Arcane Tower Survivors

edit: came back for a couple days, and my review remains more or less the same. The core is there but there are a lot of QoL and balancing issues holding it back. It's better after the recent patch but still needs work in a lot of ways. The various elements aren't interesting enough (25% physical damage or 25% fire damage for your relic drop, m'lord?) to make up for the tedium and same-ness of every run. The enemies come in 3 speeds and one type can shoot bullets. The rest is scaling from HP pool, so torment 5 is the same game as normal, enemies just have hundreds of thousands of health now. This is compounded by the 'soundtrack' which is about 90 seconds on loop with an alternate 60 seconds on loop when the boss is in play. Speaking of bosses, they have 2 moves each (if that) and are 10x tankier than normal enemies so I hope you enjoy shuffling back and forth predictably for 5-10 minutes. The way the skills look and feel is good, and the way they've built in cross-synergy for every pairing is smart and enjoyable, so I think with time and several balance passes this will become actually good rather than provisionally good. The new item system is also a sign of good movement in the right direction and adds a lot to the game. The mission system needs a rework but could also provide room to grow. original: The bones are there, but the atrociously short pickup range makes playing very tedious. I'll come back to it in a bit to see how it has grown.

Прикольная игра, в целом много чего нового преподносит в жанре, в основном прокачки вне игровой сессии

чем то напоминает vampire survivals. очень классная и захватывающая игра. мне понравилось

Good bones but the balancing is AWFUL

неплохо

Seems like a solid base for a possibly good game. A lot of skills and characters, not sure yet how the grind is going to be.

Les runs sont beaucoup trop longues et lentes... De plus le mode facile est beaucoup trop facile et est obligatoire pour s'essayer aux difficultés supérieures... Du coup en facile, une run de 20minutes semble interminable car beaucoup trop simple et on s'ennuie à mourir... Je me fais rembourser mais je rachèterai le jeu plus tard quand il y aura plus de mises à jours car le potentiel est là, à voir donc ^^ (La musique est cool ^^ )
