EverSiege: Untold Ages

Oh man this game, So it's a single player MOBA PvE experience with tower defense and economy management. There are a bunch of different build path options and playstyles so you're not just locked into something. I sincerely hope that this game continues getting development because honestly just adding a wargear or an essence adds so much more replay value. I haven't touched multiplayer since that seems to be where most of the negatives come from. If you get stuck while unlocking everything I recommend just turning off the distortions until you unlock things and then are able to go back and clear. All in all I hope this game gets updates for a long time, it has the potential to be one of my favourite games if it does

Terrible onboarding, I think. The game does not nearly emphasize that you should not try to do everything on the map. You need to specialize and quickly. It is very much a single player MOBA. There's less fighting other champions and more defeating a raid boss. A lot of replay value, procedurally generated maps, hero loadout customization. And the RNG of your rewards enforce different viable builds during the run itself.

this game is addictive amazing work of art

Great game with superb mechanics. Perfect cross between a MOBA and a rougelite

Great game, fun tower defence-ish game with added things to do

Its a solo/2 player co-op moba, you defend your base, farm, build stuff, then you go kill 2 bosses and win. Level up some meta-progression stuff, increase difficulty, repeat. Overall I recommend it, but prepare for a rocky road. This game jank and unbalanced, but addictive and fun. There are a ♥♥♥♥ ton of systems interacting with each other (mostly fine). You have to plan ahead and multitask. You have a soft time limit of 7 days (8x7=56 real time minutes). Every night, a giant army comes to destroy your base, if you lose it, you lose. There are also regular small ways of friendly and enemy units. In the meantime, you farm the woods, there are mobs of varying difficulty with different rewards. There are 2 additional bosses in the woods. The leveling is roguelite. Every level, you choose a perk, every crystal looted gives a choice of stat boosts, the same thing with potions and artifacts. Every day you choose a quest and a global buff for your base. You can also build towers and units to protect your base, buildings to increase your stats, etc. There are also gold mines in the woods you can clear and upgrade. There are also quests, various helpful buildings in the woods, etc. The map is procedurally generated, bosses, enemy units, neutral creeps and bosses are randomized. They also have different element enchantments. It's quite replayable. There are also random things happening like natural disasters. There are 7 playable heroes, you can customize with 7 elements (2 at a time), heroes have 3 skills, you take 3 more from the elements, and also 3 passives from a big pool. Rest of passives you get through the game. Graphics are fine, not too fancy, not too distracting. Sound effects and music are fine. There is a voiced narrator, I muted her because she was annoying. The plot of this game is one big sentence long. Not the focus of the game. Controls are not intuitive. The default control scheme is clunky as ♥♥♥♥. I recommend using the "Direct control" and "Hold to walk" options. Walk with WASD, Auto attack is RMB, aim auto attack is LMB. This way you can control your character, move, avoid void zones, and attack simultaneously. Release the attack button to start running to dodge, then press it again right after. Good things about this game is planning and multitasking. You have to farm, defend your base, and build stuff simultaneously. The leveling is fun and rewarding, you can build a monster with 30 attacks per second and kill a final boss in 3 seconds. Bad things: there's no balance, and some things are clearly better than others. That applies both to you and enemies. Heroes, elements, artifacts, potions, buildings, jungle creeps, modifiers, etc. They can be OP or terrible. You can win with anything you like, but it can be 10 times less effective. So if you're not emotionally attached to your build, try to shake some things up. Some world objectives are worthless, and you'd better just skip them. The game is not polished. There are problems with multiple things, like optimization, netcode (for co-op), hitboxes, scaling, etc.

Fantastic game! If you ever wanted a rogue like combat game, this is the game for you. Think League ARAM, but you get a ton more meaningful choices to set up your build and instead of fighting another team you are pushing against an endless horde of lane minions. Jungle on either side of the lanes offers you a choice to play it safe and push the lane or take a risk and go to the jungle looking for power. The balance between economy vs power, scaling vs survival is very well done and offers a variety of different playstyles between casters, divers or tanks. Saw a video from spiffingbrit, instantly bought it and have been playing it daily for hours ever since.
