Basically Unbeatable

[Skinii]

Flew through the first plane in about an hour and it was fun. Got halfway through Aether plane and suddenly its not even close to being beatable. Stuck on docks with nothing but choke points and nothing but a pistol. Who thought 70+ enemies in tight corridors within 30 seconds was a good idea? GG guess im done.

I am stuck on Arkham Alleys, Aether level. Screen is immediately filled with bullet sponges (always a BAD design for a shooter). Seems unbeatable to me. And game REFUSES to give me a decent weapon and thus give me an actual chance.

I feel a bit let down now, since aside from playing Survival mode, I've put maybe 3.5 hours into the Planes and feel like there's no point struggling to continue, really. I enjoyed playing through the Normal plane though.

I feel the same. If I could get my money back, I would.

I don't think that the game is too hard. I got all the way to eldrich difficulty with minimal deaths. Spend crystals in tp charges.

An upcoming patch will reduce monster health (especially in aether / eldritch) and reduce time to spawn the first weapon.

Awesome - I'll give that a shot - thanks!

I've now uploaded an update to BETA branch. It includes balance changes, some bug fixes and Weapon Lock feature (keep reload button pressed for about a second, and small lock icon appears next to your gun). Please let me know if it helps with the balance.

The game is so much fun - I played so much this weekend. It's very hard at points, but i've been able to overcome eventually. it's one of those, "...just one more try..." type games. You'll get your money's worth for sure.

The Beta is fantastic. The change to difficulty was 100% needed and the game just became amazing fun again for me. Thanks devs!

that's what you get for relying on science.

The 'weapon lock' is a god send. So many times i didnt see the lonely shotgun in my path and got screwed.

[DOZAH]

well, someday science will theorize that it could actually build something properly for once.

'till then, i'll be shaking in my shoes.

I remember you. You’re that troll who goes to random games and talks utter nonsense lol.

This one was pretty hilarious though http://steamcommunity.com/app/489140/discussions/0/1635237606655964573/#c2595630410187063504

I beated the game yesterday. indeed some levels were a pain but a bit of a luck in perks and a weapon drop and it became easy. for me the aether and eldirich lovecraft fight was underwhelming, I was hoping that at least in the elderich fight we will have all kinds of enemies jumping at us, not just the same as before.

Just go to Options -> Display -> Performance and adjust camera distance. I've set it to be more like in Crimsonland, and the game feels totally different. Flew through Eldritch in a couple of hours after that.
