Boring Arpg

I hate Aprgs because the combat is pretty boring which of course this game happens to be one. The roguelite elements are just annoying in this game. The movement is too slow and there is no dodge roll or any real way to get out of the way. The game itself is too grindy like a Free to Play game. Glad I got it on sale, still feel annoyed I spent money it tbh.
