Endless Alice

The biggest problem with this game is that it feels like Risk of Rain 2, but worse. It borrows heavily from its inspiration, copying parts of the game with little or no modification. Many mechanics are almost copy-pasted directly from RoR2: some items being identical; shields and barriers working exactly the same; boss teleporters required to move onto the next stage (which even drop an item); elite enemies that appear as the run gets harder; gold and a secondary currency similar to Newt coins; the "Angel Shop," which functions like a Bazaar Between Time equivalent; the concept of time passing making the game harder; and basic tools like scrappers, printers, cauldrons, equipment items, and lunar items. What’s worse is that there are glaring issues specific to this game: maps seem too large, enemy variety is low, and movement feels under-polished. To argue that this is a "gooner Risk of Rain 2" isn’t fair; installing the right mods makes RoR2 itself a "gooner" game anyway. There have been countless mods for RoR2 made specifically to sexualize characters or mechanics, and they are free and installable with a single click via a dedicated mod launcher. Another thing I want to mention is that some of the characters seem a bit... underaged. Now, I know there is an audience for this kind of stuff, but it is definitely not me. I was really looking forward to trying out the foxgirl, but after loading in I noticed she was "underdeveloped" in certain areas. This is a disapointment for me, and this is one thing that killed the enjoyment of this game for me. In its current state, I would rate this game a 3/10. Setting my personal issues aside, because it is so similar to Risk of Rain 2, I would just say to go play Risk of Rain 2. You aren't losing much by not playing this game, and I hope I can say differently in the future. The devs of this game need to take it in a different direction in order to stand unique to RoR2, which itself is a monument of the rouguelike genre.
