Review after 20 hours of game play: I loved DW back in the day on consoles and I found the releases recently just felt off , that isn't the case for DW:Origins, I'm really enjoying it so far its not just a return to form its a massive improvement, I love the direction they have taken it with the map, the hero, the story , the weapon-play, pretty much everything.
Yes it is expensive, but its absolutely worth it if you enjoyed dynasty warriors at any point in your life.

Hades 1 was THE roguelike to beat, this definitely holds up, my one and only gripe is having to choose which material farming instrument to bring each run, editing for steam awards, vote for this game!

not too bad

best fun to be had with salty friends

preferred the look of DD2, Then i see Tim Swineys been at it with his bribes again. F*** Epic

unable to play as logitech g930 headset (seems a common problem if you want to play with headphones) only plays sound in cutscenes and you get no sound in game. i have a very high end pc and no matter if i have it on the lowest or highest settings the frame rate is choppy

Firstly, the game is good but a few things have just irked me from the get go. The fact that when you level you cant put any upgrade points into tower stats is a massive fail, it is necessary to reinstate this to be able to even have the smallest chance on higher difficulties. The fact is to improve your towers you are completelly reliant on equpment drops (which are rare as ♥♥♥♥)
The lack of controller support is annoying for now but i understand that this will be added later so isnt that important of a point to make now.
The graphics are a nice improvement and i like the art style in general.
Trash equpment that nobody wishes to pick up now no longer vanishes and gets banked at the end of each wave it stays until the end of the map making everything look cluttered by the end and instead of auto selling everything and splitting the cash it splits it into each persons inventory which you then have to manually sell or wait a few days for the auto sell.
the preorder stated $30 of in game cash but my account has 0, not sure if thats a UK thing but i havent got a dime.

The map order is strange and have yet had a chance to work out what sort of order I should be doing them in with no solid structure like numbering added to the map names it is slightly confusing. The lobbies need an option to kick or to votekick idle players as they come in the game and build a few towers the reap the benefits of xp with no action able to be taken against them and it gets worse when the random lobby host is rolled onto them on endgame and everyone has to find a new lobby.

The building mana needs to have a higher drop rate as I have gone through games only being able to build a handful of towers that are then just destroyed as I dont have enough mana to upgrade or repair them.

To sum up, levelling feels pointless apart from being able to equip slightly better armour now and then when the lynchpin of all rpg style games is character progression and on dd2 it feels completely dead and worthless. Many more issues such as droprates need to be looked at and until this is updated i will probably stay away from this game for now. I will change my reccomendation upon further updates if improvements are made.

still crashes out of the game after about 10 mins of play on a hd7870 with 14.4 driver
i cant reccomend it until its playable
