- Very linear progression.
- No classes or variation in builds.
- Minion spam on bosses.
- PvP Meta is very fixed.
- Raid defence comes down to building more walls and stairs.

It seems like lots of this game is tuned for it to be PvP. Items having a no teleportation tag by default gives the impression that you are supposed to have some kind of risk bring materials home. In reality, you will almost never fight over materials (outside of rift incursions) and killing lower levels players is often seen disrespectful.

It just seems like a really great PvE game was ruined by focusing so heavily on PvP.

I could see so much potential with things like needing to defend your base in PvE, expanding the defensive aspect of building. Rather than just walls and stairs...
It would make it more interesting to build up your servants and specifically pick strong ones for defensive combos.

Having more defined classes would make co-op a lot more interesting, rather than just build whatever and hit the boss.

Its also quite hard to want to replay this game. Its not like you are going to try some crazy different build, or get a rare drop you didn't see last time.

There are definitely a lot of things this game does right. But for everything good, there is something equally bad if not worse due to some PvP focus.

I was waiting for endless mode to come out as promised. I can say the really delivered. Even in its early state, it is much more fun to just endlessly augment the abilities after finishing challenges. I hope to see more focus on the endless mode going forward as its so fun!

The game collaborated with a gatcha game and somehow made a worse, more expensive gatcha system for less content.

The previous system had a 100% change of a random commander.
This system has a 32% change for a random commander.
It also now has an 8% change to get pretty much nothing.

Worse and worse every year...

I 100% this game for a reason. Its amazing!

Don't look at explosions 5 hours into a run O_O

I love how this game gives me a view into how friends and people around you can be affected.
