June 2023 Update
Next update (works only on profile page)
- Nice brainless hack'n'slash
- Still game where colors or transmog are not paid for or obtained via loot box
- Classes are distinct enough to play the game more than one and not get bored with gameplay
- Pet is actually useful in picking up gold
The bad 👎
- Even on very hard is too easy
- Backgrounds rendered in 5 or 10FPS
- Uninteresting companions and NPCs
- Some runs don't give any better gear to equip
- Not possible to turn off visibility of junk loot
- All weapon racks give some junk gray quality items
- All boss fights are so bad. They just die after a minute or two, and have no interesting attacks. Just spam a stronger version of whatever it's mob version is using.
Conclusion:
It is a nice game to play if you like hack'n'slash. But it's not for people who primarily look for good plot. It is also impression from single player, I'm not interested in multiplayer.
Details
☑ Bare-bone ☐ Average ☐ Good |
☐ Boring ☑ Average ☐ Good |
Reach point, kill everything, rinse, repeat. Boring. Unless you like repetitive waves of similar enemies. |
☐ Basics (walk, jump etc.) ☑ Magic / powers ☐ Advanced combat |
Gaining levels unlock abilities, or a new variant of existing one + some passive bonuses. But in general there are 1-2 good variants of an ability, and rest are stuffer. With passives, higher level are better, so we swap them as they are unlocked. There is no classic skill tree, we just swap abilities. There is simple crafting system that I never used as gear we have or find is better, and it's waste of time. Unless you need to have this specific bow with this specific properties set. Then Roll the Dice. Weapon level and properties on creation are random. |
☐ Clunky and stiff ☑ Adequate ☐ Fluid and enjoyable |
It's an isometric game with mouse controlling the hero and numeric keys which ability will be used. |
☐ Basic ☑ Detailed ☐ Over complicated |
This was actually well-made. Inventory is well organized, and it's easy to compare new vs old gear. It is reasonably big, though not possible to upgrade. |
☑ Boring and generic ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Great |
It is flashy and gore, but also brainless and repetitive. We don't need to use any strategy and abilities are on cooldown. |
☑ Brain dead ☐ Really basic ☐ Average ☐ Smart and responsive |
Enemy AI can't be higher than the one given to player companions. So enemies are brain-dead, they will just come to us in straight line and attack. |
☐ None ☑ Skins ☐ "Time-savers" ☐ Direct purchase ☐ Custom currency (gems etc.) |
☐ None ☐ Story progression ☐ Few collectibles / easy to get ☑ Grindy collectibles / hard to get ☑ Require multiple playthroughs |
☐ No saves ☐ No saves, progress carries over ☐ One checkpoint, too rare ☑ One checkpoint, frequent ☐ Manual saves |
☐ Can run on potato ☑ Medium requirements ☐ High requirements ☐ Too low for what is visible on screen ☐ Optimization disaster |
☐ May look good 10 years ago, but not now ☑ Blurry textures / geometry problems ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Beautiful |
☐ Nothing to remember ☑ Good voice acting ☐ Good weapons & effects ☐ Good OST ☐ Music flows well with the action |
☐ Resolution, volume only ☑ Basic graphic settings ☐ Advanced graphic settings ☐ Adjustable HUD ☐ Accessibility options |
☐ No map ☐ Basic ☑ Detailed ☑ Minimap ☑ Fast travel |
Graphic is not big here, especially backgrounds are ugly. |
Side note
In Poland bus is faster than a bike. In London bike is faster, as bus needs to fight with narrow roads, angry drivers and bus stops that are every 2 minutes. Journey to work on the bike takes me 30min now (7km), with public transport it was 15min walk + 40min on the bus (7,5km drive). That’s crazy. And I know I drive slow, still not used to left hand driving.
I also don’t know how people in UK can have a bike without mud guards. Nothing like some mud on your face from your own tire. But so many people think they are “uncool”. Better to be sprayed all over with mud and water from long gone rain.
(Photo is random from the internet, but guy did not have mudguards on muddy forest trip)
Nice progress also love the effort for changing colors and fonts,
Well done !
Thanks :D Took a lot of time and iterations to get it to a point that I like.
