Sseth made a video about this game.

And it gave it a big bump. I checked steam charts and last the high player amount at release was almost 400. After Sseth's vid it's now close to 1100. Deserved, it's a very fun game. Been playing off and on since EA nice to see it do well.

It's the ultimate "build theory crafting" game, which is why I think it's so much fun. Even if it fails (and some of my builds failed many times) you just right back in and work out if it was the skill/stat or, item drops or type of enemies you fought.

And then eventually it clicks and you end up killing the King of Many Colours so quickly you don't even realise it.

Is why I tried the Demo then bought it.
Have passed on a lot of the obscure games he spotlights, but this does pretty exactly scratch my comp building itch. Really reminds me of old 3.5 D&D theory crafting... without needing to inflict it on a group super streamlined gameplay.

No shade on the dev, but there are a lot of rough edges to look for "exploits". In a higher production game, a strong build feels handed down from the creators. There are definitely some very intentional synergies, but they feel in the minortiy... or you can subvert them.
Like I don't think a frostpulse 16 Gallus was really intended to be functional.

I got into the game a few months back, before the video. So happy to see the dev get the success they deserve.

This game is like Tales of Maj-Eyal, with the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unfair oneshots, and similar build variety. But this game wins, because it's approximately 1000 times faster. ToME4 is still a good game tho.

I do find it kind of worrying that Sseth is shilling another game about a world during its last moments, with vague semitic spells for class names and other random words.

Notes to self: gotta start developing kabbalistic roguelike with skin flaying in it, success will be guaranteed after Sseth 100% reviews it.
