Crossings

Looks nice with volumetric fog and the narration is a bonus. Other than that the core combat feels poor, and detection for blocking (especially against combos) can be iffy if it's not a vertical or horizontal slice. With how close you need to be to hit enemies it can be quite difficult to see where the telegraphed attacks are coming from (especially in quick-fire 3-4 hit combos from larger enemies). The best strat is to keep your distance until they've finished an attack and quickly apply the combo (which feels poor with how floaty the weapons are). Online co-op with a code did not work. Overall I guess it's only $10 but I'll just play something else. EDIT: I don't know what the point is to introduce the blocking mechanic when you make all the boss attacks for the troll boss unblockable. Having to turn my back and sprint away from the boss when he wheels up an attack is antithetical to the sort of gameplay promoted by the systems.

Honestly had a really fantastic time! First time playing I found another person who was definitely also new. We communicated well using only body language (Can I have this item? Are you sure? Thumbs up) (Did you want to use your arrows on them? etc) Definitely not a super populated game, we died and found each other again almost immediately. Since then I've done a full run and didn't find anyone, but the game itself is a treat. There are definitely some jank issues (the club will often fail to register hits if you swing it too fast. Enemies if they're slightly elevated above you are hard to block and bosses can kinda get all up in your face when you're trying to get combos off on them). But I personally feel that these little issues don't take away from the experience too much. The game as a roguelike doesn't have extreme depth or anything, but the later, higher level spells you can get are cool. With a few more items and spells and more players, this has the potential to be phenomenal!

The game is fun, but there's a big BUT. There's no save - it's a roguelite and you play until you die. So I played in co-op with my friend and we played a single run for around 2,5 hours until we died not because of difficulty, but because we were exhausted with all the weapon swinging. But, like I said, the game is fun, and we really liked the gameplay loop, so these over 2 hours went really fast. You fight enemies, find new weapons, upgrade your perks and skills, beat the final boss, and the environment changes to a new one with tougher enemies, you find weapons with higher tiers, you further upgrade your perks and get new ones. There's a lot of weapon swinging. You can compare the fighting system to Until You Fall - you don't see the lines how to attack, but you can block enemy swings with your weapon, and it's directional. You also need to use combos to fight efficiently - every weapon has a different combo, for example you swing from bottom left to upper right, then from right to left. The combos are between 2 and 4 swings. Some weapons have additional combos with elemental elements, so you can use more than one combo per weapon. You can also find and carry health and mana potions, and there are potions that temporarily enhance your weapon with elementals. You also have a bow with very limited number of arrows, and you can find elemental arrows. The game is really good, but I wish we could save a co-op game after beating a boss and load it again another day with a friend. That's basically the only big issue. Other than that, there could be more variety in enemies, it would improve replayability. And it seems that you have to grind a lot if you want to get enough currency to buy some cosmetics, but it's only for other people to see it when you play co-op.

Как ни странно довольно медитативная игра! Идешь в тумане вечном и периодически попадаешь на костры и аванпосты с монстрами (3 вида пока нашел монстров) но играл мало, не совсем представляю для нее кооп. !? Она слишком медленная для него. мало маневра. вообщем поживем увидим. Боевка не плохая, даже лучше чем в начале БЕГИМОТ , наш Бахамут. Кто писал что блок сложный, не знаю он интуитивен , легко блокировать все комбо врага! при чем блок ударом тоже есть!! Истерично руками не машите просто:))) За что ПЛЮС МАгия , три начальных и потом много разных видов, все жестами!!! что плюс !! , шаровых , гроз и прочей радости для мага, попутно берешь амулеты на различные бафы, восстановление манныи т.д. , она сама не восстановиться, в общем раздолье, манны мало но и врагов не толпы! Покупка шмота не придавал значению, может и со статами, сори... три вида оружие , топоры мечи , палицы(булавы) и ЛУКИ и того пока нашел 5ть:)) разные характеристики, RPG составляющую завезли:) Иногда плыла камера, играл сидя , может что не так было, винить не могу никого! ОГРОМНЫЙ лайк разработчику, за бег по кнопке (А), хоть кто то додумался пожалеть геймпады!!!! как первую игру или когда, как у меня, уже все лучшее и даже больше куплено, МОЖНО БРАТЬ!. РУССКОГО языка нет, это минус и минус в копилку, Автор наверное не знает что ру ЯЗык знают почти все в СНГ , а не только россия. Украина с радостью играет на русском!!!

So far pretty fun, though I've only gotten past the first couple of bosses. It's reasonably intense, but not too crazy, the weapons and spells mostly feel good to use, and enemies are decently quick and pretty dangerous. Only complaints so far is I've had a bit of trouble getting the homing spells to cast, and I wish there was two-handed weapons. Will update my review as I get further in.

Melee weapons constantly collide with seemingly invisible obstacles. Otherwise seems okay, but I'll be setting this aside until some patches roll out.

The game is simple, but very addictive. I honestly did not expect that I would like it this much. The gestures and strike patterns are a cool addition, and the game makes you actually swing your weapon, no wriggling about. Mechanically, it reminds me a bit of Until You Fall, but with magic. You have to learn to block and parry, and learn the attackers' patterns to advance. It doesn't vibe well with Virtual Desktop (yet), and has some stutters, but Airlink and Steamlink worked perfectly fine for me. I have one bigger gripe, which is the lack of a save system, so if you exit VR during your run, the run is finished and you will have to start over. Not a deal breaker for me, but that would very much still be a nice to have. :-)
