How Good?

[Mikkon]

If I am on a budget rn. How good would yous say this game is content wise. Would like to just get it. but need to be conscious about games I'm buying now.

Endgame is very beafy with a lot of grind. I'm sitting at around 100 hours so far, and while I'm not the most efficient with my grind as I've been taking time to play with my friends, I'm sitting at 2 fully awakened Terminus Weapons out of 19. It's a grind, and if a fun action RPG combat with a grind of an endgame interests you, then I highly recommend this. It's been hard for me to play other games since this came out.

It's pretty fun to play with friends don't buy the dlc though
Story is solo though so you gotta do that first

might not be a bad idea to wait for discount if money is rough

GOTY contender (and it is still February). story's very well written; updates are planned for every month it seems, starting on next march (there are free and paid updates content).

keep in mind this is not your typical open world anime MMORPG (genshin etc.), ig it's kinda semi-open world? you can explore the town(s) and few dungeons during and after the story, but after the main story is done you'll spend 99% of your time farming quest (usually a boss so you teleport to the boss' chamber)

to max up all currently available characters (build wise), could take solid 800-1.5k hours with current content

some ppl said it's monhun but anime but idk i'm not playing monhun

Story is a fun 10-15 hours with zero filler. Gives you a good idea of what to expect later.

It took me about an additional 100 hours to beat the final quest in the game (for now). I've still got more I want to do though. I haven't tried all the characters yet and I don't have everything I want for my favorites either.

There are additional bosses and harder versions of who you fight during the story that unlock after you beat the story. Difficulty increases at a steady rate the deeper you go.

Most quests consist of dropping into an area and beating up a boss or horde of monsters.

Besides gathering the materials you need to upgrade your characters you'll also be collecting many types of sigils which offer various offensive, defensive or utility stat boosts for your characters. Sigils can also drop with a random second bonus, which is neat because characters only have so many sigil slots. If you want to min-max your builds then I think you can see the appeal of getting a high rarity sigil with two bonuses that you like.

There's even some rare weapons you can grind for from the final boss of the game if you want.

This game ticks a lot of boxes for me. It's got a good selection of unique characters each with different playstyles, fun diverse boss fights, great combat and interesting loot to tinker with. Overall I think this will be one of the best ARPGs to release this year.

GOTY contender? I'm loving the game, don't get me wrong, but you're crazy lol

Network is bad.
Camera handling is bad.
Lock-on is bad.

Combat is good.
Challenge is good.
Story is good.

[Sleempreem]

Game is fun, the combat is rly good and the amount of characters is nice. It is very much a grind game where you'll be doing the same fights over and over in the endgame. Imo I would wait for a few updates and maybe a sale if I where you. The game has fun endgame fights, but it really feels like the game needs 5 more endgame fights for bit of variety as of now.

The story is the best part but only lasts ~35 hours. After that is an "endless" grind of the same crap to upgrade your characters. If you can enjoy that then it's worth it.

[Slynx Jewel]

you finish the short single player story and then you grind multiplayer.
which is basically a session-based coop if you don't like people you can grind it with AI companions.
overall the game is great is you like these types of games

[ARCHAENON]

Camera, networking & lock on are horrible.
The story is serviceable, it’s generic anime.
The characters generally fun.
Visually nice.
Combat is fun, Y’s like.

Depending on your skill level the game is either laughably easy or incredibly hard. Personally being a MH /Y’s vet I found Proud to be pretty easy.

Repetitive boss fights.
Terminus grind locked to one fight.
Very short story, 10 hours max.
Endgame could be better, not bad.
Worth the money overall.
GOTY it is not, but I like it.

It depends on what you’re looking for in a game, I can recommend it but it’s not a deep game combat/gear/skill wise but it’s enjoyable to play.

Maybe he meant Grind Of The Year

[Shakja]

Definitely no GOTY contender, but it's an incredibly fun time sink. Especially, when you like games like Monster Hunter and similar games

The story is no where near 35 hours unless you are including chapter 0 or whatever it is but that is more or less post story content just introducing you to the end game grind content.

the actual story is only 10-15 hours with watching all cut-scenes and dialogue.

Full game length wise (Including the end game grind) depending on how much you want to do it could be 50+ hours to a few hundred.

I was around 53 hours in when i had 1 character pretty much finished. Terminus weapon fully awaken + all the sigils I wanted etc.

After that it is more or less just grinding to get the other characters their weapons. that could easily add dozens of hours each.

Do you like the monster hunter gameplay loop? The game is basically monster hunter but with flashy anime style with a party but differently from god eater. The story is fine and simple and visually incredible. And the endgame loop is addicting and fun which you can do solo or coop. Co-op more recommended at harder difficulty. For bang for your buck theres a lot here and its getting content updates
