24 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay features a diverse range of characters with unique abilities and stats, allowing for strategic customization and progression through leveling and equipping power-ups. Players can explore various maps with distinct challenges, although some initial runs may feel unsatisfying due to a learning curve. Recent updates have improved fluidity and accessibility, while innovative mechanics keep the gameplay engaging, despite some balance issues that still need addressing.
“There's a good variety of characters currently, each being either melee, ranger, or magic. These all have different starting stats, items, abilities, and unique weapons.”
“The two main things that make this game stand out are the character stats and economy. All characters have stats like strength, agility, luck, etc., that affect various gameplay elements. You can upgrade these as you level up, getting bigger bonuses for reaching 50% and 100% in each stat.”
“On top of character leveling, you also have a typical meta-progression where you can equip up to 10 different power-ups that buff various stats and gameplay events. You can mix and match these depending on which map and character you play as.”
“There are some balance issues to work through, and the initial few runs can be unsatisfying until you figure out some of the mechanics, not that they're too difficult.”
“In the games that this mechanic was copied from, they indicate which side of the screen the monsters are about to come from and when they are coming much better.”
“Edit: while I have not personally played the more recent updates, I have seen gameplay of it and most of my gripes are largely no longer present.”
