Kiting simulator?

[NathanXS]

Is there anything more to the combat that im not seeing? no matter what character im playing, im doing exactly the same thing no matter the enemies or location:

- pull large amount of enemies
- kite back
- spam aoe attacks
- Repeat

Is this all there is? its getting boring rather quickly and the upgrades take ages to get.

Unfortunately I think that's just the name of the game. If you use a strong enough character then you can just rush through most weaker levels but once you get to the harder stages for what your character can handle, you already named the game-play loop. Slight changes depending on what Trinkets you get and set effects. You certainly could get broken combos that give you tons of damage or Health, armor, resistances, etc.

Its a great game but not for you.

I'm trying to think of an action rpg that isn't precisely that.

Game feels like it's one step forward, two steps back.

I'm sick of going through the same areas over and over and over.

Welcome to a linear roguelike/roguelite game?

You can rub your face into enemies and be tanky with Paladin, some things you wont want to rub into tho, it is what it is.

You unlock area that lets you skip beaten zones rather early.

Yes, you forgot also the combo-sustain mechanic (i.e. everyone running around on his/her own like headless chickens to keep the kill-count steady) for the braindead. They improved the (co-op) gameplay by adding actual skill, thinking -doh-, synergies and a slower, more tactical approach in HW2, and by removing that combo crap, but the community just wanted Tha Spam so they butchered HW2 with stupid reviews forcing Crackshell doing another brainless yawn.

You unlock a shortcut every time you beat a boss.

Before entering the cave, there is a large group of goblin around a altar/stump you can't access at first. After beating the first boss, the "fence" disappear and you can kill them and skip caves.
