The gameplay is described as entertaining and engaging, featuring a solid loop with RPG mechanics and good fighting and movement systems, which contribute to its replayability. However, players note a lack of interesting items that could enhance the experience, and while the game performs well on lower-end computers, the absence of online multiplayer is seen as a significant drawback. Overall, it shows promise for future updates, but currently sits at a 7/10 rating.
“The gameplay loop is entertaining and engaging; if this had online multiplayer, it would be a 10/10. Right now, it's a 7/10.”
“Tldr; endless replayability, performs well on my potato computer, would be super fun with friends, and the fighting and movement mechanics feel good.”
“Also features RPG mechanics, so it's not just straight leveling up as in Risk of Rain.”
“The game bears signs of good early access like Battle Brothers and Oni, in the sense that the early access release is far from the first iteration of its gameplay.”
“In a couple of hours, I unlocked a few characters with different gameplay styles and arrived at stage 5, but at the beginning, it seemed very difficult to pass stage 2.”
“There is a lack of interesting items; the game wants to be like Risk of Rain, but it lacks the original items that would spice up your gameplay.”
