Tried for almost 2 hours to play and did everything possible to stay alive. Its just so unbalanced and easy mode is like nightmare mode if there was one. 500 enemies at full speed attack a hero that is slow as a snail, even with upgrades maxed he is slow and weak. The skills and weapons dont do enough damage as the enemies catch the hero every time. Bosses and explosions happen 2mins into the game with nothing to show in progress. Game has to lower the difficulty immensely and raise the stats of everything on the hero to be playable. Also the exp is so low and takes forever to earn you hardly level at all. Its a lose lose situation. Had to refund because the dev seems like he has never played one of these games before. Otherwise he would have made it balanced and fair, and want players to enjoy the game. The reason this genre became so big and made the dev of Vampire Survivors so much money...is because of the balance and progression. You earned things at a steady pace but enough to see big damage if you followed certain guidelines that werent overly complicated. The skills and passives and weapons felt good and rewarding. Games that have tried to mirror VS...even sli…

It looks amazing (my kind of art style), the soundtrack is banging, the writing so far is pretty funny (team Alsar!) but the progression rates? Very steep curves, everywhere, slow burn, milestones for tasks and purchases are way too far apart. 100k for the first/cheapest upgrade when your first few runs only get you 800~ each? I'm going to be needing a lot of achievements for this game to keep me going, and don't get me wrong, I want it to. Yeah, once you unlock your 3rd npc it gets easier, but still. Speedrunners would love this though. From an accessibility pov, it's kinda nice to be able to play w one hand/finger (I use the L thumbstick on my gamepad), but I do miss the option to aim for myself, as the game does not always prioritize enemies the way I'd like it to... There're no rerolls, lock-ins, discards, or health drops, only an increasable chance to purchase a heal/th upgrade, no wave/in-between bosses, no real waves either (that I've noticed), the enemies just gradually become more numerous and advanced with time it seems. Feels like a matter of memorizing the map and praying for RNGesus. Still experimenting, but def adds to the difficulty, only slightly missing those fea…

Only played 20min so far but I'm really enjoying it. I've played just about every survivors game there is and this one feels unique. I like where the dev is going with it and I hope he continues to work on it - has a ton of promise. EDIT after an hour of play: Game is grindy, the game needs balancing, upgrades need to be 50% cheaper as the initial game progression is too slow. EDIT 2 Dev seems great and responds to feedback, glad to support.
