If you like Darkest Dungeon but it's a little rough for you this game will scratch your itch. Got it for free, but bought all the DLCs because its just really addictive. Great game to waste some time with...seems easy, but when it ramps up it gets quite intricate and you can change almost many parameter of the game to adjust to your liking. Props to the developer, this is my first review on GOG because this game simply deserves some respect
There's definitely some fun to be had with this game. It's up to personal preference if you want to overlook the obvious flaws it has.
All the upgrades, especially the "Master" talent tree, are garbage. There is absolutely zero perceptible increase in power whenever you level up. Oh you wiped during the last run? No worries! You can have an extra round of 10% damage reduction! You can get +10% chance of getting an insignificant buff! The possibilies!
The same applies in the "Master power" reward you get for certain encounters. Like, you do 5 more damage with one specific attack. For reference, high level enemies have around 700 hp.
And also poorly balanced like I said. Not enough gold to keep up with the later campaigns. Even if you spend ALL your gold on upgrading monsters, without purchasing additional ones (which is another big problem itself, since you're gonna run out of motivation very soon), you're gonna have level 3 monsters vs level 5-6 adventurers. They're gonna wipe you in 2 or 3 rounds and not receive any significant damage.
It's a "nice little one".
Appealing pixel-graphics and animations.
Appreciated mechanics, perfectly in theme with this genre.
But "it has its thorns". Big ones for me.
Firstable, i still have a lot of troubles making it run: 8 time on 10, unity founded something wrong at startup. (this is the main reason of my stars number)
It soons becomes repetitive: playing the 2nd master, it becomes already the same ever and ever.
Lastly, if you win or not seems to be determined half by choices and half by chancs. Not for me.
So, i decided not to go on to see what is the remaining part of the game.
