It's a masterpiece.

Amazing music, a ♥♥♥♥ ton of weapons and spells, creative enemy design, an insane amount of secrets to find, etc etc etc

Honestly I can't say enough praise about this game, just go and play it.

goobert...

Unfortunately, it just can't hold a candle to others in the genre. It has a cool gimmick with the mining, but everything else is just mehhh

- Weapons are boring as hell - Shoot bullets in a straight line! Shoot electric bullets in a straight line! Shoot bullets in 4 straight lines! Shoot bullets in a horizontal line! Shoot one big bullet! Its so uninspired.

- Upgrades are boring +% damage/fire rate/reload speed. No synergies or interesting status effect combos. Weapons have an overclock you can pick every 6 levels, but those are also for the most part stupidly boring like simply converting damage type or +% more damage but -% reload speed!!!!

- Meta progression is a joke honestly, multiple runs to get a +2% xp buff, ♥♥♥♥ off

- The game just feels really... empty and unfinished? I know its early access, but it feels like its missing so much. You can't hover over anything for more information, you can't make the minimap larger (or anything even close to QoL options), you can't see ores on the map, you can't separate the direction in which you are moving and which you are shooting/mining, which is a big deal because some weapons only work from the front or from the back, making them extremely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clunky and unfun to use. There isn't even a dedicated rock and stone button, or if there was, I couldn't find it, because there is no options menu to rebind any key.

As someone who is a connoisseur of this genre, I just can't justify this price tag.

pretty solid hour of fun

insanely good game, has a ♥♥♥♥ ton of content, especially with the new update

Shame that the game has such a cool visual style and idea, because everything else about it is tedious and uninteresting. Apart from the boring combat and annoying menus (yes, I do understand that is part of the appeal, but the moment you start selling keyboard shortcuts for meta currency, I'm out), the game gets held back so much by being a rogue-like. A big part of what makes the rogue-like genre fun is the replayability - the games are just really fun to play, and so you don't mind playing the same content over and over again. This is a big area in which Kingsway just falls apart - the gameplay is horrible. Combat is boring, managing "funny" jittery floating windows while fighting 3 mobs at a time gets old really really fast, dragging every single item to your inventory to take it, looting each individual mob separately, etc etc etc, I could go on and on. If this was just a short RPG with a beginning and and end that took maybe 2 or so hours to finish, I'd probably be writing a positive review. But as it stands, I don't see why anyone would enjoy this game past its Windows98 gimmick.

better than most actual souls games.
