Some feedbacks about 6.26 update 1. The difficulty of Eternal Bond Covenant has increased too fast, the first round is too easy, and the next round the monster HP has increased by almost three times, so that Exploding Tick's self-destruct can't kill another Exploding Tick, which could have triggered a series of explosions to clear out a large number of monsters. The inability to do so makes the game much more difficult, especially for Wizards that don't have high enough DPS (such as Aldric). 2. Aether Beam's damage is still too low, and Aldric has a very hard time getting past the second round of boss fights (solo, Eternal Bond, Solitary Focus) in Hardcore mode. Part of the reason for this is that the speed bonus of the bosses rises too quickly and the Aldric damage is too low, and not being able to kill the bosses in time causes the Exploding Tick to go up almost as fast as the experience orb. (Yes, I used a +40% speed bonus, and it still blew up in my face). 3. Nerfing Vital Strike seems like the right thing to do, but it's not, especially when there's a severe lack of other means of HP recovery. Aside from Vital Strike, all other HP regen in the game is practically useless, especially on Hardcore difficulty when there is a lack of HP bottles. It is highly recommended that other HP restoring relics be enhanced. 4. Prioritising attacks on enemies with the highest HP will often result in nearby enemies not being attacked, which can have negative consequences. It will also prevent Aldric from healing his teammates.

Its good game, but two reasons for negative review: 1. Game tells me to play controller, when it works with mouse? Why? Let me choose. 2. Controller constatly vibrates, cannot be turned off in-game. Again. Why. Fix these, will change to positive.

this game is really fun! I wish that there was an option for the player to attack instead of auto aim in the future like clicking on a minion and attacking, of course there should be less minions. I think it would be a good other option. Also having more spells and maybe an archer class with magic arrows or even a dragon rider who can only upgrade that class would be cool.

I don't do many reviews, but this one is warranted because before I bought the game I saw quite a few reviews saying that enemy spawning was an issue and it ended up putting me off from buying it before. After having played a solid 20 hours and going through all challenge levels with one character, I can say that the game is actually very well balanced. Both spawning and path-finding is very well done. Also, environmental effects are quite good, and only the lava needs to be fixed as many objectives spawn on top of it, forcing you to take damage to complete missions. This game is really quite well designed and implemented, and with more content it will be a top level game within the genre. I think this is the first game that will be comparably fun to Vampire Survivors and with enough content might even surpass it. I am definitely looking forward to new bosses, environments, monsters and characters. I could not recommend this game more.

The unlock system will add items to the game that will irreversibly ruin it that only become viewable after spending 2 hours or more on the game. This is borderline false advertisement at best, exploiting the refund system to provide players with a false impression of the game. I was banned from the community hub for suggesting they remove these unlocks. Developers with a mentality like this do not deserve support.

Compared to other survivor games it feels like what you get for the price is limited at the moment. It also doesn't help that the spells are horribly balanced and the majority feel awful as the game goes on. There are also relics to pick up in the game....and again the majority are awful. I got 25 hours out of this purchase so it could have been worse but again at the moment there's a lot of work to be done here.

[h1]Get this if you really want an online co-op Vampire Survivors-type game, otherwise WAIT[/h1] This is a decent Survivors style game whose main selling point is that it has online co-op. If you've been wanting to play one of these games with friends then it's worth getting, otherwise play [URL=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2420510/HoloCure__Save_the_Fans/]some better Survivors game that's free[/url] instead because the game's in Early Access and there are still some EXTREME rough edges that will get you killed unfairly such as the swarms of enemies that race in from off-screen with no warning. And some flaws (like the ugly enemies) will never be fixed.

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.

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。
