I like to kill Popes for fun. I don't even gain anything from it, most of the time it's just an inconvenience, but it has become a hobby of mine, a drug I indulge every time I have the opportunity. I do all I can to kill every pope I can, it's just too funny. I don't know if I'll ever do it in real life but for now it's entertaining enough to do it in game, I just want to kill popes and live my happy little life as a lowly count while the religious heads fall one after the other. God bless

well this game is...the very definition of a mixed bag.

I wouldn't say the game is bad. But I really can't say it' *that* good. The spells system is, for a Magicka clone, pretty neat, unique in its own way and gives a roguelike spin on the formula. The graphics are as always with frostbyte absolutely gorgeous. Nearly every area will leave you breathless. The enemies are somewhat repetitive but they are put in different situations enough for this to not be a problem (the fighting has other problems). The characters are INCREDIBLY charming. Their banters, interactions, or if you're in solo, little monologues make them so much more than a list of spells and skills you can swap. I catch myself thinking "don't wanna be owl alone" throughout the day because of my favourite character. The developers must have known that, because each character can be assigned 4 distinct moods which changes their reactions to being brought back, to last chances, and their little dialogues when you try to communicate with your teammates.
And then...The rest.
I greatly enjoy the game and even then I must admit that it is frustrating more than challenging. Rather than offering you an interesting diversity in fights, the game mostly just throws more enemies at you at one time. And as time goes on, instead of having a proper difficulty curve with enemies that make you think and strategise in unique and various ways, the game has you fight 30 copies of 4 different enemies, which will have immunities to various elements and give other enemies the same immunity just to make the fight last longer. Good luck having enemies effectively invincible to 4 out of 5 base elements, times 20. It rapidly turns into a slodge to push through, even though I can tolerate it myself.
As others have mentioned it, you can start a game private, but if you resume it, it'll be public and anyone can join: you cannot change that, and Frozenbyte has no intention to fix this because ♥♥♥♥ you that's why.

I know this sounds like this is mostly bad and...well it wouldn't be too far off, but still, the game is fun when you have friends to ease off the frustration, and I enjoy unlocking stuff, so I'm not unhappy about it. That being said, I'd absolutely recommend to wait for a sale, because the game isn't worth more than 10€ imo. Me and my friend lucked out and got it at 5€, and I'd say it's probably the most reasonable price for it

the knight has the ability to magnetise his shield, to grab, say, a box. Once I realised that, my friend was getting catapulted everywhere, sent into oblivion at my whim and desire, thrown like a projectile to get important items, he was my thing to use, an horrifying and deshumanising experience I'm sure, but I was too happy to be able to throw an actual human being wherever I wanted to care. Good game

finally living my dream of being a big sexy handsome man sucking on other men and make them whimper and squirm under my touch until they can barely stand

never has dogfighting been so fun

also, ♥♥♥♥ honey badgers <3

Finally fulfilling my dream of being either a pharmacist or a drug dealer

accidentally made a DEX build without knowing it was considered broken, now I am not struggling to the point I don't want to live, 0/10
For real though, I love this game even though I am "playing it wrong"
also if you feel like doing something grindy and tiring you can try to kill the enemies until they stop spawning, because after that you have those very melancholic places that are totally peaceful and harmless, it gives an entirely different feeling

A really fun game with friends!

Along with the constant stress of an eldrich abomination following you, you can also experience crippling guilt after killing off one of the characters forever.

Perfect.

Finally, I can use money to corrupt a republic. Thankfully it's only a fiction, and it never happens in real life.
