Grind to 50 is real

[Keluric]

I have all the achievements, except this one. I really thought it would have happened before the Easy/Hard ones, but its such a slog I needed to do something else and went after the other achievements.

There might need to be some other way to get more points per run other than gear and relics which are few and far between. Maybe an upgrade that makes these items work significantly better, that way they don't speed up normal progression overly, but in 'end game' they can be taken on a run to speed things up some.

Other than that, all the new tweaks are great! I really like the new custom deck feature.

Im still enjoying the game, after i completed all the buildings i did each characters hard mode achievement, got about 7 levels to go and 1 legendary relic to unlock. I probably wont get bored until i have to do the characters easy mode achievements lol. Still discovering cool things tbh, only just found out in a recent cultist run how good improvised means is with weak spot. Especially if you get lucky with some draw cards like hip throw, sometimes using weakspot 3-4 times in one turn.

50 is rough. I'm at 40 now and my last 9 runs have been completely mindless. Once you unlock enough buildings you really don't need to think much about your actions past insuring you have enough defense up. I took a break to do the hard achievements earlier on to try and break up the grind to 50, but still have the 3 easy ones left over.

I have been doing odd personal goals to keep it interesting. This last run I did custom detective with pets. I had two dogs and a crow for the final fight 😎

I'll leave a few updates/months pass to hopefully finish the campaign 100% with more challenges. Don't want to burn out this marvelous game early on!

Ouch. I just beat Cthulhu, on my 10th run, and even with that +5,000 Fear bonus I'm only up to level 25. And every level takes more and more.

Yeah, it must be quite a grind.

As an achievement hunter how hard is this Game? I beat the boss in the demo the first run, but failed hard in the second run. I usually don't play these kind of Games because I am bad at them, and it would annoy me if I buy it and am stuck with low achievements because I can't progress...

After completing the building and unlock every item, getting both extra fear equipment and relic is pretty easy, and on average it gives 4k fear per run. I was pretty slow in campaign and by the end of campaign I was already level 40 so it's not really that bad of a grind

Clocked in at 64 in game hours but I'd estimate the actual time needed to 100% is about 30 hours

Easy for someone experienced with these kind of Games, or easy in general? Maybe for refernce: Slay the Spire I suck at and did not have a good time with that Game. Inscrytion I loved and 100% it...

Easy in general. It's only hard for the first couple runs since you don't have any unlocks. The progression is straight forward and you don't need to do any specific thing for the achievements

Sounds good to me. I don't mind the hard at the beginning and getting easier over time, because I am used to that type of Gameplay from Souls-Games. Will put it on my wishlist and as soon as I finished some of my backlog I will give it a go...
Thanks for the replies.

Block is stronger in this game, card removal is stronger in this game, and therefore its easier to have a strong deck, you also have abilities, another thing is that, even if you start out with weak cards, they passively level up so you dont end up with a bunch of weak cards in the deck unless you get lucky with a relic or event. This game is easier than sts in many ways.
