Gameplay feedback indicates that while the core mechanics show potential, they require further refinement, particularly regarding difficulty balance. Players find the aggression level on easy mode excessive, hindering their ability to learn the game's mechanics effectively.
“The core mechanics are well-designed and provide a solid foundation for future updates.”
“The gameplay can be quite challenging, especially for newcomers trying to learn the mechanics.”
“The aggro mechanic adds an interesting layer to the gameplay, though it could use some refinement.”
“However, this is EA, so I would hope the devs plan to add such things later, after the core mechanics are fleshed out better.”
“This is way too aggressive on easy since I am only trying to figure out the mechanics of the game at this point.”
“Their aggro mechanic is kind of dumb.”
