Death's Toll

This is fun

I really want to like this game, but as it is right now, it's really hard to get behind. It still needs a lot of work. So many concepts are unexplained or not fleshed out enough like trinkets being basically useless, also there's no way to know what a trinket does unless you stumble upon it in a random store or something. The hunger and thirst goes down way too fast with there being barely any way to get food to avoid dying. Every monster ticks down one heart out of three, so it is very unbalanced. I only made it to the second biome once out of the several runs I did, and dreaded even trying to go through it because I knew I wasn't going to last. The main threat is always close by, so the sleeping mechanic is basically useless too, I can always get one, maybe two hours of sleep before the monster shows up, and then I'm met with dozens of bad effects on my character. The controls are very clunky, and don't even bother trying to play multiplayer, it is so confusing trying to make it work. You only start with three classes, and it is unclear how to get the currency to unlock anything, so every run feels the same and repetitive. The different personalities in the character creator serve no purpose and is unexplained. There is a very small variety in character creation. I believe this game has potential to be something great, but as of right now, it really needs some work, and the positive reviews do not help because they're just "ha ha, funny meme in game." All in all, please continue to update and fix the mechanics to make it actually playable.
