Fantasy Survivors

Playing solo is such a brutal grind. I have 130 hours logged at the time of review and I'm just short of 70% completion. There are missions I received in my first hour of gameplay that I *still* can't complete. And it's awesome! (if you're into that kind of thing) One thing is for certain: I absolutely feel like I've gotten way more than my money's worth of enjoyment out of this game

This game is better than Vampire Survivors... there, I SAID IT. I SAID IT. Don't buy a starbucks coffee today, buy this game.

This is the most poorly balanced game I've ever played. The first level is so easy you can literally afk it. Then as you progress through the levels, the dev's idea of a challenge is to make every level a labyrinth. The game has no map or mini map to guide you. You have to spend hours attempting each map over and over again to memorize the sprawling paths. Then they decide to kick the difficulty up a notch by making ranged enemies auto-hit you with undodgeable attacks that kill you in two hits. By the way, these ranged enemies spawn 50 at a time so you just instantly die. 90% of the items and characters in this game are useless. The meta progression takes so long that I'm 50 hours in and I'd estimate I'm about 5% of the way through the gold upgrades. The only good thing this game has going for it is co-op, but there's no lobby feature so you have to start a run, then invite everyone, then everyone joins the run late and everyone wasted precious time since each map is severely time limited before guardians spawn and kill you in one hit. They also made monsters spawn in a circle around each player, so if you're not standing right on top of your friends then you make monsters spawn on them and kill your team instantly.

great game

solid vs like

So far the game is great! Steam deck users - make sure you change the controls so you can select, ban, or choose the item during level ups. After that the main menu is navigated through touch. All in all this is a fantastic game.

It's often tedious to progress solo, a lot of weapons seem downright bad, and the game gives you very little information through its kinda messy UI. But I keep coming back to it, because it's so satisfying when a build comes together and you unlock new things, of which there are many, and it's beyond worth the little I paid for it. Still hate archers though
