+:
good simple gimmick game design
audio ambiance
EDIT: works perfectly on steamdeck

-.
Low poly graphics, yet, very low fps on desktop from unoptimized Unreal Engine game.
No key binding settings.
No graphics settings.
No cloud saves.
EDIT: super short

Just an empty mouse click counter + music background.

There is an audio volume slider, probably the most advanced feature here.

100%ed this game.

Map designs are great.
Scaled ennemies with coop party are rather well balanced.
Many objectives are doable solo, some will be easier in coop with random pick-up group.

Game is probably much simpler/accessible than Risk of rain 2.

You have more control on what you can buy and unlock.
Itemization is close to deck building.

This is currently more what you would expect from a free short demo.

It works fine with protonGE. Performance wise, it's ok after using auto-setup/config.

This is probably a good and safe bet with that publisher, Though there is no communicated roadmap. (except "end 2026 for 1.0"... expect much longer)

But buy it eventually as "investment", not to actually play it whole weekend. It won't even last your afternoon.

<<1h per €

Rather boring and slow.
Sparse/scarce ennemies on map, lots of slow walking.
Plenty of heavy HP destructibles you need to get resources from to craft your building/ammo/upgrades.

Un petit hack&slash français bien sympa.
Pour le challenge adam nostrus deuxième acte, il faut viser level 100+10 sur votre équipement pour éviter de se faire défoncer... il pourra dans tous les cas vous servir de DPS-meter...

Bon système de craft quasi déterministe.
Toujours plein de façons de faire évoluer son build.
Plein d'armes uniques à découvrir.

Quelques rares soucis d'UI.
Beaucoup de grind.
Des malus/malédictions pas toujours équilibrées. Notamment la profusion novas de glace qui peut vous congeler fatalement.

Valheim in better, where you don't respawn completely nake, unarmed and armorless to recover your dropped inventory in hostile environments.

Lot's of points of interest pop on open map as you finish quests unlocking even more quests.
Great hit and parry/block combat system.

Some rare crashes, but it runs nicely on linux.
For some reasons Steam pre-processing of shaders takes ages, you can skip them and it will be fine.

One of best end game itemization in H&S genre to keep you for hours.

Best monetization scheme for a live service, cosmetics sold as support sales. And you can still 100% offline if you want to. It means monetization don't leak into gameplay and game design. Like you don't pay/subscribe to have some more inventory slots, while they would be feeding/overwhelming you with even more items you need to collect and manage. (fck TESO for that)

Game performances are real issues with last patches.
On steamdeck you can randomly get 1 fps soft freeze.
On desktop, users of high end hardware experience big drop of fps.
Some people can't even pass login screen. Some others will systematically get exponential stuttering/ruberbanding after a while.

Next GOTY.

Quite enjoyable in first minutes and first runs.

Their last addition of mode called Guild Assignments (challenges) really makes this game shine!

Nice unexpected roguelike auto-battler, don't let graphics distract you.

You unlock new heroes, objects and potions by simply playing or with specific objectives.
