Clearly, I like the game. I have almost a thousand hours in the demo.
I even bought the supporter pack.

On April 13th, this was an absolute buy at 933 hours in the demo alone.

On April 14th with the "huge demo update" the game is an iffy for me.
All the art looks worse. They added jerky animations that feel awful to look at.
Drastically changed meta, how items work, what items look like.
I'm not excited


Editing again now at 971 hours on the 26th. I guess I don't hate the changes, but with the promise of the old school mode on release, I have adjusted back to a positive recommendation.

40 hours in. The controls are janky. The story is really boring. The gameplay is a mishmash of every other fantasy + open world sandbox + collectathon + third person pve game crammed together.
The combat is so close to feeling like the Rocksteady Batman games / Shadow of Mordor games but falls quite a bit short of hitting that kind of mindless playability.
Looting, and talking all require a 1.5s button hold. Why? Who the hell play tested this?
Targeting loot on the ground is a pain of constantly sliding your camera around to spot the couple pixels lost in flowers or grass. Mix that with the fact that said grass is usually full of weird bugs and lizards that you can loot for alchemy. Trying to pick up that sword might mean a couple long button holds in which you end up with a hand full of bugs, a couple flowers and an arrow, but still no sword. A 'press key to highlight loot' or loot all would be amazing.
Mobility features are seriously and pointlessly hampered. This game could really use faster 'glide' with the ability to mid air boost. The 'grapple' has awful range, and its ability to pull yourself up for additional air is really weak since it knocks you out of glide and you lose height in the process of restarting glide most times.
Still worth the couple bucks. Here's hoping the modders or devs improve it.

I've played my fair share of TFT, underlords, and even autochess.
I love super auto pets. I even like the autobattle inventory management in Backpack Battles.
This is my favorite autobattler so far, but I feel like I've power gamed my way through most of the content already at around 20 hours. I've unlocked everything there is, and have won 5 back to back runs.
With all that said, I am still feeling compelled to chase some of the more obscure achievements.

big number, big happy

There are definitely better, cheaper, and more fun options in this genre- but for 8 bucks? whatever
