To all the early Access buyers - Impressions?

[EgoSchlüter]

As title says, how good or bad is the released game now.
From what i saw the demo was updated and improved compared to the one from steam next fest.

My first impression, having no knowledge of the game beyond a trailer and having only reached the last stage of Act 3 with Robin as a solo player.

I like the speed and feel of the bow. At first i thought aiming was a bit loose. But after playing awhile it felt better. If there is target lock, i totally missed it. But, havent struggled any without.

Dodging and general movement around the field works well.

Technique, Artefact, etc. unlocking as you play feels fine. Occasionally needing to grind a level an extra 1 or 2 times for gold doesn't feel bad.

Graphics are average. Looks good enough at 4K and ultra settings.

Performance has been solid. Haven't had any stuttering (PC specs and mileage may vary).

I think my only concern, again having not completed the game, is length and map variety. How much more game do i have? Visually, there are only 2 other map points I havent done, which could be up to 6 more stages? Not sure.

Wait for steep sale and friends to play with. Super basic game

Pros
- fantastic idea of having a steampunk version of Sherwood
- all characters are re-imagined to have special weapons and abilities that make sense in this universe
-game runs flawlessly (game isn't a looker or anything tho)
That's about it sadly...

Cons
- enemy design (in combat, not the art design) is boring as hell, or formulaic if you like. You have normal dudes that just sit there 90% of the time, guy with aoe attack, guy with shield, guy with bow etc. And they all look almost identical too.
- sound design and ESPECIALLY voice acting is poor. The voice acting is REALLY bad, which is insane to me, coz all you had to do is find people that can talk with an English accent and you'd be golden, but except for Robin all of them are sub-par, especially Marian
- combat has some nice ideas, like making little John a melee brawler with an augmented steampunk-arm...but it feels floaty, with no impact and bear in mind I was playing the melee character
-enemy AI is just basic at best and bugged at worst. They don't do anything except sit there and attack every x seconds and if you put a wall between you and them they get stuck etc
-level design is boring as hell. Compared to something like vermintide that has crazy vast levels that still manage to funnel you in a corridor, this is just a narrow as all hell corridor then a small circular arena with enemies, rinse and repeat. And they even managed to make a grappling hook boring, since you can only use it in the "end of an area" places to change zones and in like 1 combat move when the enemy is airborne

Hopefully they have means to keep developing the game and make it better over time, because right now it's a pass...

Yea I would spend £10 max I payed well to much for this game and went past the 2hour refund policy it’s kind of alright but lacking a lot for the price still going to play it for another day or two then uninstall

I ended up actually refunding it, I cant say that it was a Bad game, but it was for sure beyond the pale of formulaic and dull. The combat is pretty much a button masher with a fairly low skill ceiling at least at first, the enemy types are really basic and their move sets are not engaging. I also really didnt have anyone to play with so id say if you want something basic, have friends to play with and get it on sale, not the worst weekend killer, but if you want depth in combat id wait for Granblue Re:link

Yea I agree

With Robin is very easy play. in one afternoon the main story is finished in normal difficult and playing alone

[Shoah Kahn]

In a word, generic. Kind of like it's trying to mimic Dragon's Dogma, only to be Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance; in a similar way to how that recent Lord of the Fallen game was trying to be Dark Souls, only to end up feeling like a paper-thin, "arcade edition" thereof.

The game has some potential in certain areas -- themes, general gameplay ideas, co-op, looks -- but, feels distinctly shallow and mostly like a cash grab for the holiday season; with the very remote possibility that, if it sells uber well (not likely), it could be revisited and refined in a sequel.

Verdict: 4.5/10 -- worth it for $5 in the post-Xmas bargain bin and/or as a rental.

I am playing the early-access on PS5 now. I can't really tell if this game will get dull after I run out of missions. The gameplay is satisfying for now. Main complain is that I am playing in Heroic difficulty from the start, but it does not feel heroically difficulty. I wouldn't say it is difficult at all. I am playing solo, because I just couldn't find a way to join strangers for coop. Literally no button or anything. So I dunno. I hope they fix it on release and there will be more people playing it. Right now I would give it a 6/10. Should be way better in coop.

Yea I finished missions in 4 hours and tried another character after but it was just boring running the same missions again it’s not like Wayfinder where you can run multiple of the same missions as you are getting stuff you need to get better gear or like new world also for me this game isn’t it was bored after finishing missions 3/10

There is no 2-hour limit until the general release of the game, you can still refund.
