The gameplay is complex and requires time to understand its many niche mechanics, but it becomes highly rewarding and fun once mastered, especially in building powerful characters. Players appreciate the depth and scaling, though clearer explanations of certain mechanics and hidden boss damage reductions would improve the experience.
“Lots of mechanics and a satisfying scaling, takes a few games to learn the mechanics and the different stats but once you get the hang of it the scaling gets bonkers.”
“Gameplay depth is great, and I kinda dig the vibe.”
“Game is pretty difficult and needs some time to get into and understand all the niche mechanics the game provides, but after you get into it, it's incredibly fun building a literal god character.”
“Suggestions: would like to see mechanics explained in more depth (aspects, some of the modifiers and how they interact, etc.).”
“The only annoying thing is no clarity on boss damage reduction; there is some hidden mechanic that reduces damage they take the more damage you do, so scaling ultra hard damage is less effective versus more survivability.”
