I just want to club one of these thug shmucks over the head and take their gun. I take the ammo but I don't take the gun? ridiculous. If you won't let me take their guns, at least let me make a necklace out of ears.

This game is a wonderful blend of Thief, Dark Messiah, and a hint of Arx Fatalis. Increase the kick range, add more stuff to be thrown at enemies, maybe a few spike traps that enemies can be impaled on, some finishers, a stealth kill system, and I think you've got the makings of a 10/10 game here. Play up the more dark messiahish elements more, and I'll gladly buy this game for as many friends as I can.

Disregard previous requests for regenerating mana, I didn't realize that the game already has that when you upgrade certain skills.

God bless team sneed

The movement and platforming is tight, and the combat system is great when it's 1v1. When enemies start clipping into each other and you have multiple enemies attacking back to back, it can turn into a mess and it becomes very hard to read what each enemy is doing, or have enough stamina to defend from all of their attacks. Enemy attack ranges can also be janky as well, and I found myself often getting hit when standing behind an enemy that my buddy was attacking. My buddy and I also fought to the very end of the horned boars area and spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to open up the large door at the end of the dungeon. It was tedious, frustrating, and it turns out that there was no reward for doing so, not even a placeholder treasure chest. I think the game has some serious potential, and it's well worth playing.

Fantastic game, but please buff the tax evasion skill. I got curious and spawned in 10,000,000 gold bars (at roughly 45ish hours in, I'd only made about 100-300~ gold bars legitimately) and I put all 10,000,000 directly into leveling tax evasion. at level 4468 levels, my taxes are now 40% of what they would be originally. I understand the want for diminishing returns, but nobody in a legitimate playthrough will get anywhere near that, so the skill feels pointless to level up past level 10ish.

also, if you could change demigod so praying to eyth/believing in yourself is what causes you to activate your passive, that would be fantastic, because leveling up the faith skill is one of the few ways to gain will in this game.

Screw you guys for even attempting to stealth install EGS on my system. Remove this ♥♥♥♥ immediately.

Portrait of Ruin is my favorite castlevania game. To get it bundled with two other castlevania games I haven't played yet is amazing. Plays just fine, though I'm not sure how the sisters are gonna control in the secret mode since the stylus aiming is a bit awkward. Still, John and Char's story plays solidly.

The game seems well designed, but I strongly dislike the attempt to shoe-horn in identity politics into the character customization screen. Please stop doing this, it's not going to catch on, and your game is going to look incredibly silly once the general public wakes up and realizes that simply saying you are something doesn't actually automatically make you something.
Any clown emojis that get added to this comment just let me know that a redditor saw this review.

Body type A and B huh?

It's like the worst parts of runescape and everquest had a down syndrome baby. Your inventory fills up with junk, the character customization options are limited, the armor looks ugly, everything is a massive obtuse grind, starting an alt character has the same satisfaction as punching yourself in the balls since all of the time and effort you spend grinding goes down the drain, the combat is mediocre at best, exploring sucks since your character moves at a snail's pace while teleporting costs waaaaaay too much, things you equip also stay in your inventory much like how the hawaiian shirt you're wearing on vacation is also simultaniously in your suitcase, and the game just doesn't look all that great.

The *idea* behind being able to freely swap your playstyle is great but in exectution, you might as well have been wasting your time if you decided that swords suck after 20 levels and you'd rather try fire magic since the bonuses for leveling swords only benefit you while you're specced into swords.

Also "the game encourages exploration" is something I see quite often but again your character is slow, teleporting costs a lot, the maps barely have anything worth seeing, and you'll often find your outings cut short because you happened to draw the aggro of a much higher leveled moster that also moves faster than your character does.

Want to play a ranged character? Too bad, your character doesn't want to live that life. He'll walk 15 feet away from an enemy to fire that arrow/cast that spell which only buys you about a second without being attacked if you're lucky, though distance doesn't seem to play a factor on if you get hit or not.

Up close and personal? Hope you like the same old boring MMO formula of just you smacking an enemy while they smack you, only now you have 4 bars to watch instead of the standard health and mana.

This game has *very* dedicated fans and it's admirable, but I have doubts that this game will grow its fanbase unless some serious changes occur. Till then, keep milking the whales for VIP subscriptions I guess.

Want to take a step in the right direction? Change the inventory so it has a dedicated infinite materials storage. Stopping to sort inventory or go back to town to sell ♥♥♥♥ just *kills* the pacing. It sucks to throw something away only to find out that NPC bumble♥♥♥♥ needed that item in order to get them to like you enough to teach you the blumpkin skill or something.
