This game has less content than my non-existant OnlyFans. All of the spells are copies of Soulstone Survivor skills, but with less ways to build them. Game def needs time to cook.

All in all, this game is not balanced for solo play. Once you get far enough the waves will always spawn in a circle around you getting thicker and thicker while you will notice the damage you do to them gets to be less over time. This creates in longer games or on harder difficulties a situation where you have to use one of your 3 lives to get out of that circle. For it to happen all over again. Multiplayer, this game can shine, but if you are playing single player at all this game will be a disappointment and you will find yourself wishing you had booted up V.S. or had bought that instead. The graphics are stunning and it really is a lovely game, it's just honestly not an enjoyable single player experience. If it ever is I will update my review but she's a polished turd for solo players.

Probably the most disappointing survivorslikes of all I have tried. Very limited meta-upgrades, slow gameplay, and too small differences beween characters (single skill and very minor stat boost). Each match feels the same.

The game is DEATHLY afraid to make the players too - or even a little bit - strong. 99% of level up upgrades do next to nothing, weapons feel like you are throwing wet paper towels at enemies. I have not gotten a single round in which I felt strong or powerful, even the ones I won I did so by running away from the boss until it died. The entire gameplay loop is to run away because you do next to no damage. Not fun imo

Very fun. Matchmaking system could get some more optimization, some spell do feel less performing over others on higher difficulty but overall a really solid game. Also that feeling of agony when your friend with 2 Luck get Legendary upgrade every 1-2 levels while you with 32 Luck get just Rare for the next 10 levels. Math not mathing.

I can't recommend it anymore. I've been playing the game more or less since the beginning, and every time a major update comes out, I play for several hours. I have to say, the difficulty level is getting more and more frustrating. Since the last major patch, it's so easy to get surrounded by enemies that you can't avoid them anymore. It's not difficult, it's not skill-based... it's just unfair. Honestly, what am I supposed to do when the enemy line is so ridiculously high that you can't find a gap between them? My only option: luck at dodging... oh well... I'm sorry, but in this state, I can't recommend it anymore. I play and want to play the game in hardcore mode, but not when it's fundamentally unfair...

First off just want to say I'm enjoying the game very much. Been blasting with some friends and it's making for a ton of memories. But there 1 thing in particular that just annoys the crap out of me so much that I'm making my first ever review on steam. MAKE MOBS AGGRO WHEN THEY SPAWN. Nothing like getting into a hardcore game and having a nice train going on and you get forced into a corner and then trapped because the new mobs are just collecting in a corner and you weren't in range to aggro because you were on the other side of the map. It's probably the worst thing about the game in my opinion. It will quite literally end your run instantly. Not sure if it's an intended mechanic or not but please do something about it.

1. The new enemy spawn algorithms are frustrating. Mobs now appear from all directions with unpredictable patterns, making dodging almost impossible. It’s not challenging—it’s cheap. 2. Missions on ice, especially ones involving the energy core, feel broken. The ice has no negative effect on mobs, unlike other environments. It’s just punishing for the player, with no balance. 3. Enemy HP has been increased, and player damage reduced, making even early rounds of Endless Mode feel like a grind. Instead of fun combat, it’s now just a slog with little payoff. What was once a satisfying hack-and-slash experience now feels slow, clunky, and frustrating. I hope the developers listen to feedback, because right now, it’s not fun anymore. 这个游戏以前的爽快感完全没有了,最近的改动真的让人失望。 1. 怪物刷新机制大改,敌人现在会从四面八方同时出现,根本没有反应时间,闪避几乎不可能。难度提升不是靠设计,而是靠恶心人。 2. 冰面任务尤其是护送能量核心,几乎做不完。更离谱的是,冰面对怪物完全没有任何负面影响,只有玩家滑得跟陀螺一样,严重失衡。 3. 怪物血量大幅增加,玩家输出却被砍了,连无尽模式的第一轮都变成折磨,根本不像一个爽快的割草游戏。 现在的体验:不爽、不流畅、不好玩。 希望开发者认真听取玩家反馈,否则这游戏只会越来越糟。

- Game is fun but becomes repetitive as you progress. - Character traits become futile as passive skills such as AoE and cast speed are easily stackable. - Waves are too slow: it can take about 5 hours to reach infinity 8, which is insane to do unless you are hunting for achievements. - There is only one boss at the end of a wave no matter the difficulty or map you choose. - You can't pause the game in multiplayer mode. I wish it was possible when playing with friends on Steam (some times I may need to use the toilet or answer the door). - I would add the concept of item drops. You could hunt for them looking for specific stats or something. The game can be improved in many ways and I hope the devs add some serious changes and address the slowness of waves.

I've been playing this game since early releases and I see that each new update makes it next to impossible to play the game in solo mode at the hardest difficulties. They changed the way monsters spawn on the map, so now they always surround, and no mater which direction you choose, and no mater what movement speed you have, there's no realistic way to escape the mobs as it used to be possible. The game mechanic gets more broken with time and I don't really like the direction of it.
