This is a game that is just an enjoyable experience. It has the mentality of "it's about the journey, not the destination" built into the bones of it because whether you play it alone or with friends, it is just a fun journey. It isn't perfect, can be frustrating at times and doesn't always explains what you are suppose to do to progress but that doesn't hurt it to much since it then makes you explore to find more answers. It is like going back to a childhood home, meeting up with an old friend you haven't seen in years, or even just visiting a place you loved as a kid. At least that is how I feel about this game.

Just remember, you may not make it to the end but at least you made some memories of your journey so go out, explore and make your mark. And maybe a few holes too.

Ok look. I like this game but can not honestly recommend it. Not right now. First things first, the game has a few major balance issues with enemies and the skulls you can get. All of them are fun except for the couple that are borderline useless but the most powerful and use full skulls are the shield skull, since he can let you take more damage, the alchemist for his passive and the archlich for his passive. Now that doesn't mean they will win you the game but they are the easiest to use because of how this game swarms you with enemies.

Speaking of enemies, more enemies doesn't mean harder. It can just get to be annoying. For example There are several rooms where it drops you into a room where the entire floor below you is just covered in enemies. It can put you in a situation where you are losing health for no reason other than the amount of enemies around you. Then there are the maids. Look, I just wish they had a little less health or make it so you could have a few more options to deal with them since they are a spawner basically.

Look, I know this game can be great and its fun but the big thing is you just need to make a few tweaks and polish it up. I also do know new content is coming and I am super excited for it but please, if you read this, please do give up on this. It is fun and has a lot of potential, So yeah, good luck.

Edit: Oh! My! Bloody! God!
First of, this is the full release? This is how the game is meant to be? Great. ♥♥♥♥ anyone who is trying to get into these types of games. I at least like these types and oh boy do I still not recommend it to veterans of the genre unless they are masochistic.

So to start, let's give the devs some credit. The awaken mechanic is decent. I like the thought put in but there are some issues that I will cover later. I also love the cut scenes. They look amazing and I love the little extra character they add to the world. The random skeletons are also a great touch. I also love the new Yggdrasil fight. The old one was way to slow and repetitive so good job. Oh and the fact that you can tell if an enemy is stun resistant is great.

Now for the reasons why I edited this and still don't recommend this game. It feels like you took a step forward and then jumped a mile backwards. First off, why did you think buckling down on the idea that more enemies is a good idea. Filling a room with 30 knights doesn't make it good, just boring and repetitive and the outline that shows they won't be can get covered by other enemies. It feels like some of the damage isn't the players fault and that is a major mood killer for games like this. If a player feels like they are being punished for playing, then they won't play. Also I found a bug that the ninja enemy's attack comes out before the attack animation happens. Also, let's touch on the awakening problem before I forget. Why does it cost so much just to awaken any skull? You get around 10 bones from one that costs 30 to upgrade so why not just let it be half?

If this game gets more love and attention and you fix the enemy problems, I might recommend this game. I just wouldn't recommend it in its current form. Thanks for reading.

I love this game just not snecko. ♥♥♥♥ snecko. Otherwise its fun and mostly balanced.

Great game and better with friends. A nice challenge for anyone.

Good game. Even after 11 years.
