Wow. This is years late, but your review is far more enjoyable than IGNs. Their review felt so rushed and not very enthusiastic. Your review actually helped me to get a better understanding of the game. Thanks for giving me the desire to play this game!
R34hn deaths gambit is in development. The developers said in their blog that the game can be played from the beginning to the end but there are a lot of missing cutscenes, and that they are polishing everything.
One nice aspect about the hordes is they announce their arrival a good few seconds before with a gong sound, which allows you to backtrack a bit if necessary to position yourself in a more suitable area to fight, which in my experience can be the difference between not taking a singe point of damage or an instant death. Personally I suggest an open area with easily accessible platforms, this allows as a player to use the platforms as a respite from the smaller enemies and to give yourself some breathing room to allow the shield to regenerate, and of course, learning enemy patterns and timings, which in this game are really simple. And while I do agree that a lot of people will find the hordes to be annoying at the very least but it is very satisfying to overcome them, and you "only" lose the progress you had made up to that point in exploration, which you can get back to rather quick thanks to the shortcuts.
There's a lot of these coming out as they are now easier to produce and fund by small studios and indie developers, yet provide significant quality of gameplay and experience. There are some more advanced games coming out soon :)

I've just got around to playing this game, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Brutally difficult (good thing).
I seem to be one of the few who absolutely loves this game - it’s fantastic
The game had some faults but the newest update made it great! Got it then and been having a blast since!
i was wondering , what ever happened to eitr and death's gambit .
Neither have release dates, but we're keeping our eye on them!

Seems like combat is fruitless because of the Horde system.

Of course ANOTHER 2d game 🙄
Arturo Alvarez least it's not another modern military FPS.
