Demo Feedback

[Vuldar]

This game has a very vibrant and engaging world, an interesting story, and some really exciting mechanics that feel fun to play around with, but the demo has some serious flaws. I was enjoying my time exploring the area and discovering all the little resources I could pick up and mess around with, until I hit the final slug boss.

He was so difficult (high health + damage, persistent ranged attacks) that I highly doubt most players could beat him first try. Once you die, though, it gets even harder. Now you're down a large portion of your non-replenishable ammo and some durability on your non-repairable gear. After a couple of attempts I had no armor and nothing but raw materials to throw at him, but they did no real damage. At least put a station in the briefcase that can reset your armor and main weapon.

Overall I'm excited to see what this game offers, but the bizarre feeling of resource scarcity and high difficulty of the final boss in this demo worries me.

Hi Vuldar,
Thanks so much for your feedback! It’s especially valuable since you have a solid grasp of the slot-crafting mechanics, yet still encountered issues with the boss. We're continuing to fine-tune the balance of the game.

For a while, many players found the demo too easy, with some saying slot-crafting felt unnecessary because they could just bash through Snotty after each respawn using only the starting gear. It seems like in this version, we may have pushed the difficulty too far, especially with resetting his HP after each player respawns. We'll definitely reconsider that.

In the meantime, I’d recommend exploring the Sanctuary a bit more—there are quite a few slotted dishes scattered around, as well as two fresh sets of armor and a mace. Also, check out yesterday’s news post for tips on various ways to handle the slugs. :)
