Before i start this review it is worth pointing out that i have played this game before the big update launched with the Underlords bosses and gameplay revamp and was able to climb to lord of white spire before the big update hit.

Now, with that being said, i personally dislike the direction the game is headed towards where Underlords keep drastically changing the core aspect of the auto chess gameplay to the point where it is not even recognizable for old timers like myself who would prefer such gimmicks out of the game simply because they feel awkward to play with and build around in terms of team compositions and such.

Additionally, the hp and damage values were reworked which causes games to last way longer than it should, what kind of auto chess games last up to an hour per session? That is ridiculous. Granted, the devs have tried to remedy this by introducing modes such as knockout but again these feel more like gimmicks and custom game modes that are not meant to be taken seriously considering how heavily reliant on RNG that mode revolves around and such.

Finally, The UI and display especially on mobile is horrendous compared to what it looked like in the past. Overall i have to admit, the big update has left a bitter taste in my mouth and i wish we could play the game as it originally was before the big update because it was better in my opinion.

Now to move on to the underlords subreddit and discord fanbase. My god i have never seen a community more sensitive and more aggressive towards people who don't share the same circlejerk opinion as they do. The moment you bring up any problems with the game, be prepared to fight off the fans who come up with all kinds of reasons and excuses to justify it and report you hoping you get banned from the community. An example of this would be if you complained about issues such as gameplay length or UI display, they will talk about how the game is still in beta and that means these issues are allowed to stick around, which honestly defeats the purpose of a beta but i digress.

Additionally, being negative about the game is viewed as being a toxic menace to these people, say one too many bad things about the game in the game discord and you will probably be banned by the oversensitive moderators who get mad as soon as you critique them and tell em that they are incapable at their jobs. These are the same type of people who believe that there is a limit to negativity. Never in my entire life have i ever heard of something more ridiculous besides listening to Donald Trump's Speeches.

Lastly, even though i personally dislike the game and it's community now especially in it's current state, i am not going to tell you to not play this game, instead, i am going to let you decide if its worth it to invest time and effort into a game that is constantly in a state of flux with a community that will defend all it's problems to the death, with that being said, i wish the game and it's community all the best.
