Extremely fun, can't wait for the full release.

This is one of those games that scratches that DRG/Risk of Rain type of itch.

It's like overwatch, but fun. Pretty excited for a lot of the upcoming characters, hopefully they continue to keep this game heading in the direction of fun rather than a balancing nightmare like overwatch.

I almost didn't buy this game because of all the negative reviews talking about how the game is "way too hard" I thought maybe the game was just gonna be an unbalanced mess of bullsh*t.

As it turns out, all of those people literally just have a massive skill issue, after about 30 hours I can say that fairly confidently. You don't die in this game unless YOU make a mistake, if YOU f*ck up THAT'S when you die. I've never felt like a death I've had wasn't my own fault, sure you may die because you don't know something at first, but that's part of the learning process.

Even if you do die a decent amount, its really not that big a deal, you can always get more stuff. Plus if you REALLY have an issue with the difficulty...just play on easy or custom and make your own rules.

The combat is immensely satisfying, it feels very tactical where just a few choices can either win you the fight or completely f*ck you over if you're being too reckless. I also love the action point system and how you actually need to think about what you're doing and when, pro tip: Use the run mode a LOT when face checking or fighting multiple enemies, it does lower your accuracy but being able to move twice and shoot or shoot twice and move is a huge boon. Don't sleep on it.

The weapon sounds and music are both fantastic, the main menu music brought me back to how I felt when I launched Hades for the first time. The person who makes the music apparently also makes all the sounds for everything in the game including the weapons, which explains why everything just sounds SO good. Big props to that guy.

Reading the lore of the game is very interesting and I personally love the grimdark Warhammer 40k vibes it gives me where pretty much every faction is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and horrible in their own special way, there are no hero's out here. Least of all us.

This is an extremely fun game that feeds my loot goblin soul with sustenance and I'd highly recommend it, as even in early access its a great game. I have only a few real criticisms of the game.

#1 The inventory is WAY too freakin small in vanilla, it needs to be doubled in my opinion, luckily there's a mod to do just that.

To give an example of why, a small dinky pistol that shoots what are essentially .22 bullets takes up the same inventory space as a *MINIGUN* enough said really. Get the double backpack space mod, trust me it makes the game WAY more enjoyable.

#2 The barter system is absolute trash (they have said they're gonna work on it but I'm talking current version as of this review) none of the factions ever sell you their faction exclusive items even when you unlock them in their tech tree. They pretty much just sell useless trash 90% of the time.

Also trying to trade anything to the stations is a huge pain because they usually aren't accepting anything you actually have, so the way you end up trading for things is just doing missions and getting currency instead. So its more like buying something from amazon rather than "trading"

#3 The difficulty skulls are literally useless, they don't actually give you a good estimate of how hard a mission is going to be. To save you some sanity in the future, pay attention to the factions tech level and the power concentration and if going up against Tez forget the difficulty stuff entirely, always go in there expecting the worst, load up on ammo/meds and start blasting inter-dimensional alien cheeks.

These are easily fixable issues that I hope get addressed by the time the game fully releases, that's about all I have to say for big stand out critiques.

TLDR: I 100% recommend this game if you love loot, turn based games, badass music and challenging but fair gameplay. It's a bit of a slow burn similar to Darkest Dungeon, so if you like those types of games, you'll likely enjoy this. I can personally see this becoming one of my favorite games if they keep improving on what's already here.

Welcome to Darkest Dungeon if it was sci-fi and also bad.

This is one of those games that if it was designed correctly, could have been really good. However it was not.

The difficulty in this game doesn't actually come from the tactical decisions you make or any form of strategy, which there is very little of in this game in reality, you just place your guys in the right spots and roll the dice on if you win or not.

And that's probably my main issue with the game, your choices have very little actual impact on if you win or not, its literally just dependent on luck. That's the main game mechanic in this game, luck.

Meanwhile in Darkest Dungeon 1, no matter how unlucky you get, you can always come back with good team building strategies and good play. This game has none of that, its just a gacha game disguised as a strategy game.

On top of that the gear and character variety in builds seem very lacking, until you get much further into the game, all the characters pretty much play the same way. Which gets a little boring.

Somehow the game is actually good AND I get to look at a phat goblin girl dumpy while I play, the best of both worlds. 11/10

Update: Why is my review of what is essentially furry diablo on crack my "most helpful" review.

This is some bullshi-

It's been 60 hours and I'm still in act 1. Love it.

Really fun game, the dialog/story isn't always the best thing ever, but the gameplay itself is very good. Also the soundtrack bangs.

I'm sure you've heard of shooting yourself in the foot.

They took a double barrel shotgun and blew both their feet off into the sunset.

Looks like Multiversus is blasting off again!

The game is great, the lead developer however, is quite the douche. The other dev Cockatrice on the other hand seems like a good guy. Make of that what you will.

I personally cannot recommend the game in good faith knowing that it would support such a right prick.

Nice.
