Sept. 2024
Dipped my toes into this style of game with this one. I've enjoyed my time with the game for whatever shorter amount of time I actually spent (definitely more than 2 hours.. but less than 10). Got the game on sale and I'd say there are some things that could be improved or expanded. But for a trial run for other games of similar style, it was a good intro. Controls are simple. Movement with select an upgrade at level up. Could easily be a one handed game. Town hub for other unlocks after runs. I'd keep playing but I maxed out the things to buy so resources are pointless now. An expanded, greater upgrade tree could get me to keep going and I'd love to see another 2 or so levels with the 5 different, objectives that pull different monsters. I'd almost say some of the modes have background incentives to not give you certain drops. Maybe the recent sale will spur the creator to expand or release a bigger sequel? I'll be recommending this to anyone who wants a taste taste before exploring other games of the genre.
