9th Dawn Remake Steam Charts & Stats

A visually upgraded game with worse gameplay. Early game is painfully hard to get through, mid-game makes you overpowered and in endgame you are an unkillable god (reverse difficulty curve). Bosses can spawn unfairly close to a ladder, instantly killing you in early game, and some even bug out (like falling into water, making them unkillable). Enemies are bullet sponges and in early you're kinda forced to rely on a pet army, cluttering the screen with zillions of damage numbers. Combat feels clunky, and enemies can even attack and cast huge aoe spells through walls and occasionally fall into water/lava (becoming unkillable for most builds and causing your pets to follow them into it). This game lacks tooltips, ability descriptions and clear mechanics. Dungeons require excessive backtracking, especially if you miss the dungeon-specific minimap-pickup. A specific gate requires just walking close-by instead of a lever, but if you don’t know that, you’ll waste hours retracing your steps. I'm still not sure if dual wielding even does anything or if the developers forgot to implement that. Chests feel useless since random mobs drop better loot. The "open world" isn't really open, as most areas are locked behind quests. Some keys (i.e. the arrow keys) cannot be bound in the input options. The good? No more mining, pets can evolve into other monsters, coop play, quality of life improvents compared to the previous game, a HUGE overworld with many dungeons and there's a lot of content (took me ~23 hours to beat). But with frustrating mechanics and worse gameplay than the non-remake version, this is to me a letdown.

its like a updated old school RPG with good flow and awesome game machanics

Very good so far, waiting to get a friend in on it, keep up the good work. It's similar to a lot of games, but no similar enough to hard compare it to anything, you just have to give it a shot.
