Too many lazy/poorly thought out design choices:

Can't change targets if 2 people are downed on the same space in combat.

Enemies seem to know where your catapult shot will land, even if your allies do not.

Can't sort items other than by newest/oldest or name, want to find all your bows? Well just have to scroll through you inventory, no filtering by weapon/armor type or rarity or by equipment usable by the selected character and of course no basic search function.

For some reason they decided that when you conquer a territory that the follow up mission you can only use one member of the main party and the rest of the slots can only be used by the randomly generated characters, also you can't send yourself on these missions. What is the point of the party/player character then? There are so many of these you have to do it makes the main party pretty useless.

If the player is injured and you heal them at the camp time passes and it goes back to the map but you can't move the camera so the only things you can order your troops to do are what you can see from the fixed view.

Huge amounts of rng with equipment, every value has a range it can be on top of that for weapons they also get random skill assigned, makes crating gear pretty much just a waste of time.

Instead of $200 worth of dlc day one how about a game that works?

Day 2, ya lets have the developers stream playing the game instead of fixing it just to rub it in, saving isn't the only thing this game is failing at...

Between cheaters messing up your save and the random save corruption can't really recommend at all, but what the hell lets look at the rest.

The game its self is dark souls if it was a 3rd person shooter, not a bad concept at all but just feels rather incomplete. One play through doing all side bosses and exploring everywhere takes around 14 hours. As far as the random level generation for new game+ adding replay value, it really doesn't.

You have a chance at new bosses/encounters but the levels are pretty much exactly the same, might be a slightly different map layout but standard enemies don't have much variety and are always the same. Bosses instead of being interesting/a threat on their own are only annoying due to constant enemy spawns, randomly getting hit in the back and stunned by a normal monster mid fight isn't really the most interesting of mechanics.

As for equipment this is probably what feels most incomplete. "Skills" are weapon mods and you can only put one on your primary and one on your secondary 2 total. But you can only put them on certain weapons, others have built in ones that can't be removed. This means that weapon/skill choice is VERY restricted. Not much variety at all.

So short game, not really any replay value, can't recommend. Not a bad game just not enough to it.

Can't fully rebind keys on controller and it for some reason thinks 360 controller L and R are the right stick...

The most terrifying part of this game is the failed to join lobby message, it would haunt me in my sleep had I paid for this game...

Liked Vegas better, this just seems like every other generic fps released recently. Vegas was more unique, more fun.

Interesting concept, but needs some work. There seems to be quite a lack of depth to this for a "tactical" PvP game. Most abilities have too long of a cool down for how short a fight is so the game is pretty much just moving and using basic attacks.

Also, this will probably go free 2 play since this is like the 4th time in a fairly short period it has had a free weekend...

Not nearly enough to do...

Loading issue seems to be fixed, still wouldn't recommend it.

Between this and SRC, both of their games, I would say SRC is better, but both seem lacking. They don't really live up to the names behind them...

To put it simply they failed to heed this advice:

Never half-ass two things whole-ass one thing.

There are little things like not being able to rotate the camara so when there is ♥♥♥♥ in the way it's hard to postion your mercs and the boundries for max movemnet like to fade away...

And then there appears to be a huge problem with how low income is in this game is. Maybe I'm doing something horribly wrong but it seems like it's impossible to get enough money to equip more than one merc with good gear. You get like 1k or 2k for indivudal missions, the price of things such as a single med pack is 2.6k and leveling a merc is around 1k at this reward level.
Then you get around 10k the price of one good peice of equipment for completing a contract...

So by the time I finish a contract I can get 1 weapon or 1 piece of armor for one merc and by the time I complete the next contract that gear is ♥♥♥♥ and needs to be upgraded...

Still has some issues but has gotten a lot better.

Matchmaking:
Would be nice to have the option not to join games in progress, joined like 3 games in a row were the score is 28 to 8, score limit is 30. I know that you can spend a hell of a lot of time in a lobby waiting for one final player to join so there isn't a lack of games waiting in lobbies...

Game:
This could use a 2nd look:
There are abilites that blind vampires and you get a roll as a human but both are pretty much pointless as the vampire basic attacks just follow/stick to you. Where as a vampire the roll is way more benifical since the projectile weapons do not curve mid flight.

This still appears to be a problem:
The Tryant has this throw ability which can grab you from a seemingly limitless range, even if you are behind him...
