I've put in 25 hours and I think my interest just plummeted to 0
There's a lot that this game needs to work on, Its early access so its to be expected, but a few of them are driving me not to want to play right now and my biggest issue is probably one that wont change at all just based on the nature of the game.
A handful of things irk me like constantly having to back track to kill towers that are buffing the enemies instead of them being placed ahead, lack of visual clarity when there are a bunch of enemies around and I cant see what the captains are doing, and a bunch of little things like that but that's whatever.
The biggest thing for me is that unlike what a rouge like is supposed to do, every single run feels the same. I am always parrying the same attacks, doing the same combos, killing the same captains in the same way, its just the buffs I pick change what color the damage is when it comes out. This is the same issue I have with risk of rain 2, no matter what you are going to play the same way every time.
I also feel like the game doesn't even give you time to attempt to get strong in the fun ways. I can get the same clan boons a few times and I start leaning into the damage type and I would like to upgrade my boons so I can start seeing the cool big attacks, but then not get offered the clan emblem or if I do get it I don't get any of the upgrades or synergistic boons and that will continue for a whole act and I just feel lame and boring.
So for now I think I have to call it quits on the game. I'm sure I'll come back at some point after some big updates but I cant imagine staying long :(
