I was hyped for the game. Bought it. And was severely disappointed.
Can you elaborate. 2 of my friends both love this game. Just curious what left you feeling underwhelmed
Sure! Every pixel is simulated sounds neato! It doesn’t feel dynamic. The randomness is too random I guess and you can have a great run or die before the first door all depending on what wands you get. And it just repeats.
The person below said read guides and stuff, and to me that’s a poorly designed game if I have to educate myself on it before getting to enjoy it.
Of course I bought it early access and haven’t been back, but it sounds like it’s some people’s cuppa tea.
Thanks for sharing your opinion! I think a lot of people enjoy digging into a game via guides and wikis to learn how to min-max. I think I’m one of those people so I would probably enjoy that aspect it.
I think (without having played more than 1 run) that a lot of where improvements come from in skill is consistency, and that’s something I enjoyed a lot is learning slay the spire (making most runs at least somewhat viable).
All that said, it’s a game and you should obviously enjoy yourself playing a game, or leisure time in general :P A shame it didn’t land for you though
I’m trying out the game. Honestly, a simple tutorial / intro would go a long way towards flattening out the initial difficulty curve. Having to go into a wiki to learn the basic concepts of wands and spells is not my idea of a good time.
It’s partly a joke, but going down the levels until you beat the final boss really is the tutorial. The “real” game requires online collaboration to dig up its secrets, so having to go on the wiki for wand basics is in many ways just priming you for the serious stuff.
