Campaign is 6-9 hour ish, fun but very very short especially given all the 40k lore out there.

PVE is repeating the same 6 maps over and over, while exp is insanely slow and lobbies often dont fill up with 3 players but 2. So theres not much variety after playing that a few times. WWZ had way more maps on launch.

PVP is fun but extremely bad balanced, Bulwark has a 100% shield block and lagg of enemy players has a HUGE impact, you litterly die behind walls. PVP also doesn't have a report system and cheaters get unlimited nades.

I dont think this game is worth 60-70 euro's atm, but more like 40. For a fantasy world with the BIGGEST lore fantasy, i expected more content, not in a drip feed way which they seem to be doing.

Update 15 september, match making still doesn't always work, PVE lobbies dont fill up.

Almost finished the game and would definitely recommend it. 7/10.

The reason for a 7 is that it can feel kinda wonky fighting some bosses, especially with the camera and hitboxes. There are also a few area's, especially the ''prison'' area that are just made to be annoying instead of difficult or fun.

But it's good fun for the mythology and has a looooot of gear to unlock, definitely worth the price. Probably takes about 35-40 hours to complete, including doing some side quests.

As much as i enjoy the idea of this game I would not recommend it.

Its definitely not made for new players because everybody who is still playing is a veteran with the best maxed out units and best doctrines (buffs to units).

If you do manage to get the strong/meta units it can take weeks untill they are max level... The exp gain in this game is 100% made to drag out the leveling of units.

PVE in this game does not exist either, because the Bandit Raid that you get good exp from is capped to 5 times per week, which you complete in 20 minutes, all of them.

In the 5 seasons that I have played i have not seen significant changes to improve the game drasticly in PVP, PVE or Exp gain. It feels like the seasons are pushed with new units and battle pass every few months just to keep the cash of money flowing. But you wont get any actual changes back, besides the new units, that you can p2w to get or grind weeks for to unlock.

Yes this game had/has some server issues due to their massive success.

But spreading democracy and freedom is so much fun! The change to 3rd person was a gamble for them but they nailed it.

The devs actually care and showed me what a Quadripple AAAA game is, even for such a low price.

My first impressions review:

The good:
- Plays very smooth
- Very unique idea of roguelike and tower defence
- Has a nice balance of being difficult and fun

The bad:
- Co-op isn't 100% shared, you're just a guest (they devs said they would change it but we have to see)
- Havent seen a wide variety of weapons yet, not every character can use every weapon.
- Lacks variety in general. weapons, chars, abilities, random mobs. Its either no enemies or enemies behind a door.

What REALLY annoyed me was:
One particular debuff that can happen in the last map, where you wont get ANY resources for opening doors. Meaning the the core gameplay of opening doors for resources, they designed, they also just destroy because of that debuff? Makes no sense... Maybe half it? But take away your OWN core gameplay by not giving ANY resources for opening doors in the LAST MAP?

The idea of the game is great, but i really feel like it's not a 30 euro game, more like 15 euro. Compared to other roguelike i really miss more variety of RNG, more variety of builds and weapons and more characters, or at least the characters having wide variety of abilities. Its fun, but i don't see myself investing 40+ hours into this game compared to similair genre games. You're really starting to miss that RNG and variety after a few rounds.

I cant recommend this right now, maybe after a year of content updates and a proper co-op.

What a MASTERPIECE! The emotional choices you have to make and the stories you go through are phenomonal. Thats on top of the amazing graphics and cinematic audio. This is honestly one of the best games i have ever played and is utterly mindblowing.

20/10

This game was a gift and WHAT A TREAT. It gives the whole roguelike genre a different angle by running your own shop in between dungeons and I thorougly enjoyed it. The hack and slash is very fun, but the fact you run through dungeons and then can make thousands because of your hard earned items.. SATISFYING.

If you like hack and slash, roguelike and always wanted to have your own shop to see cash roll in. I'd definitely recommend it.

Best game i've ever played when it comes to FPS the gameplay is just amazing!
