    the calamity is actually triggered by different effects and is very deadly - early game the best option is to find it on the map quickly and destroy it before the countdown ticks down or to run to the nearest portal and extract. Fighting is almost garantueed death

      its a phenomenal game in my oppinion but Content is very limited at the moment, so even if you wait you will get a good deal.

Also they make the engine that makes double A studios being able to produce games that look as good as this, let them get their piece of the pie

    • @Moskeeto
      @Moskeeto 9 місяців тому +2

      I hate it when devs go EGS exclusive but I'm ok with it when it's only for the early access period. It's best to wait for a Steam release anyway since the game will be much more feature complete and you'll have access to Steam's superior features without having to fiddle with adding as a non-Steam game.
      It also makes Linux and Steam Deck support much simpler. And I personally greatly value being able to download my games through Big Picture Mode with a controller so I never have to touch a keyboard and mouse.
      EGS has absolutely zero features I actually care about so I will never touch it and I have way too many games on Steam to play that I don't mind waiting for a release on the superior platform.

      It is a roguelite so it is replayable by nature, I would say it is a bit content light right now but still quite fun and likely worth the money. It will surely be _more_ worth the money over time though if you're on the fence.

      also depends on the runs - if you go in, clear a camp, go out you get like a level per run, after that 1 or 2 of those runs for the first unlocks or use the coins. i played for 2 evenings and have almost everything unlocked in research. Its just, when you make your first playthrough you do not know how to do it efficiently and also lose some witchfire to dying =)

    I'm literally only commenting to feed the algorithm. I really hope you at least do one more episode on this! Maybe level up a couple times off camera (so it'd be less pressure/easier to concentrate without doing commentary), buy some spells, invest in a couple different guns. I think you'd potentially enjoy it a lot once you got past the beginning phase where you're super weak compared to everything else.
    Also, unrelated, I wish melee was a viable option in this game. I love the way it looks and the mechanics and lore, but I'm really not much of a fps player either, unfortunately.
