Even at $5, it isn't worth the price. Just not a fun game.
[h1] Nice Game [/h1] I think Break the Empire is very good because it offers many hours of content due to the skill level system and the very different characters. Really really good for one developer. Ah, yes, and updates like a new char or new levels just for free.
Just not a fun game. At least, not for me.
I like this game.
Hidden gem game with a great amount of content and replay value for the price, can be challenging but encourages you to think about how to level your character.
WAY better than vampire survivors and I really liked VS!
This game is absolutely a labor of love, and downright fantastic! Pick your BBEG and RAVAGE THE COUNTRYSIDE! Grow stronger, gather minions, and PUT THE EMPIRE IN ITS PLACE! Highly recommend. Edit: Just beat the game as Cain. Can't wait to try out the other BBEGs.
Bad at writing reviews- game's pretty solid, some of the characters i'm not sure how to approach playing- also the drop rates on items is horrendously low. Game somehow pulls off the aesthetic of an old DOS game at a higher res- I definately can't compare this to much, it's $5 full price (half off on summer sale at time of writing) just give it a shot if it looks interesting- i have no idea what i'm doing 20 hours in but i'm still having fun.
Fun little game, well worth the price.
PLEASE PLEASE ALGORITHM PUSH THIS INCREDIBLE HIDDEN GEM, WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN IT, THIS GAME IS A MASTERWORK MASTERFUL INCREDIBLE
