I played 9th Dawn III before this one. What can I say? Just a few hours in and this is already a massive upgrade on all fronts. Co-op is fun, less grind overall, a lot more QoL and gameplay features. GOTY IMO. Although Hard difficulty could use a little bit of a re-balance. Monsters are sponges. UPD: After almost 30 hours there is a little bit to add. 1) Game is not polished like release version should be, there are still minor bugs, inconveniences, missing QoL features. 2) Card game is a banger for what its worth. Not much changes with progress through dungeons, but it is fun and enjoyable time at least in co-op. Could use some more difficulty, right now you could almost play blindfolded and win 3) Fishing Survivors is bad. Absolutely nothing changes, it's the same experience every time you launch it. There is one good thing about it - doesn't take too much time to clear a level. 4) Dungeons are good, but sometimes too frustrating because you gotta find the map. Some dungeons give you the map right off the bat, but others give 4-way crossroad, and you have no idea where the map is. There were times where we cleared 100% of the dungeon and then found the map. It doesn't completely ruin the experience, but it's still disappointing. 5) Filling journal entries became much easier compared to 9th dawn 3. 6) Money is worthless. Even before midgame you get so much money you can't even spend it until the end of the game. And if you think you could use some more - hop in Fishing Survivors a.k.a silver farming simulator. Overall I enjoy the game very much, there is a lot to discover and do, but man, don't abandon your game in the state like this. It's fully playable but could really use some polish and re-balancing.

Its a hack and slash, dungeon crawler with a lot of loot, some mini games and a cool story. The game plays great on Steam Deck and the developer is highly active and adding new features.

My first exposure to the 9th Dawn franchise and it is some of the most fun games I've played with a whole host of mini games and gameplay depth. It even has a 2 player coop. I'm not sure if the solo dev is getting enough sleep but 30 updates in 5 days? You've earned my respect.

Ok, where do I start... First time 9th Dawn player, the idea of 9th Dawn III always interest me but I never bought that game to try. Heard a remake was in the works so I wishlisted it and it finally released yesterday. Had a short play session on a steam deck and here are my thoughts: Pros: - ARPG style open world game that reminds me of skyrim - Very deep and complex systems to keep things going - Art style is gerat - Very active dev that engages with the community (and listens to feedback) - You can catch pets and breed them - Have default settings or randomized settings in several areas to give some sort of replayability. Neutral: - Mini games are short clones of other genres, for example, fishing is a survivor-like, card game is slay the spire rouge-like. - Animation is a downgrade from 9th Dawn III. Not sure if that's a tribute to the original 9th dawn or not, but in this game your character "hops" instead of having walking/running animation in 9th Dawn III (which I prefer) - Game runs smoothly on steamdeck (I am using the old verion, not OLED), but it crashed at my 90th minute (had to hard reboot the whole steam deck). Drained 33% of battery in 90 mins so quite good there too. Cons: - Extremely grindy. Like elder scroll games, you level up skills by using them. It can require alot of time and/or materials and can be quite mundane. - Mini-games are too long and grindy too. Right after finishing the tutorial level, I am baited into trying the card game, with some townsfolk offering me a prize if I managed to beat it. Expecting a 5-10 minute detour. Turns out it's a slay-the-spire experience and took me 30 mins, just to lose at the end of floor 3. The rules are also not clear, the icons are not explained too. For some reason I prepare shields equal to the number attack the enemies are going to do, and they always end up going through it and causing more damage anyways... Not sure why. For the survivor like fishing game, you can only gain 6 levels, and have to finish off a boss. You don't do enough attack and the hitboxes are weird, couldn't even beat the 2nd level. I can forsee the need to grind the first level until I level up my mini-game characters so I can just beat lvl 2, and there are like 30 levels. The rewards are quite generous though. But I am just at the start of the game so I am not sure how this scales in the long term. - Not enough information on stuff. There are basic description for skills and attributes, but like the mini-games there are some minor stuff that always lack info or description, no tutorials after the first cave. Took a few tries to bind a skill, but don't know how to unbind one (maybe I can't, and can only replace it with another skill). My pet died and I don't even know how to revive them. Not sure whether there is penalty for my character dying. Small things like that, not game breaking, but annoying to figure out. - The hitboxes are a bit weird? Most of the time I don't know how I got hit, this happens in the mini-game or in the main game. I think many monsters fire projectiles as well but they are not easy to see. Might be my own skill issue. All in all I think this game is fun and you can see and feel the passion the creator put into it. Just look at the game bug fixes from the 1st/2nd day. Solely because of this I can give a thumbs up to this game. I hope this game continues to improve and if possible maybe give more customization options when a user create a new game so they can choose how grindy they want and tailor their own experience.

I went into this not knowing what 9th Dawn is at all, but did do a little research to find out it’s a long running series with a bunch of fans. I can confidently say so far that I can see why. 9th Dawn Remake has beautiful pixel art visuals and the main game is a dungeon crawler looter that plays a lot like Diablo but also includes creature collecting/taming elements where you hatch eggs for pets that fight alongside you and evolve over time. You can choose to do traditional top down third person, or the new first person mode which makes the game feel even bigger in scope due to perspective, and that’s not to say this is a tiny game either. I’ve noticed people in the past entries have put in 80-200 hours and I’m sure this game is no different as I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface. 9th Dawn Remake also includes two other full games within itself, a Slay the Spire like deck building roguelike, and a vampire survivors clone that has its own unique twists. I’ve already found myself to be hooked on both and will definitely be spending a lot of time within them. If you want a well crafted game that I can tell a lot of love has gone into, and bang for your buck, then grab 9th Dawn Remake. I have a feeling you won’t be disappointed. Side note: so far my play time has been on steam deck and the game runs beautifully out of the box, steady 60fps so far with no issues
