I feel like this game should still be in early access, I didn't encounter any bugs however it's missing what I would consider some very basic QOL features and it feels poorly balanced. The game is similar to Death Must Die, the character's basic auto attack is directional, the maps are large without any POIs or prefab structures of any kind and dotted with tiny little *things*, and bosses appear at set intervals. The issue is that there are no markers for anything, no minimap of any kind, the UI was very minimal, which is fine but there was not even a timer for the run so I had no idea how long I had been on my run outside of checking the current time and comparing it to when I had started. I saw no way to check my current stats, so I was at a loss as to whether I should take an upgrade that procced based on my crit chance since I had no way of knowing what my crit chance was, there was no keybind in the settings that opened a stats or character panel, pressing every button on my keyboard also didn't open a menu where I could see stats. I also could not tell how many souls I collected during my runs, and was only able to see them afterwards when going to the armory, when you need so many souls to unlock new characters knowing how many you have during the run helps the player decide whether they want to immediately go for another run or go back to base to cash-in and buy upgrades and characters, without that basic information it feels annoying to have to go back to the hub every run in order to check and see if you have enough for the next unlock. As for balance, I took a perk that allowed me to freeze enemies, this also froze all bosses I encountered, I initially thought they were bugged because there really wasnt any effect on their model to indicate they were frozen and the bosses continued to run in place until I killed them, I had taken no perks that granted additional effects or increased the freeze effect in anyway so i can only assume that it was the base behaviour of the freezing perk. The map was littered with *things* however nothing i encountered seemed to offer any sort of buff, choice or challenge for additional rewards, every tree, ruin, tombstone, giant hand, ect that I encountered seemed to be purely cosmetic and after running for another 5-10 minutes to confirm this I came to the conclusion that there was absolutely zero reason to actually move from my current position, though I have no way of confirming this as I said there are no on-screen indicators of a direction I should be moving or any form of map. To add onto it i never once encountered a pick-up of any kind, not even a magnet, which further compelled me to just stand in one spot and essentially AFK the run, nothing could harm me, there was nothing to explore, do or see, no way of knowing my current run time or when it would end, no gear pick-ups, no different areas that I found during my runs. The perks themselves weren't boring, but they werent exactly interesting either, of course I'm saying this without having unlocked everything however all I encountered in my 30 minutes of play time were some very basic abilities, an expanding ring of damage that radiated out from my player model in a ring, icicle projects that shot out automatically, exp crystals exploding on pickup, shooting out a fan of flames on autos, freezing enemies on crit, 12% attack speed, pickup range increases, 12% damage increase, 12% melee damage increase, 12% move speed increase, 6% increase to crit chance, an auto that made a grim reaper slash with a scythe near me from time to time, and some blades that would hit enemies. I'd say with that in mind unless the empty maps, the UI/QOL features and balance are addressed that the game should be selling for 2-3 USD and not the 5 it currently is, because at the moment across the 2 runs I did, I just felt bored and annoyed.
