  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for being too linear and repetitive, leading to boredom after a few sessions despite its engaging premise and challenging early gameplay. While players appreciate the initial difficulty and mechanics, the exploration aspect feels overly random and unrewarding, detracting from overall progression and enjoyment. Improvements are needed to enhance exploration and diversify the gameplay experience.

    • “Challenging early gameplay: the initial impression was, 'Oh wow, this won't be a walk in the park,' and I always welcome a challenge. This ensures that players are quickly engaged and invested in mastering the game mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay loop is too linear for a roguelite.”
    • “There is also an exploration mechanic, but it takes way too many tries to find something interesting in the fog of war.”
    • “The exploration mechanic needs to be tweaked so that we get to explore more and/or find more points of interest.”
  • replayability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game offers engaging decision-making that adds some depth and replay value, many players feel that the short gameplay loop limits its overall replayability, making it less appealing for those looking for long-term engagement.

    • “Tough choices: throughout the game, players must make difficult decisions after each wave that impact their progress and strategy, adding depth and replay value to each playthrough.”
    • “It's a fun little game, but the gameplay loop is short and you run out of replayability pretty quickly in my opinion.”
    • “However, the game falls short in providing extensive replayability, which might be a drawback for those seeking prolonged engagement.”
    • “It's a fun little game, but the gameplay loop is short and you run out of replayability pretty quickly in my opinion.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly in the latter stages, as it lacks sufficient meta upgrades to enhance progression. Many feel that the slow pace is artificially extended, leading to frustration rather than a rewarding experience.

    • “It needs more meta upgrades so you can become better each run rather than running out, and now it's just grinding a very perfect strategy to get further.”
    • “And it feels like the only reason it is so slow and grindy is just to make it seem longer.”
    • “The game gets quite repetitive and a bit tedious in the second half.”
  • story
