A murderhobo jrpg.

Did not get too far yet and I still plan on playing more but more as a time burner than anything else. I expect it has a bit more depth as I progress but based on the trailer I don't think there's much. If you want a comfortable time killer with basic mechanics that doesn't waste time with story or characters then this is your game. I would wait for a 50% sale and pick it up.

Besides literally DayZ no other game has crashed more frequently for me

Hard to explain but ill give it a shot.

tl;dr: its definitely worth looking into and trying out to see if its for you

For awhile I've been trying to pin down exactly what it is that I'm looking for in an mmo and I think ive boiled it down to three things: Risk/Reward, Sense of Progression, Sense of Exploration. This game hits 2/3 for me. There's technically a fourth but we'll get to that later.

In terms of risk/reward: full loot pvp definitely does the trick. Getting more means risking more. I get a little scared every time I go somewhere I know someone can kill me and undo all the work I just did and more. I get a rush every time the risk and effort come together into something tangible. Even narrowly escaping death has its appeal to me. At the same time the risks you take are entirely up to you (to a certain degree, eventually you'll have to take a risk to improve further)

Sense of Progression: Unpopular opinion but I actually don't mind grind especially when it results in your character visually changing. For crafting yourself new gear this game fits the bill quite well. Although i don't quite like how hard it is to actually feel stronger I'm going to give this game the benefit of the doubt and assume that the error there is on me as the player.

Sense of Exploration: This is where it fails for me. The world is huge and its quite diverse visually (although I think the style does detract from this somewhat but in terms of gameplay that's nitpicking). Especially with the portals that lead to dungeons scattering the maps I never felt like the world was at all small or constraining except for where you as the player drew the line (tying back into risk/reward). The problem is that for me it doesn't feel like enough to just have a big world. The things that make exploration feel worthwhile to me just aren't there. Finding a hidden dungeon with rare loot inside occasionally would be cool but the dungeons arent exactly hidden and none of the loot feels particularly rare on account of good gear having to be crafted (which is fine but still). Alternatively interesting lore or NPCs to run into would fit the bill but this game is very light on those kinds of things from what I've experienced. That leaves having interesting players to run into and experience some kind of adventure with leading me to my secret last section.

Community: Yall are some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bastards. I remember when I first played this game I joined a guild and when I went offline for awhile to handle course work I'd fallen behind on I was kicked for inactivity and by the time I came back the guild had disbanded. I try coming back online and half the portals and zone entry points have a handful of red players behind them trying to make a quick buck. When I asked for a guild someone told me that nobody is going to sink resources into a noob. This leads me to my conclusion.

Try the game, if you like it then its worth fighting for enough resources to fend for yourself and then finding a guild that you can trust which I assume makes this game 10 times more fun. Even without that I can recommend the game so I hope that says something.

Again tl;dr: its definitely worth looking into and trying out to see if its for you

I'm having a lot of fun with it, ill go more in depth once im done playing

AH GOD ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ JEEZ THIS IS WHY WE LISTEN TO THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WARNINGS SON OF A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I KNOW I DONT REALLY DO THESE GAMES WELL WHY THE ♥♥♥♥ DID I DO THAT IM GONNA HAVE NIGHTMARES FOR WEEKS WHY DIDNT ONE OF YOU STOP ME.

ahem

What I meant to say was, you should really take the time to read the tags and warnings and really find out that this game is right for you to play before you dive in head first. For those that meet all the prerequisites I encourage you to play this game. I personally do not like this game but i can easily recommend it for others.

Aight so last night my friend asked me to write a review for this game because of the steam link deal. Last night i was also drained and exhausted so i just put "i just didn't like it...". I woke up and it said "i just dont like you" and there was a "1 out of 16 people found this helpful". But I didnt mind since that friend i mentioned happens to be my roommate and they told me to write what i told him so it would actually be helpful. So here we go.

First of all I would like to say that I do not like this game.

Now that we've covered that and we're aware that I have a bias we can continue into why:

1. I just really dont like the narration. I realize that this game was ported over and i can't expect it to be perfect but i just really didn't like this guy's voice. To quote Borderlands 2 "Everytime he speaks I feel my brain cells committing suicide 1 by 1."

2. This game tried to balance certain things that I enjoy in games. High speed combat and "exploration" (the term im gonna use for finding the hidden ♥♥♥♥ i put it in quotes because my friend doesnt consider this exploration and therefore i must pander to him). For me it succeeds at neither.

I think i read in someone else's review before i bought this game "Within the first 10 minutes youll find one broken move or another that youll use for the rest of your time playing" and its true. Unless you really love watching those combo points rise then you might switch it up but if thats not your thing than this game might not be for you. I was like that and every fight felt tedious almost. The boss fights were a fresh change of pace and they weren't overwhelmingly difficult but their movesets swapped between "easy predictable dodge" and "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥". Thats probably my bias seeping through but hey thats what reviews are all about.

As for the exploration I begin with a note on what exploration SHOULD feel like. You see something, its off somehow or maybe its juuuuuuuuust right while everything else is slightly off. It piques your curiosity, it makes you wonder. Eventually you stray from whatever path you were on to go take a look. And off you go on your adventure. Ya know what exploration SHOULDNT feel like? A narrator telling you "DONT GO THAT WAY" and hoping his irritating voice drives you to disobey. Thats not all of the hidden things in the game but its a damn big chunk of em. Overall the "other paths" are eitherr blatantly obvious when you see them or dont feel genuine to the setting of the game.

3. i just dont like it.... Its not the graphics or anything. I played the game and i got a few of the endings and i just didnt really like it. I was fighting the big bad when i looked at the time played thing and saw 2 hours on there. I thought about it and decided i really didnt like the game so i returned it. And now here we are.

Overall, if you want a steam link for $8.69 plus shipping with a free game that you may or may not play, go for it.

I played through the entire thing and this is one of the most amazing games ive ever played in my life. The impact this game left on me is the impact all games should aspire to leave on people. i have played this game for roughly 8 hours and i will remember all 8 of them for a very long time.

ITS ON SALE YOU LUNATICS BUY THIS GAME.

Have you played... Undertale?

Did you... LIKE Undertale?

No?

Let me guess, the characters didn't really mean much to you.

That was the problem i found with Undertale, it did a lot of innovative things and past its fan-base it was a pretty good game, but i never spent long enough with the characters to give a ♥♥♥♥.

If you spent more time bonding and growing an attachment to the chararters you might have give a damn what happened, right?

If so, try this game because the thing they do right is forcing you to bond with a character.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you all did it, i apologize for my review when this game came out. I really respect this.

I bought this game solely so i could sell the cards. I turned it on and walked away for awhile. the cards never came. I actually started playing in hopes of getting the cards so i can sell them. Ended up playing it because it was fun. Worth the 14 cents.


Still waiting on my cards tho.

I had to rename Easy mode possible mode in an attempt to preserve my pride

10/10
