  • I didn’t review it, but… I have been honestly a little disappointed. I thought there would be more characters and it doesn’t feel different enough from StS, like, the original characters are more the same than different, really.

    The multiplayer in particular sucks. There is nearly no coordination at all; you’re all just playing it separately together, versus Hellcard in which you are tightly coordinating exactly which enemy order to strike in what player order, every time. The decks are actually critical in synergizing there. I would rather play Hellcard for multiplayer every time, so it was disappointing to me that Megacrit didn’t play Hellcard or learn from its fantastic design.








  • I abhor all mouse-based games that require you to stop moving to attack. There’s just something about that mechanic that I will never enjoy no matter what. I’ve tried Diablo, Titan Quest, etc. multiple times and have always come to the same conclusion: you can’t (easily) dodge enemy attacks while also attacking yourself, which is irritating to no end. (I wonder if that’s why I love the independent attacking behavior of units in Total Annihilation…)

    Anyway, glad you’ve found it to be fun. I’m still on the hunt for any similar ARPG that’s more twin-stick in nature, though.
