I only got like maybe 4 hours of fun from and game progression in this game when it launched, and I haven't heard of any development within the past year. There currently isn't enough content to make the game worth getting at the current state, and you'll get 100% unlocks way too quickly. However the fundamental gameplay mechanics is very fun and if you ever played the F Zero genre you will get very similar vibes to both F Zero X and GX, just it's noticeably in the Early Access phase and has been just about 0 communication or lack of updates since apart 1 small one back in July. If this game ever does get the out of EA phase I plan to revisit it, and if there's enough content I'll change my review then to most likely a positive one.

Beaten the game, here's the main issues I had with it compared to Hollow Knight:

- Not enough of the main currency is spread out in the game, benches requires a starting fee of Rosaries, and too many spam of the secondary currency instead which is way to easy to obtain and is only for tools.

- 1 hit damage basically only exists within the first 2 hours of the game, so have fun basically only having half health later, everything does 2 hit damage.

- Difficulty needs to be tweaked in some areas, Both Bilewaters and the Ice place wasn't fun because of the acid and cold mechanic were both awful to deal with. If you don't know where to go right away in the cold area, or you make one mistake in platforming, it's automatic damage, and possibly death for you. The acid mechanic, makes it so you can't heal, unless you used your heal at least once, and then refill silk back up again, on top of that they spam re-spawning exploding enemies in that area.

- Died to a boss? Have fun backtracking to it for 2 - 5 minutes for each attempt to fill unnecessary padding, this is the case for MOST bosses.

Currently only 7% of Silksong owners on Steam has completed the game, I don't see this going up by a whole lot anytime soon unless Team Cherry made some changes, this game requires heavy patience's and determination which I don't see many will have. They're some moments in the game that is genuinely really enjoyable but all the pain and complaints I have sadly outweigh them, don't play this game play Hollow Knight instead if you haven't yet.

Misleading, made me think it was game content. If you want to purchase music then this would be fine for you, but if you were here for extra in game content this doesn't do that.

Really fun game, highly addicting! The only thing I will say is that it could use a few QoL improvements, nothing too urgent, just some stuff which could be updated to the game overtime based on player feedback. (I'll provide them overtime within their discord).

What is this game, how would I explain it in my own words? Drop Duchy is a hybrid of Tetris, Deck building, and Rogue-lite in one. The maps and placement of tiles is Tetris like, get through 3 Acts carving your own path of combat levels which will make the bosses of each act easier, or to go with exploration levels where the whole purpose is to build up as much resources you can possibly can to gain. While completing rows gives you resource bonuses, and if you complete multi-rows you can get an even greater bonus, the amount of depth in this game quickly shows you that going for them is not always your best move in different variation of scenarios. Whenever it's based on your cards you choose throughout your adventure, or to work your way around military building pieces with abilities that will create obstacles for you to overcome and plan accordingly.

Game is cheap, worth it's price, pick it up for sure!

The game is really fun, and they been making right with the problems with the servers, challenges, XP, Twitch Drops and more they been having at launch by granting 1500 BP credits to everyone and working tirelessly overtime to get these issues fixed for everyone. I hope those who were upset with the issues that it faced will give the game another chance and change their review.

On top of it not being fun, controller sensitivity is too much, placing traps down feels harder than the classic games, combat was way too hard for only 2 players, and maps are too opened with very few options to block pathways...

Multiplayer is still live and kicking, worth picking up during a sale if you just wanna revisit the multiplayer or to play it for the first time! Controller Support Mod exists too, if you wanna play it on controller.

How the heck you even get anywhere in this game when you can literary get killed by your first encounter, and the resting system heals so awfully slow, that you're bound to die eventually anyways! I haven't even ran into a player, just all the npcs do too much damage!

Don't get the game right now until they fix the issues. No matter what your specs are on PC many have encountered massive stuttering problems including myself, game has memory leaks the longer you play, and without performance mods this was literary impossible for me to play later on in the game. I'm able to find the game enjoyable only thanks to nexusmods making it playable for me, if you have a Playstation 5, get the game on there instead since it was better optimized there, to save yourself possible headaches. Great game but bad port so far. I'll change my review once they fix it.

I STRONGLY don't recommend this DLC. The negatives outweights the pros, with annoying effects like Entangement being much more common with the new enemies they give us, and Jungle Rot with no items giving you immunities against them, and only able to cure Entanglement through very few weapons, and panax's for Jungle Rot (Which won't appear in most towns btw) it gets really annoying quickly. You already have to deal with rng rolls, it's not fun having to run into these enemies that can make these happen to you on turn one basically...
