How's the AI?
Saw some gameplay footage and was underwhelmed by what I saw, regarding enemy AI. Would like to hear from game owners on this. Is it challenging you at all? Thanks in advance.

I'm digging the game quite a bit. But the AI is definitely one of the very weak spots. That said, the game is still hard by the mechanics. Not by quality AI.

Game AI isn't bad as they claim. Its scaled to difficulty... as in if you play on easy as most of the cry babies do, than it'll just stand there and do nothing to let you win. Turn it up and see what happens. Me and my buds never play at what would be considered even normal and have had a blast so far.

Here is an awesome review of the game from someone who put a good amount of hours into it.

The AI is dumber than a sack of bricks.

This. The AI does seem a little dumb at times, but it definitely gets better and more aggressive at higher difficulty.

Do NOT judge this game based on the Skill Up review. It's a garbage review and I don't believe for a second that the guy actually played the game. The Fextralife review is closer to reality.

The AI is unacceptably bad. You can shoot them from 50 feet away and they just stand there talking to each other as arrow after arrow hits them. You can do this until they die.
Even after you agro, if you go more than 20 feet away they turn around and walk back to where they came from, again while you shoot them with arrows.

Even if I charge in with my archer, I can often shoot them a half dozen times from 10 feet away before they do anything. It is seriously bad. If I had bought this game I would be pissed right now, luckily I got it on Xbox Game Pass. There is no way this game should have been released as is.

Hes playing on easy, (you can tell when he takes any hits and the fact that it doesn't take HP almost at all) the AI just stands there to let him win... Scaling limits the AIs abilities, responses, animations, so that he can win.

The AI is still pretty braindead at higher levels. I was level 1 and got tossed into a group with lvl 8-10 players. I never had to hit block, most of the dodging was due to martyr enemies. It took a lot more hits to take down enemies but it was just easy pummelling on them and not giving them time to attack. If you want to cheese the game, you can do so easily. At any difficulty you can just toss ranged attacks and the enemies won't do squat.

Yes it is.

That shouldn't just "Disable" it; that's just an example of many of the many bugs and errors with the AI- that applies regardless of what difficulty it's on.

Can you like, just post footage of that scaled "better" AI?

Nah, he played on a bunch of the difficulties. I watched his stream for a while.

I mean, he doesn't recommend the game until they update it. He's actually streaming it still today.


They seemed to have patched the AI already and its noticable for certain enemies. Which is great.

I think the game has potential if they fix the issues. Its too bad the game had to release this buggy, I always look forward to ARPG games going all the way back to my hype for CON:Return to Arms for the PS2.
