need it to have a good time in this game.

Very smooth, "infinite" (spawns new dungeons after completing) dungeon crawler. If you just want some mindless / smooth dungeon hacking it fills the itch nicely.

Its a fun and simplegame, perfect for unwinding after a long day. I enjoyed playing the game and hunting all achievements. [spoiler] Even after making the mistake of selling my wooden sword [/spoiler] I hope the game keeps getting updates, maybe a few more dungeon types or something like that
