Day of the Shell

The game is great, the mechanics, the probabilities (whether you hit a shot or not, it makes it feel like risk and reward in some cases), but I feel the difficulty is too high, and when you reach the first boss you often arrive with few skills or upgrades, the first boss becomes a wall that prevents you from advancing (and I understand the reason that it's a boss, that it doesn't have to be easy, but the difficulty takes a huge turn), and it puts you at a great disadvantage for the following reasons: it's a field full of enemies, plus the boss has a lot of health, and the boss gives the minions a shield in one turn, which makes the fight long, and you have an 80% chance of losing. Besides the fact that there comes a point in the boss fight where you have no way to protect yourself because the environment is destroyed, leaving you exposed and sometimes taking unfair damage, something that would be great is creating different attack patterns or the same boss with different sets of attacks, so it doesn't become repetitive. I don't know much about programming and that kind of thing, but fixing that boss would greatly improve the ability to continue. I've sometimes quit the game because reaching that boss without certain skills or passive abilities that are good for fighting it, and having some that don't benefit me, makes reaching it feel unfair (do you understand?). Another thing, when you reach the second level or world, the enemies start having a lot of health and appear in droves, multiplying the difficulty. I feel it would be great to add more actions or possibilities to be able to face it, since the enemies have a lot of health and the player has little, and that's just talking about the initial part. Because perhaps later in the game this will become easier by unlocking passive or active abilities, but it gets somewhat tedious... This is my opinion, and perhaps it won't be taken into account or will be overlooked. Your game is very good, it has many things going for it, but it becomes somewhat repetitive with these issues, which are more about adjusting the difficulty and polishing certain aspects. I hope this feedback is helpful. Thank you very much for your attention.

Je ne sais pas si c'est que le jeu est devenu plus dur au fil des mises à jours, mais j'ai commencé il y a peu, et j'ai plus tôt bien aimé. Il m'a fallu environs 10/15h pour finir le jeu, j'ai trouvé le jeu parfois injuste et frustrant (l'impression que le nombre et les % des ennemis est parfois ridicule et déséquilibré, quand je rate mon seul shoot à 70/90%, quand je peux tirer sur les 3/4 tours que je passe à esquiver les nombreux monstres, et que je m'en prends 3 à 10/15% dans le même niveau,...). C'est vrai que c'est dommage qu'on finisse par ne jouer qu'avec une ou deux armes (et qu'on doive les tirer aléatoirement + bénédiction), car les autres valent pas trop le coup, que devoir farmer les runes/orbes c'est assez redondant, et que le jeu n'a pas une énorme rejouabilité. Mais pour une petite équipe de production et pour le prix, ça reste un jeu sympa.

Excelente juego

Tried to insist as much as I could but in the end a nice gameplay is plagued by terrible progression systems, poor variety of weapons and metaupgrades and repetitive enemies. I hate feeling like the game does not give you at least a chance to win it early on despite how good you play. In roguelikes you have to at least "trick" the player making them think they can beat the entire game with almost no upgrades. This is not the case here. At the beginning of the game you are so ridiculously weak that reaching the first boss is itself an achievement. But then you think "oh, but this is normal for a roguelike is it not, Remy?". Not when you get peanuts for metaprogression. You do not feel like you are actually progressing in this game. It feels simply like you are going for one more blue crystal farming session and thats it. Oh and may I add you are restricted to like 4 weapons the entire game? 4 guns man. I know Americans with more guns stored in their bathroom than that. I must admit that the gameplay is nice and the visuals are cute but at the end of the day there is just much better stuff out there for you to invest your money. I commend the effort for trying to make a XCOMlike Roguelike but this definitely needed more timem on Early Access. Maybe try it for yourselves on a huuuuge sale (cannot stress enough how huge it should be) but after more than 7 hours I saw enough to know this is definitely not for me.

good mechanics, I'm enjoying it. The enemy difficulty jumps are a bit steep

Jeu au tour par tour innovant, fait par des gens passionnés. Le level design est vraiment top !

Почему после получения кинжала у меня отобрали ружье!? Игра хорошая, но я лишился любимого оружия
