It's a complete slot machine for the first thirty hours. After that, it becomes a slot machine that you can influence.

It's dice-rolls on top of dice-rolls on top of dice-rolls and they call it game design, then slap a disclaimer that "oh, it's hard." on top of it to excuse the complete lack of balance.

This game does not respect your time. A group that works perfectly fine for an entire run will just get completely wiped out due to a boss or random fight with the right enemy team that you can't overcome, simply because you didn't choose the right team members at the beginning. That's fine in most rouge-lites, but the problem here is that each run takes *HOURS*.

After about fifty hours, I feel like an abused spouse that keeps coming back because I think it'll be different this time around. I feel like *this* time, I'll finally get whatever it is that isn't clicking in my brain about the mechanics that will make this haphazard, "just stack RNG and call it a day" design make sense. It never does.

There are only a handful of viable team comps that will get you across the finish line, and even then, you have to spend tens of hours unlocking the skills that even make them viable in the first place.

If this game were a restaurant, it would have a burger that looks like it's the best burger in the world. When they set it on the table, they then say that you're not allowed to eat it until every member of staff gets to take turns kicking you as hard as they can in your balls. And once you've suffered through that, they toss the burger into the air and there's a 50/50 chance that it lands back on the plate or in a gutter full of hobo piss.

If you like CBT, this might be for you. For everyone else, it's a matroyshka doll of RNG masquerading as game design.

nope nope nope, im tired of wasting 2 hours just to get run down by a boss which i need a specialized team for, without wiki - unplayable, disgrace to the masterpiece DD1 was.
