There just seems to be no content, why make people even hold the button if there is nothing else to do with it. Could at the very least make it a toggle since it slows movement speed.
Also what's the purpose of movement speed and why can't the necromancer do anything besides raising the dead at the beginning (and then having only some aura)? Give her something to do as well, otherwise why is she so big? just so she would be more visible? That's bad logic.
Even most of the meta upgrades are useless, movement speed, max health, regen

Unfortunally, have to agree with other reviews: game fun at first, but after getting few upgrades it quickly becomes tedious, monotonous(fk me If i know how to spell that big smart word) jerking off session without climax. Once I've been playing this for 10 minutes more than I wanted simply because I was not able to die in any way and I needed exact amount of currency for final upgrade. Simply had to wait 10 ore minutes till someone would be able to end my suffering

The concept is great, a reverse horde survival game, it comes up short with content, though. Only one protagonist? Only one map? Not too many varieties of skills/powers, no unique classes/professions... it becomes boring very fast...
For instance, Jotunnslayer, Yet Another Zombie Survivors, and Death Must Die have many more classes/powers/skills AND items and maps than this cheap little game...

This is a $5 game. If you go into it expecting more, you will be disappointed. However for what it is worth, it is fun. It's simple and easy to understand, but satisfying.

Got though the beta content in about 6 hours. It a fun wandering army kind of game where you gain various powers on level up.
May require multiple installs but it can work on a steam deck.

A good time, and a neat spin on the usual horde survival design. The king boss feels too spongy and kind of lame, but otherwise this is a solid 5-10 hours of fun.

Easy to learn, but a decent amount of room to learn and refine your strategies. Lots of meta progression. Charming graphics, audio, storyline, and quirks. Really can't think of any critique; Dev(s?), whatever you're doing, keep it up.

It gets mindless pretty fast after leveling some meta upgrades and offers no to low replayability as all runs are basically the same. The selection of a few specific passives or a specific summoning method will already carry you through the runs. The only incentives for more runs after the first clear are basically unlocking a few more meta powerups, which you basically don't really need, and completing some of the extra challenges.
These challenges got nerfed over time throughout various patches, by turning down the requirements drastically. Things you could easily complete aside other challenges in at max one or two tries, got tuned down to around 20 to 25% of the initial requirement.
On top of those issues, the developer/s also tried to be extra edgy, over and over and over again. Uh, we need to break the fourth wall with the condescending main character acting. Trying to force the player to release a review, and if you are fed up with that childish crap and decline "her orders", they will just close the game. Such fun, much laughs. It just doesn't end there, as the same phrases and dialogues get shown again, and again, and again. There is not even enough to avoid duplicates for like 3 runs, so just like the game itself, it gets old pretty fast.
They even felt like this behavior was so amazing and brilliant that they needed to promote this in a gamedev reddit trying to advertise the game. They just deleted the post and the account shortly after, as they got informed that such behavior is acting against steams terms of use which they had to accept.
So, can I recommend the game? Not really. Basically no content for more than 1 to 2 hours. After that, you will basically be unable to fail a run and only try to complete challenges which will offer you nothing in return. Maybe it's a bonus for you, if you want to get "humiliated" (not really like that, so i probably could even recommend it if you are into such things), but overall there's nothing more than interesting ideas. Maybe if they stop acting like a teenager in the 00s and put their energy into some actual content - but it will be a lot of work. Until that happens I would not recommend the game.

Once you get just a few upgrades the game becomes completely mindless and boring, like one of the auto-clicker/Idle-clicker games. You just automatically rez the minions and become, pretty much unkillable. There is no strategy at all. You can just walk in circles with no thought about anything.
Voice acting is nice. And the art is decent.
