It feels like the original tuned up a notch. Very good on the first run. The bigger character sprites are a great improvement as well. Will update the review later.

UPDATE
I don't like the providence trials (challenges) much. You have to do them whether you like it or not in order to unlock items that will allow you to have decent-ish runs without getting curb stomped by stage 3-4. Alternatively I believe you can play with 3 other people, beat the game a few times easily and then unlock most stuff since many trials offer the option to for example kill 3000 enemies with a specific character instead of doing the trial.

Putting aside the bias of this being another RoR it would be an excellent 8/10 either solo or with friends and its one of those very few "co-op" games that you can actually play solo.

Not very mechanically deep but it's got enough fun content to keep it going.

That being said,here is what is most people are going to want to know:
  • You need very little DLC to get started and not have a hollow experience (Sacred Pool,Frostmarch,City and maybe a Reaper) The adventurer starter pack is good.
  • It's kinda RNG heavy but you can definitely come up with strategies to win. Keep in mind though that its mostly at least for me a social experience and friends DO make it more fun.
  • You're not gonna have to splurge as for everything else the game goes on sale pretty often and this is how I got most DLC I wanted
  • Playing online with friends and alone with bots is fine and you don't need to buy Talisman: Origins
  • Your online games are limited to ONE (1). If you start a MP session and you all quit you can come back later and continue but if the host started another multiplayer session in the meantime with other people then your first one is lost.
  • As of somewhat recently your steam bought DLC and stats and shared on Android as well.
  • Devs are actively working on it and I hope that if more people like this game then it's only gonna get better with time

The final stage and boss is ass and I've beat it on monsoon. Apart from that ignore other complains, the game is solid and worthy of what it's got so far. It's not ROR1 but it is it's own thing in a good way.

I'm just reviewing for the sale badge. Play whatever the hell you like and ignore reviews in total

Doesn't justify paying extra for it. And no, adding a few clothes for Chloe in didn't balance that.
Let the downvotes flow now.

First time seeing an "Overwelmingly Positive" game being a complete meme.
-Very bad pixel art (probably default assets of some rpg maker version)
-the pathways are sometimes weird and not obvious enough and it gets frustrating even moving around. Add insult to injury it claims full controler support and my logitech is partly working ,I've also read bad things about xbox controlers.
-The gameplay is very repetitive and simplistic to the point it looks like it was made by junior high students.They couldnt even decide if they were going for a point and click game , rpg maker one or to use an NES dev kit as it seems.
-the dialogues involve childish humour and dull sequences very often.

If the story is only half as good as they say this might be your 5/10 time waster wannabe adventure game but judging by the sheer ammount of hype it had going on for it and the unbased mindless "epic story , much feels" everyone keeps mumbling about it i highly doubt it.

There are literal tons of games tagged "story rich" and "great soundtrack" but they usually have more video game ellements to show along with those. This is not the case ,wouldn't reccomend buying at 8 euro ,not even below 5 as there is much more quality available during sales in this price range.

The system requirements are a lie.

I should be able to run this on stable 60 fps but no... i get 15-40 and even after restarting the game to try medium/low/minimal the frame gain was abyssmaly low (5-6 fps)

Until the devs get back to working on it and as long as it is beta i wouldn't reccomend it in anyway unless your computer has 4x what the game is asking for at least.

For the sake of your sanity and free time i'll try to be as short as i can.

The fun in this game :

is when you have your squad of warriors mages archers et cetera and the beatdown of the enemy begins. Its also piss easy to reach that point before getting bored because by the first town (30-40 minutes in) you get a second party member for free and you can hire another at one of the local shops. And from that point onwards you constantly meet new people until you max the total party member slots which are 8. But hey if you are playing with summons this can be extended up to 16 !

Pros :

-Huge variety of spells that includes from fireballs to world manipulating magics
-Very very good control over your squad , customizing their behavior and attack patterns as you please.
-Mules. You get to have mules to carry the loot you cant fit into inventory and would in some other game have to leave behind or constantly move back and forth from town.
-More mules. At this point im having two and i believe i can buy a third one.
-Great voice acting. Especialy considering this game came out 15 years ago.
-You don't just use a potion and your HP goes up. Your character actually CHUGS it. Furthermore they don't drink it all ,just as much as they need and the rest stays in the inventory to be used later.
-You can press R and distribute all potions between party members without having to manually give them as many as they need. And characters that use magic automaticaly get more mana potions.
-Theres a guide that shows you how to update to the latest version ,fix all bugs easily and run on any desired resolution which i will link below. Currently im running it between 70 and 120 fps.

Cons:

-The story doesn't say a lot but its definitely there and you can always find more about it via books in game. Not a very big deal but it could be a little better.
-The soundtrack. Its good but very unfiting ,if you mute the sfx and just listen to it you'll notice.
Honest truth about the soundtrack
-In multiplayer you can have only one character and the sense of squad comes from other players. There are mods though!

The only guide you need :

Killah's Guide

I'd give this game a solid 7.5/10

And a tip to younger players : Don't bash on an old game you can't run. Theres always a way. And remember to always check the guides before playing 90s and 00s games

Early Access Review
At its current state Id call it Doorways : Beyond ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ . Its unstable AF, moving the mouse feels awkward as hell with the way the camera moves and all graphics presets have 0 difference in performance at all. The first time i run it it froze and i had to force shutdown my pc , then they fixed it i started it in the highest graphics settings and my fps went up and down all the time from 20 to 60 , then i switched to mid and then to low and it was the same.

Before you tell me "Its going to be fixed its early access still" i have 1 thing to say , if your game doesnt show ANYTHING at all that will make me want wait for updates and fixes because i'll really want to play , then its getting uninstalled right now which is whats going to happen. Thank god i didnt pay for this. Wouldnt reccomend trying it even if you got it for free.

Its a really messed up relationship of love and hate between me and this game. It f**ked me so hard that i now can't get enough.
Get a controller , start dying and dont forget to PRAISE THE SUN ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.


On a serious note the hitboxes can be a little bit stupid some times. Other than that no problem for me. I wish i had gotten one of these earlier when they came out. 10/10 would die again.
