What we like:
  • Surprisingly addictive rogue-like feel ARPG
  • Well thought out and implemented game
  • Polished and exceedingly pleasant early access game
  • Constantly updating and improving by the developers
  • Wide range of build possibilities
What could be improved:
  • Repetition in maps and levels
  • Too much grind with not enough payoff
  • Controller issues in menus
  • Demoralizing legendary effect that didn't work
  • Absence of certain features like influence
