First problem I ran into with this game is the volume and volume controls. My mistake for leaving my headset / PC volume at 70%, honestly though, even if I'd left it at 50% that was still way too loud for me. Anyway, we're not off to a great start and when I reach the volume controls, I come to find there's only 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deaf % and the craziest thing is based on how loud that start was, I was expecting to see the controls defaulted at 100% but they were actually at 50%, WTF? Last bit here is that 25% did not feel tolerable even with my PC volume down to 50%, I usually don't have to go further than that ... but here we are ... complaining about it on Steam ... for whatever it's worth. This game looks like it could be a lot of fun and I liked SOME of the UI options, the mouse cursors are really cute and a nice touch ... but then I reached control options. Lmao ... The next big thing I ran into was that I can't use back or forward mouse buttons as a keybind? RIP already, those are some extremely convenient and under rated buttons to be able to freely use as binds in many games IMO. Second thing I ran into is more along the lines of me and my preferred keybinds, ESDF instead of WASD. You literally cannot rebind the movement keys WASD ... this might not be an issue for many if not most players, especially those who would opt for a controller anyway ... but a game like this looks like heaven on Mouse & Keyboard to me ... too bad I've already run into two issues that make me go "Hmm, yeah, this is probably why they recommend a controller when you first boot up the game." which makes me feel like the developers are at least somewhat aware of the fact their keybind system is limited in actual functionality. Sure, I could play it with a controller. Or ... being disappointed already ... this game is going into the hidden pile and I'm moving on. This game could still use some love ... personally I wouldn't consider this finished.

Pretty good. Nice sprites, generally good performance, good variety of positive and negative choices to make during gameplay. Some class balance issues, some burdens that feel overtuned or undertuned compared to others, but those are tiny quibbles relative to a meritorious whole at a negligible price point. A little irritating when there's still grindy achievements left to do once you've completed all the skill-challenge-based achievements, but that's a small offense. Few noticeable bugs; maybe once or twice a game an invulnerability would fail to happen, but not much beyond that. Good job.
Haven't played it for very long. Seems decent. Doesn't really keep my attention. Give it a try.
very good game, simplified Chinese needed, waiting for more game content.
Menu styles not that great. biggest issue is settings where 25% increment volumes, cant lower past 25% so youd have to externally lower it more so its not blasting your ears.
Oyun güzel ama çok fazla açıklama var. Okumadan geçmek istemediğim için hepsini tek tek okuyorum ve sıkıcı hale geliyor. Türkçe dil desteği eklenirse oyunu tekrar satın alırım. Şimdilik iade ediyorum.
Pretty fun but wish there was more unlocks for the characters for weapons and skills; the rings are kinda eh feeling and only seem to gain xp in one mode which is lame.
Sehr gelungenes Spiel. Viele Stunden eine Menge Spaß.
Ta weno, pium pium
