The game feels like zip zap shaboobam cham zing shwing zoooo shlam blam woo shloom weeee scham.
I enjoy it.

The regular 6v6 is all you need. The game can be enjoyed fully F2P without any issues.

The engagement is top. Never felt like I was sitting around doing nothing at any point. There's always somewhere to go, something to do, people to poke.

The Weapon/Ship system I feel is pretty well done. Everyone starting with the same base ship and choosing their own path down the line feels really nice. Randomization of the unlocked ship order really adds to the dynamic of "what is everyone doing this game" rather than the same thing all the time.

Ships all feel unique and different, nothing really sticks out as an optimal choice over another which is nice.

Overall feels really great at EA launch and don't have any real complaints. Will say if you're going to try it, you need to give it a few games to get the systems down so set aside a few hours and don't just one-off an opinion.

Nostalgia hits hard sometimes.

It plays like an oldschool ARPG with knowledge from the future.

I put a lot of hours in during open Beta and can say the game is pretty easy to keep smashing the "play" button.

Fun free game with enough game modes of varying duration's.
7v7 are very quick in and out, (Character passives only)
3v3 are a little longer but feel more involved. (Primary ability/passives enabled)
5v5 Payload and Demo don't overstay their welcome. (All abilities available)

You can only do 7v7 until level 3 when you unlock Payload and 3v3, and demo unlocks at 5. Takes a about an hour to unlock all the gamemodes.

If you enjoy the art style, Third person shooters or ADS, I suggest at least giving it a try. That's the cool part about the price tag.

Super fun!
Super aggravating!

Gameplay is simple but engaging. Knowing the maps is helpful but a lot of the gameplay relies on what everyone around you is doing and how you choose to play around them. Very rarely is there someone so far ahead that it just doesn't matter.

Games take a bit of time currently to get into but it's not usually more than a minute. Playing through an entire Tour takes about 20 minutes, which is made up of 4 "activities" which are just stages. Bottom X don't make it through, regardless of how many points you've accumulated from previous rounds. I've seen people get 1st 1st 1st and then not make it through during the last round. It's almost always possible to catch up at the end in points if things work out!

Anyway, the game is free and you'll know after a tour or 2 if it's something you're interested in. Not much of a time sink and certainly not breaking your wallet.

One run in and I'm already very satisfied with all the changes they've made going from Lost Castle 1 to 2.

A few of the QOL include:
Not locked into attack animations for nearly as long
Dodge is more responsive
UI Enhancements for charge attacks and a weapon attack layout per weapon in the top left
Clearer explanations of what abilities do on weapons
Loot is PERSONAL now for multiplayer and can be shared for other players to see with a button
Certain loot drops give you a choice between 2 separate items instead of "this is just bad" and also added a dismantle for items you don't want that can be used to upgrade your equipped gear.

Overall, it's a much more updated and modern roguelite compared to its predecessor while keeping the charm it had. If you liked the original, I highly recommend picking this up.

It's like floaty Lost Ark raids without the risk of falling behind for not playing 100 hours every week. Highly recommend.

Good silly fun.
