There is no progression and no growth
I want to like this game, but you are just not allowed to get anywhere.
Barely any gold drops, no good items drop, you get outscaled by the enemy extremely badly and are lucky to even survive the first boss - if you made it past the slimes - and the permanent character traits might as well not exist for how slowly you unlock points for them given that most runs you die because the ***** of a boss keeps teleporting away and mobs overrun you.

Worst game design I have ever seen in a game of this genre.
If you have nothing, you get nothing, it is a pointless grind into a wall that will not budge.

I agree. This game kind of has a reverse difficult curve outside of its make your own difficulty system. Did you know that twice as much of the skill tree drops drop in Act 2? Well they do. Act 2 is both generally easier than Act 1, and has much better rewards. But requires act 1 completion. Really needs some ironing out. But for the time being at least; I am hopeful this will be addressed.

Yeah I kinda wish stronger gear would drop in higher darkness but pretty much you have to go for special gimmicks and nothing else

Initially you get outscaled by the enemy, later on though the game becomes a complete joke, it's not difficult at all. No progression? there is a skill tree to farm that makes you incredibly overpowered, there is gear to farm that makes you overpowered. In some of my last runs I was hitting for over 300k nothing in the game scales with that or presents a challenge.

Game has issues with your character becoming way too overpowered. My avoron essentially cant die with his talent and gear set up. I am seemingly godlike at only 15 hours into the game so far.

I get most of my gear by buying them from the shop. The shop in my game has had INSANELY OP gear. I pick up all the loot i can possibly hold in each run and sell to stockpile as much gold as i can till something OP pops up. Sometimes many OP items pop up in the shop at the same time so need to save alot of gold for those instances.

The game can be challenging early on like most games. If you need talent points just farm the first couple bosses and as you slowly gain power you can go a little farther and get the next boss that drops talent orbs. then you will eventually be able to EASILY kill final boss and farm that boss till you max your talent tree then jump into act 2 or just go straight to act 2 if you feel ready for it before maxing tree. Keep an eye on the shop. Finding the right gear will make you OP and in my experience the shop has had some super OP items that changed the game for me. Get all the gold you can by picking up as many items you can and selling them. I still like to collect the unique rares, I may also keep a few pieces for some other heroes i may want to use later but i generally sell almost EVERYTHING.

the game is in EARLY ACCESS people XD

buying the game in 2023[or early 24] and complaining about it not being finished , when the game is openly in EA and the devs said it would be likely 1.0 release in late 2024 , is peak entitlement issues XD

Act 2 has tougher mobs and is overall tougher than Act 1 but the bosses in Act 1 felt like they had tougher mechanics in my opinion.

i agree with the better drops and no reason to play act 1 again, but you must be tripping if you think act 2 is easier than act 1 just because you have better gear and loot.

some of the mobs on act 2 are brutal, like the rogue werewolves, "the cursed" boss fight, the cats, and the teleporting fire maidens.

I have to openly disagree. You have far more wiggle room with far less mob density. Some of the bosses are more annoying, but the mobs are far easier. I struggled with Act 1 for ages, and beat Act 2 first try with Act 1 gear.
