Friendslop that actually works nice.
Positives:
- The enemies are fair-ish, weapons are all nice, do expect to fight and learn what each enemy does.
- The Spark system works OKand is a cool mechanic, but could be improved upon.
- The maps are varied enough that they don't get tiresome.
- The VAs did a great job
- Decorating is very nice
- Customization good
- Please try getting 99 rot and check your emotes
As for the current negatives:
- Some randomizers are just unbeatable the way enemies spawn in them. This needs a balancing patch.
- The corridors are too tight. A friend/enemy can easily block your escape route while your way back means an impassable area. Some loot (aka beds) also need transporting through 3 rooms around the entire map instead of one Z-corridor because the corridors are so tight.
- The loot value/scraps amount not being visible unless in spark mode is rough. In some levels (unsure if due to randomizer or depth level) you cant stay in Spark mode longer than 3s. Yes, it glitters in colors...but this seems pointless.
- The vessels (little guys) are pretty cool, but your run is over if you have to plug in a fuse, as they cant pick up anything, very rough.
- The Sparks have a short lifetime when not hugging a friend. Since you can only inhabit a quite inferior vessel, and your friend cant craft a "new body" why even have the lifetime? Just let me find the lil guy so I can at the very least extract with the scraps:(
To note:
It seems that after ~11h me and my friend hit the end of the current questline.
In about 10h, we managed to collect all the current crafting recipes.
All in all, even with all the current negatives, theres at least 10-12h of content.
More content will be added, theres a few areas that currently dont serve a proper purpose, but are clearly built for further plans. I'm quite content supporting devs that put this much effort into a game, the VA work especially wow'd me. Recommended and worth the asking price.
