This game is a disappointment

[Skillo]

After playing necrosmith 1 a very long time ago and having an amazing time with it, hearing news about a sequel got me really excited, and i couldn't stop thinking about how much potential this game had.

The concept itself is amazing, and with a little bit more QoL and a streamlined progression curve this could become something to hit the mainstream.

But alas, what we got was an unpolished, shallow mess that ends before it even starts and even thought it lasts very little, doesn't do its thing very well either. You have boring spells, boring metaprogression, body part acquisition is mostly tied to what map you are at, you still have very little control over your units, monster diversity is mostly stats so every time you reach a new tier everything before them is worthless, enemies are also extremely basic and titans are just another big unit.

Seriously, what is there to enjoy here that is not what necrosmith 1 already provided? I was expecting more, a lot more. I don't know if the devs scope for this project is way smaller than what i was actually hoping or if this is genuinely a letdown for most people, but all i can say is that this is barely even a step forward compared to the first game. I know its pretty cheap but it feels like i have paid a few dollars just to be disappointed

Well I though agree that game is still unpolished with low budget, since this game is a indie game, its normal you to be disappointed.Dev can definitely improve the game in future but I say don't expect much.

I really do like this game but the performance is bad enough that I would never recommend it to anyone. If they fixed it I would have no issues recommending it.

Agree. Same game like the 1 with more performance issue.
Can't ask refund --> Scam.

This game is what the first should have been. There's really nothing super new.

Are you kidding? Titans! You can use all your outclassed bodyparts to create titans which will retain their usefulness. Also the boss fights have been greatly improved. Further, there are more stats like vampirism and more interesting abilities and more variety. None of that was in Necrosmith 1. Honestly, you don't even seem to acknowledge anything.

All of that are Upgrade or DLC features.
No new mechanics, no new spells. Same parts of corps are the sames, just more trashes parts who you play 2 hours with its.
In the 1 I completed all secrets recipes (I create my own google docs for that). Boring to do the same with juste MORE combinaisons but nothing new.
