TLDR: This game is by far the best and most fun in the genre in my opinion. A solid 9/10 in the genre, and worth the purchase on full price, and definitely so on a sale. Pros: - The embarkation/destination mechanics with tarot cards and various items have amazing interactions that can make a run so absolutely ridicilous that you don't even care about the combat part of the game and just have fun. - Coop is amazing, but if you have ping/host is quite far from where you live, be prepared to make a build tanky enough to live, because you wont be dodging anything. A huge props to them for allowing to quit a coop run midway and just continue later whenever you want! - Art and music is awesome, special effects on some of the weapons/attacks genuinely make you go "holy sh*t" when you use them for the first time, especially when you buff them with various interactions. - Even though there are a bunch of difficulty levels in the game, it is suprisingly also opening you for much cooler interactions during your runs, which is also a half con because this causes the runs on higher difficulties to be actually easier on the later chapters, but the first one or two chapters might just become terrifying. Cons: - Honestly, there isn't much of cons in this game on my books. I played the game from start to finish with my friend, most of the issues we had were slight desyncs but nothing that was causing us have bad time. - While you can do a lot of different builds, after you try out various builds you realise: There really isn't much of a reason to use dual element relics, and acid and electric are by far the worst performing elements while physical puts an immense gap compared to all others. Our best attempts on acid and lightning builds were meh at best, while a well built physical build can just one shot each phase of the last boss in the hardest difficulty.
The game is pretty fun, but the balancing seems to be all over the place. It’s a solid game to just jump into and kill time, especially when playing with friends. But it definitely needs a ton of work when it comes to item balance and drop rates. Right now, a few completely broken items like Heart of Termination or Mask of Slaughter make the game way too easy, even on the hardest difficulty. On top of that, half the gun roster feels way too weak to even bother touching. Then you have the actually good, overpowered weapons unlocked later that are practically impossible to find. I beat the hardest difficulty about 20 times and literally only saw ONE Dominator gun the entire time. Even with all those issues, it’s still enjoyable enough to mess around with, but the devs really need to fix the weapon tuning and fix those absurd drop rates.
This game is a mixed bag for me. While I love theorycrafting and finding great synergies in roguelike games... this game has way too many of them. Most of the ways to break the game involves using effects that loop into themselves, for example you have keywords to effect such as "embarkation" which triggers when you enter a room, and "destination" that triggers when you end combat in a room. There are effects that give you stats based on one of those conditions, but also effects that makes "embarkation" trigger "destination", or items that trigger keywords when you cast a spell, but then there's another item that makes you gain spell cast bar based on stats, which due to the looping nature of stat gain based on keywords mean you can sit in a room and suddenly gain 1000% bonus damage. Then you have effects that happen when you break items, such as stat gain on item break. But there are effects that makes breaking items happen twice or chance to not consume the item, but then you have items that give you items once you break them creating some stupid loops. So overall score from me on this game is... a 6.5/10? The gameplay itself can be quite fun in the start when you're exploring game mechanics, but due to the ease of game breaking builds, I honestly have never seen the attack patterns of the last 3 bosses because it's very hard to not one shot them once you setup one of those loops. I found myself spending more time doing loop shenanigans and breaking the item system than actually fighting. I recommend this game for people who just want to go in and not think too much about it, because it will likely be much more enjoyable that way than whatever the heck I'm doing dealing over a billion dmg a shot.
