Last Epoch Reviews

Well boys, seems like everything good comes with a bag load of shit with it. EHG, the devs, have just announced that they have been acquired by Krafron, a South Korean mobile game provider infamous from fucking over every studio they acquire like Bluehole (TERA) and Unknown Worlds (Subnautica) either by firing lead studio managers or denying budget. I'd wager the same isn't far away in EHGs case. This is the beginning of the end lads.

Krafton Acquisition = Uninstall. Time to forget this game ever existed. The Irony of 'Harbingers of Ruin' and 'Tombs of the Erased' scrolling by as I type this is just too much. How fitting for names.

The players helped make this game possible. A great passion project fans like me were willing to support. Selling out and betraying your fan base when you could have just continued to work hard and make the game the best it could be like GGG has done to make PoE1 what it is today and profit from a passionate fan base. Do not buy. Do not support EHG anymore.

Before KRAFTON game would have been Pretty Positive even a POE contender. LOVED supporting an indie dev and although the game had some jank it was still quite fun and spells were amazing. LOVE the item system and the customization although does need a more variety of uniques.... NOW NEGATIVE cause F KRAFTON and what it is doing to the future of games... I understand the CEOS of 11th hr game want their money and selling out is AMAZING financially for them and removes all risk of loss from this point, BUT i REFUSE to support a company like KRAFTON after what they have done to the subnautica 2 creators and to the gaming industry as a whole... DONT get me wrong I will continue to play Last Epoch but they will never see another cent from me! "Do you recommend this game?" I DID but now NO DONT give your money to Krafton

Game is fun, Matter of Fact this game is my favorite ARPG. I will no longer be playing this game any more. Eleventh Hour Games was bought by Krafton recently. Thanks to this I will not be supporting this game anymore because I refuse to support Krafton in any way. If I could somehow get a refund I would but I know I can't. If you don't know why I refuse to support Krafton, just do a quick google search of Krafton and you will learn pretty quick why i won't. I hope it was worth it.

You got ALL the support you needed, from fulfilled kickstarter, through 1 milion game copies sold on premiere, to all supporter packs/mtx's/deluxe editions etc., and after all that, after somewhere 1.5 year after 1.0 launch(after 2 seasons!), you sold the company to KRAFTON Shame EHG, shame - you are the reason people stop trusting indie devs. --- The upcoming season seems interesting but feels more like the first one, except now its some beasts instead harbringers, The one after might be still good, will see, but KRAFTON is on negative $ balance right now after purchase and definetely will want to start making profit ASAP - They may be focused on bringing new players ... or milking the existing ones

let me quick sell the company for $96m everyone supported unconditionally over the years and destroy everyones trust to indie devs and small companies after raising $255,378 in kickstarter, with potential additional earn‑outs: Up to $60 million USD through 2033. 3+million people who bought the game and many more who supported in other ways were just part of an "EXIT PLAN"

It was a good run, starting to feel great, but now that Krafton has acquired EHG, well.. I am skeptical enough to try and discourage you from getting this game

I'm seeing a lot of bad reviews due to the dev studio partnering with Krafton, but I think it's fair to judge the game by the game itself, not what the developers are doing with their company. It's a solid 9/10 right now, might change in case they introduce any bad things to the game.

TLDR: Play before this gets ruined. EHG, the developers of Last Epoch, has just been fully acquired by Krafton—the company behind the recent Subnautica 2 drama. Krafton has a track record of pushing heavy monetization and everything that comes with it. While the quality of the game will likely improve for a while, it's almost a forgone conclusion that it will eventually push heavy monetization and FOMO tactics, simply by virtue of being a subsidiary of a publicly traded company with a reputation for this kind of behavior. Although I trust the developers not to do this, they have sold 100% of their control.
