Halls of Torment

Amazing diablo like survivors game

Update: I finally did beat the Vault by abusing Decay to whittle down the boss over time, but honestly, the more I play this game, the more it upsets me. So many times I find an item I need, but can't transfer it because I'm out of "buckets" (to send items home), as they don't stay in your inventory after a (successful) run. Game balance is complete a**, with some areas being utterly busted and unbalanced, same as for certain bosses (i.e. Mr. Cyclone boss from the ice area with his bulls**t hitboxes), but also in the discrepancy of characters and items. Block is king, so Shield Maiden has given me the most success in any area. Excessive enemy spam with increasing speed in combination with the AI that is hell bent on making your life as difficult as possible with no breathing room at all, hence why tanks with high regen vastly excel in any and all content, most notable in Vault and Boglands. The whole progression system needs a complete overhaul to not waste so much of your time with these long runs (20-30 minutes each). Miniscule upgrades paired with item scarcity make me not wanna play anymore. It is not communicated at all that the Vault is apparently the final area with credits, intended to be tackled as you gear up via other content, yet it is unlocked immediately after you beat the other levels. I still don't know what most of the power-ups do because the game doesn't let you look at them. It's a cool and fun game that is overall well polished, but it's shooting itself in the foot with excessive (annoying) grind, hampering progression, oppressive design, poor balance of difficulty and often terrible UX (user experience). There's a fine line between difficult and extremely annoying. Imma leave up the original review because it encapsulates quite succinctly how I feel after playing more and more sessions. The rose tinted glasses are off and all its flaws come to light. I think it's time for me to finally try Vampire Survivors... or something else. This game wants to waste my time. ---- Honestly, just f**k this game at this point. Can't complete the f*****g Vault, even though I deal almost a billion damage (literally) over the run, as I just can't hit the boss before enemy HP gets so crazy that I have to constantly run away/get overwhelmed. Doesn't matter what I try. Decay or crit, summons or Spark, full tank, it just doesn't matter. The % bonuses from the vessels are so laughable with +0.2% to +0.5% per shard (gained from killing bosses) that progression feels extremely slow. Bonus points for me being soft stuck because I need to complete the damn Vault so I can send up better items. ON TOP OF THAT I can't even upgrade my other characters because there (still!) exists this bug where you can't upgrade your heroes if you haven't unlocked them in a specific order. Which I can't do now BECAUSE I CAN'T SEND UP THE BETTER ITEMS to survive the harder quests! It was fun at first, but f**k this game, man. I'm beyond frustrated now.

Muy divertido, exelente musica de fondo

Muy buen vampires survivor con pinta de diablo

The genre is moving forward

The runs are like a snack-size diablo 2, which is great for a Dad who doesn't have teenager amounts of free time.

Gra jest bardzo prosta i nie zawiera dużo mechanik. Po kilku pierwszych godzinach prawie się odbiłem, ale udało mi się wytrwać ten mały kryzys. Trzeba wytrzymać powolność gry do momentu zbierania artefaktów (głównie klepsydry) - po tym gra wciąga - chaos i epilepsja gwarantowana. Zawsze z chęcią wracam każdego dnia żeby porobić kolejne zadania.
