Purple dragon with seemingly infinite health

[FRIENDLY MAN]

Why.

[Kunovega]

Was this from the new update? They added harder waves

[Hugo the Dwarf]

yeah, I played a new profile and got wiped from it, Used my endgame profile and wiped the floor with it. It's just a really strong mob with now way to see it's health bar.

The goal the devs said was to make sure the game sessions are kept "short" so you have more time to upgrade your meta-upgrades (Cat, Acid Fog, Lightning Strike, Mender, Part Spawner, Teleporter, etc) Since this game is similar to those like Vampire Survivors (play a bit, die, upgrade and get stronger, retry again, see if you get further)

I find the timer and the mob spawner a bit annoying. I enjoyed the long play sessions and pushing the units as far as possible in the map and then eventually getting wiped from overwhelming mobs. But now I feel that I am for sure going to die every time the mob spawner appear.

That's such a cheap design choice.

If you are not past this gold threshold for upgrades between games, you are guaranteed to lose.

If you are past this gold threshold for upgrades between games, you are very likely to surpass it mindlessly.

Good to know my early runs are rendered invalid no matter what parts RNG blesses me with, because the magic dragon will destroy all my lizards and anything else in seconds, and can't be taken down with acid. What a stupid choice made by the developers.

[alleszermalmer]

once i got lizards it wasnt too hard ( at least the 1rst boss), just pump out lots of mobs

[Cryten]

That is exactly the design. You cant win on parts you can reasonable acquire from the map in that time frame. You can only win from meta upgrades. Most useful for the timed spawner being the lightning strikes and upgraded parts.

I suspect that the intention was to stop people from slowly clearing each circle and instead use meta unlocked parts to spawn strong monsters from portals to try and acquire more progression before the next grade of spawner kills you off.

Yeah, the 15 minute timed purple dragon isn't a fun mechanic.

[radix_s]

This made me stop playing the game.

[Basilllisk]

I just picked up the game. I'm enjoying it but looking at this is making me wish I played it sooner. Super long play sessions without the insta-gib waves sound fun. It should've been added as an alternative mode rather than replacing the default.

I cleared through the first wave super easy just by getting the lightning spell. I didn't feel much success, felt cheap.

You can defeat the dragon even without any upgrades in the main menu. You just need access to vampire parts before the 15 minute mark. And if you have bolt lvl 3, you can just kill the dragon as soon as it spawns.

[Cryten]

You will very likely loose to forest spawners unless you quickly gather forest parts for a complete forest monster. As forest spawners monsters are faster then anything your orc parts can make and hit far higher then the armour that could protect you from desert spawners. Thus unless you are lucky you will likely end you game without any meta upgrades trying to enter the forest.

I tried on a no meta upgrade game and watched the spawner slaughter a full 7 undead squard in a single wave. I even had a hybrid with harpy weapons but without the equivalent speed it got slaughtered.

[Mr.B]

This freaking purple dragon made me quit the game. It's a refund for me. What a idiotic dev choice.

[Kurdain]

Meh.

Easy to take down with a upgraded lightning spell or lightning+poison.

Later mobs are tougher.

About 1/2 way through the meta purchases, especially blueprint quality, the game gets too easy.

[The AlphaBlaze]

Devs of these kinda games should listen more to the voice of those who support their games and make things more of an option depending on the preferred gamer's play style.
