Good game, great mechanics. But I think I need the Solo-Mode back. feels utterly wrong to play a BR with randos. And a Team-Mode does not really fit the original Black Survival vibe.

Still recommend it tho.

Great Autobattler with deep strategy and a lot of space for epic comebacks. Even though it is in early access, it feels like a finished product.

I would like to see a more polished ui and a few QOL changes. (i.e. an option for keeping the ui in place instead of sliding away during battle, a damage-chart for all of your units and maybe an alternative controlscheme where you drag and drop instead of clicking to place/ move units) Anyway, this game runs smooth, matchmaking works and most importantly it is a lot of fun.

If you like Autobattlers or Mechs or even both, give it a try!

It is good. Just buy it.

Played the Original "The Cycle" and the beta of this one. Just downloaded the release to see if they made changes to the gameplay. They did not. I liked the concept of the original more, as the current concept just devolves into a camping competition. The focus in the original was fast movement and efficient objective-clearing. I liked the old one better. This release just feels like an empty version of the original. Everything that made it great (except for the worlddesign) was changed in a way that does not feel like an improvement at all.

Yeah well. I tried It for a few hours and might try it again later on, but for now i don't really like it.

Pros:
+ Looks good
+ Movement and Shooting feels smooth
+ Refreshing concept
+ Different Modes (1v1, 2v2 / Turnbased, Real Time)

Cons:
- Turn-Based Mode just seems to be about the last loop, which makes everything before insignificant (Game is marketed as Turn-Based, I think the description should at least mention the Real-Time mode which is way more playable)
- Wants to be a competitive game but has Progress-locked weapon skins that alter their attributes. I just don't like the idea of some players not being able to use all weapon-variants because they did not play that long.
- gameplay is heavily punishing: You can concede most matches after making one mistake, or just hope your enemy makes a mistake on their own. This makes playing the game feel demotivating for me.

As mentioned above, it is not bad in general, but not my cup of tea in it's current state. I might check back later and change my review accordingly.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that it crashed one time in my 2.5 hours of playtime.

Not my cup of tea. Looks good and runs well, but the design makes it feel like a trial and error puzzle game while I expected a speedrunning game. Movement feels sluggish, which is not what a would want to have in a platformer.

Really liked this one. Can't add much to the other reviews. Just play it!

Game looks and feels like a cheap port of a mobile game. First impression ist not good as i encountered muddy character models, a weird choice of font type, unremappable keybinds (Keyboard only controls), mobilegame-like upgrade system for characters.

The Idea behind the game looked fun and I am looking forward to fresh concepts, but you guys need to put in a lot of work if you charge people money for such a low quality release.

Cant say much about the multiplayer part as no one was online to play.

Secret word: Solace

Recommended. Slightly longer then the first two parts.

Secret Word: Accomplish

As good as the first part. The font is quite hard to read though.
