I was really excited for ACT 3. However the game feels more like a chore rather than killing wave of enemies fun. A few points. 1. Leveling up feels bad now. When the game gets harder you need to have better choices to get further. However, now you put in an option to get more blessings from a god, that just strait up takes away a level up choice. Feels bad. 2. The fates are there to nerf you now. Why would I want to give up a WHOLE ability to bump up another by just a little bit?! I have to use my fate changing abilities more often and hope RNG does not kill my run 10 minutes in. 3. ACT 3 is too cluttered. I liked the maps more clear. Or the trees you are next to need to go invisible faster. Not sure what the solution is. 4. I don't know why I am dying anymore. I just start losing life when some enemies are around... That can be counter acted with info on how you die at the death screen. But mostly that's an issue with the game not communicating to the player well enough what is killing you. - Although, maybe you do have graphics that are showing the attack, but I cant see it because of the 100 other effects that are happening, or the 10 trees in front of my character. 5. Adding more random curses to the map locations does not make your game fun. It does the opposite. 6. ACT 1 has the libraries for the lore of the game still there but offer nothing after you get all of the lore the first time. Get rid of them or have them give a minor buff like exp. 7. What advantage does getting defense get you in this game? From all I have seen you want to stay away from enemies and kill as fast as possible. If you build a melee character you are killing slower and leveling slower, therefore at a HUGE disadvantage. -> You kill slow, you don't level fast. -> you are under leveled, so you are weak. -> you are weak, so you kill slow... 8. Summon charms.... some of us don't like to read the patch notes about what was added for a game, just fixes. So that when I play I get to experience these things fresh. As I was writing this I read the patch notes and found that summons can be charmed.... BRO. I don't even like summons and that explains 4 of my last deaths in act 3. WHY WOULD I LOOK AT MY OWN SUMMONS ATTACKING ME WHEN THERE ARE 50 OTHER ENEMIES ON THE SCREEN WITH FIRE, ICE, ROCKS AND MY ATTACK BOUNCING 8 TIMES. Give the player some info! - How am I supposed to know that was added within the context of the game? What happens when the summon is charmed? A sound? An on screen effect? (Not that I could see it) It almost felt like the game was tested by people who knew what the changes were internally and could adjust their game play from there, but not by people who play the game in a vacuum. This update felt like a step back from the fun. /rant Finally, I want to say I like this game. It's worth 7USD and I am happy with my play time. (For the most part) I think you all are trying very hard. You can see the love of the game and your development of it each update. I am only writing this much because I love the game you have created and I am invested in it. Thank you, and I cant wait for the next few smaller updates, and the next big one!

Combat loop of Vampire Survivors. Upgrade/Meta progression of Hades. Looting/Item management of Path Of Exile. If any of these aspects even remotely peaks your interest then you better slam dunk this bad boy into your library ASAP, cause this shit is straight fire.

A perfect combination of "Hades" and "Vampire Survivors." Good variety of characters that suit different play styles, so everyone can find their favorite. Scratches that perfect power creep itch that Hades and V.S. does so well. If you're a fan of the genre, this could very well be the next great entry.

All-in-all, simplicity is king. This game doesn't try to do too much yet stands out amongst the crowd of roguelikes. The RPG elements (i.e armors, rings, etc) add nice variety. I personally like this better than Hades 2. I recommended and gifted it to a lot of friends, they all love it too. This is a game I'll be coming back to over the years and probably keep installed in perpetuity. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☑ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☑ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☑ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☑ 9 ☐ 10
