Should I buy?

[XelNigma]

I'm thinking about getting this game but I see a lot of talk about bugs.

A few topics someone mentions they are not game breaking, but there is a lot of them. And there was some animosity toward the devs so I assume the bugs have been well known for a while now?

So straight up, how bad are the bugs in the game? Will I be well on my way with a fun and creative build just to have it ruined because an item is bugged and doesn't do what it says or anything like that?
What kind of bugs are we talking about here?

There are plenty of game breaking bugs, it's just that not everyone gets them. And yeah, that is one of the many kinds of bugs you'd run into. I'd recommend holding off, for now.

thanks for the heads up. i will wait on this one then

Most of the bugs aren't with the items even if there are a few items that have been broken for months and never fixed or removed, like for example the shortcut map.

Thank you

the only bug i noticed was with the character that used pets. Their inventories can get pretty jank. but it is totally playable.

Not worth buying. The game is very cute and is based on a cool idea but it seems abandonned and/or the devs are out of their depth here.

Definitely the latter, and starting to seem like the former.

The major bugs are mostly in story mode. Quick play is usually pretty playable.

It was more than playable, with very few bugs. I played story mode all the way through and didn't notice anything. This game also seems to be full release and not early access. I dont get it. By the standards set here 99% of games could be considered abandoned, and the only games not abandoned being actively updated early access games.

I've paid more for games ive spent less time playing, and I honestly just got this a few days ago.

Well, they took it out of EA before it was finished, and LONG before it was ready. And it's actually still not quite finished, or not even close to finished, depending on how you define it. There's 4 more characters to be released, 1 of which is a base game character, 2 of which are dlc, and one of which is iffy and it's not really stated whether she's base game or dlc, but I've been assuming the former. There's also summer themed items, which are base game, hamburger themed items, which are also iffy (for the same reason as the aforementioned character), and creative mode and increased modding support, which are supposed to be base game. And that's just what I remember off the top of my head. But regardless of the degree to which you consider the game unfinished, it IS unfinished, and it seems weird to take it out of EA when they still have that much work left to go before a legit "full" release.

Anyway, sounds like you're one of the lucky ones who didn't get many bugs. Congrats.

Also, this means that no, you DIDN'T play story mode "all the way through". And you never will, until at the very least the next character, and most likely the 3 characters after that, are finally released. THEN you can start a new story file and play it all the way through.

I hope these new characters to be released are more fun that tote and the robot. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they are rough to play.

CR-8 can be rough if you don't know what you're doing, but he is by FAR the most fun to play if you do, and his gameplay style is more akin to what I was expecting when I got this game, and is pretty much the whole reason I got it. Tote, however, used to be better. She used to be a lot more like Purse, but she does indeed suck, now. The devs said they were considering some more changes to her, but that was several months ago. You can look up the introductions to the characters here and videos online to see how she was, though.

The next character is supposed to be Duffel, who is occasionally mentioned in Pochette's story, and she is supposed to have some kind of "combo" mechanic with items. Hence my earlier post, and saying I suspect that the devs bit off more than they could chew.... -_-
