Worth it solo?

[Gugster]

I kinda want to play this game (havent bought it yet), im not watching gameplays or stuff cause i want to go in without knowing anything but i got no one to play this game with
Is it worth it solo? How is your solo experience so far?

[Jeembo]

It's probably a bit harder at first solo because you won't know what you're doing but eventually it will become easier solo because you will know what you are doing, you will know where to put the souls ect.

The discord is full of people willing to play, although it may help to get your feet wet a bit but yeah, the solo experience is really good, very viable & actually probably the easiest way other than running with other players that know what to do.

You have the right mindset with the blind play through. If you give it time you will be rewarded for sure :))

I feel like coop is more dynamic and interesting to an extent, very chaotic with randoms

As for solo, without the chaotic distractions of online play, you might find the game very repetitive and lacklustre, where issues of their design ideas stick out, because there's not much to distract from that.

I'm not personally enjoying the solo experience, which could also be because I'm slowly getting tired of the generic sandbox design these games have with resource gathering/crafting

If you're friends have it, try it for less than 2 hours and see if you're hooked, get a refund otherwise.

If you're purely solo then I probably wouldn't recommend it. it's fun with friends to figure out everything then do team speedruns, then solo in offtime when they aren't around.

There are multiple much better solo games and randoms in this one are so clueless it physically hurts.

Go for it if you have at least 1-2 friends to play with, otherwise I can't recommend it, gets boring fast, too content shallow, way too repetitive compared to any other rouge-like or coop I've played.

you do not need to limit your experience to solo only. the community is grown good enough that it is now possible to complete SAGA with random matchmaking with zero communication.

otherwise, it is also easy to find groups in either discord or the tribes steam play group chat.

completing it in solo is fun too. where you have to do everything yourself. kind of satisfying when you manage to do it.

all in all, good game, i would recommend getting it.

PS : coming from a perspective with all achievements done and 99 hours in-game, i like the game, so ya... have fun and hope to see u in midgard.

For me Solo is 10x better than group with randoms
I only play group with my friends

[Garou]

@Katitoff pretty much this it has a nice base to be updatet but it gets boring fast

[Boshedo]

I just picked it up a second ago. Finished the tutorial. The game is pretty fun. Just trying to figure it all out lol. Overall I have enjoyed it so far. Might be fun with friends.

The game gets pretty boring on Solo/Random Co-op... it's better to play with friends imo :\

Anybody up for teaming up with a new player at some point?

With friends / people using VC is definitely more fun. It feels waaay more rushed playing solo as your're the only one defending/gathering materials for your base. But it can get frustrating with randoms as anyone can pick up loot, for ex; I was running around the map opening chests and this dude was following me around picking up everything that was dropping, and in the same game everything I was storing in the storage was getting taken out by others which was not my intention but I guess was my fault.

Not sure if they updated this, but you also don't need to stay in the server to get all the rewards end-game. You can just jump into a server, do 5 minutes of work, leave the game, hop on the next day, and get all the rewards from how far they got.

I went ahead and joined the group. Would be nice to get players to play with as a new player. Someone who is patient I guess.

Game was intended to have 4 players, thats how the bosses are balanced, for 4 players. IF you go in solo youre just making it harder on yourself for no real reason.

many people will claim solo is easy if you "get gud", but thats a ridiculous statement. Solo is difficult and its meant to be difficult. you have to play a very exact playstyle in order to succeed at solo saga and i dont know why you would deny yourself the social experience by doing that, seems counter productive since this is meant to be a social tower defense type game

Solo has been, in my experience, much, much easier than co-op (2 player in particular). The saga difficulty scales poorly for two players, in my opinion. If you've had a bad map/RNG, you can still pull off a win at the eleventh hour when you're playing solo. But with two players and its wacky difficulty scaling.. the last giant that shows up before the endless nights start has so much health and damage resistance that two players would be hard pressed to kill it in time without the right elemental weapons, leaving no time to go after the saga boss.
