Forsworn

very fun

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing sucks. Every boss or elite encounter is just spawn more and more ♥♥♥♥ while hitting you with ridiculous mechanics. The act 1 boss is the most unfun ♥♥♥♥ I've ever played. Maybe make a game fun before making it hard.

Could be a good game, but the balance is pretty bad honestly. It seems to be a pretty common theme amongst untalented roguelite developers where they make some encounters just utterly broken, literally mathematically impossible to win in in order to force you to die & start over. Example is the lost mage tower encounter; boss has a lot of HP, instantly drains your party's AP and activates 2 lightning totems that AOE damage your whole group. Because of the slow, you can't immediately disable the lightning totems, as they require 3 AP to disable. They're doing 24 damage per turn, and you can't disable them until at least the second turn. On top of this, the boss is also doing large AOE attacks, so you're taking >50% of your entire party's HP per turn, with a guarantee of being hit for ~40 damage (out of ~60HP per character) on the first turn with zero counters. How fun. Also a lot of unskippable UI animations, no edge panning, no character customisation, and IMO would prefer if they shortened a lot of the descriptions, they are way too wordy, and when each character has several of them and there can be 10s of enemies, it's kind of tedious having to thoroughly inspect every single element of an enemy in order to understand what exactly it's going to do.

很难理解为什么要把职业解锁弄得那么难 一回合击杀精英 无伤精英这种困难成就，为什么要和这种基本解锁挂钩？

Good game. Played the demo, full game is exactly what you get there, but with more stuff. Thanks dev for the demo. Gameplay is similar to divinity games with ability and action economy with rogue elements similar to slay the spire. If you played stolen realm this is a better version of it. If you like divinity combat you will like this. There is meta progression to get stronger between every run. Several heroes and subclasses for each of the heroes with most likely potential to add more. Synergy between classes/skills/item is really creative with a lot of possibilities. Having a good build really makes the game easy though. Messing up your build or skill usage can kill you pretty quickly though so its oddly balanced. I enjoy that. Map is the sameish generation each time with regards to the events inside and bosses. Some extra variety would be nice but i also do not mind the mostly static format that exists because it allows you to plan your run better. You will probably learn most fights and events by your third playthrough though there /are/ some hidden stuff as well that rarely show up. Not too much story content. Game run takes about 2-3 hours with auto saves on every step so you can stop whenever. Has 3 player multiplayer, have not tried it to review.

Oh my... this game is grindy AF. Prepare to die over and over and barely unlock anything. So, why do I recommend it? Well, because it's something you can play while watching TV or listening to music where the grind doesn't hurt so much. I don't recommend this game unless you are good with just doing the same thing over and over with very little reward. I do recommend it if you can grind and chill and kind of unplug your brain while you inch forward ever so slowly until something finally happens.

This game is so good. I have too many hours in the demo. Was happy to see they carried over to release. Forsworn plays like a fun new mix of its inspirations: Tactical combat: Divinity Original Sin (without surfaces) and with some MMO feels Mood: Dark Souls / Elden Ring, maybe Diablo Runs: Slay the Spire Upgrades: Hades Art: some indie RPG (thankfully looks unique and does not look AI gen) Difficulty: challenging Tactics revolve around ability points, cooldowns and meter management (Ultimate ability) more so than positioning. The spells and abilities feel familiar (D&D) while also being unique. Mirror image is quite different! My only gripe is that positioning mostly does not matter much. Enemies will just run right by your heroes. No attacks of opportunity. You can run by enemies with no consequence. Aside from applying shields there's not much you can do to guard your squishies. The enemy is stupid enough to line themselves up for your area of effect spells and abilities. Positioning does matter a bit for that. Line of sight is implemented well. Ranged attacks can be blocked by friend, foe or object. There's a fast enemy animation setting that speeds up combat a fair bit. The default pace is relatively fast as well. Would still like to speed it up more though. This is quality software too. I found no gameplay bugs in the hours I played the demo.
