Achilles: Survivor

VERDICT : Recommandé L'expérience en bref : Une excellente surprise pour un titre auquel je ne m'attendais pas à accrocher autant ! Les points forts : Le gameplay est simple, fluide et d'une clarté exemplaire, ce qui permet de theorycraft très vite sans se taper des heures d'apprentissage. La direction artistique et le thème mythologique tiennent aussi très bien la route pour le genre. À savoir avant d'acheter : La répétitivité inhérente au genre se fait sentir et la variété des builds reste un ton en dessous des ténors de la catégorie. En résumé : La porte d'entrée idéale pour quiconque souhaite découvrir le genre action roguelite / survivor sans prise de têtes.

fun game, can recommend but would wait for a sale... theres a lot more in the bad section but there is fun to be had here if you enjoy this genre. i think rebirthing is the biggest thing that needs looking at. the good: - interesting build mechanic though largely useless later - great graphics and sounds - some starting weapons are quite fun - various meta progression features to grind - lots of options to play the game your way if you so choose to enable them the bad: - rebirth sucks so bad, but you must do it once to unlock pandoras box which completely changes the game. i suggest not rebirthing again. rebirth has to give more than what it does, resetting our meta progress feels like a very cheap way of adding replayability - rebirthing sucks so bad i'm giving it a second dot point - rebirthing sucks so so bad it gets 3 dot points, seriously this stinks - theres absolutely no reason to level up more than one skill and unfortunately each rebirth gives you an extra skill slot which just adds more garbage upgrade options to your pool. you probably will upgrade some other powers but not for damage reasons. i'll always try to get the shields not to do damage but for ranged attack blocking, as well as the shields give you speed bonus when they are up - some starting weapons are absolutely ATROCIOUS which bleeds in from the point above, over half the roster is not even worth loading into the game. try starting hard endless 4th area with the chicken even fully upgraded its the worst time ever having to rely on construction when barboros and hector don't need to construct damaging tower - some upgrades stacked too high such as strike speed can ruin certain weapons, rather than make them more powerful. for example Steropes too much strike speed with too many number of strike upgrades. All X strikes now hit the same enemy, even if the enemy dies to the first strike, completely ruining your AOE clear ability - you don't hold your main weapon which looks goofy as all hell in a game with this graphic fidelity. Achilles held his weapons in Achilles: Legends Untold (great game btw) and the enemies even hold weapons in this game. - towers don't do much later as they get destroyed far too quickly, best off stacking gold, stone and myrmidon buildings off screen and hiding in a corner with the workshop - there is no way to block/reject certain upgrades which kills build variability, why would you ever want to mix range with melee in this game? you could do well there are melee and range skills with STRIKE, and you could gain damage with generic damange that affects all your powers, but you will have filled up your options with melee and range power damage and this is really the crux of it all. no way to block/reject, you get your first 3 skills so quickly you probably don't have enough gold to reroll and trying to mix skills of certain types just adds garbage to your upgrade options
