♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the late game is somehow worse than hoi4s, YOU CANNOT PIERCE ♥♥♥♥,chinese water torture is preferable to this
Legal quebrar os ossos girando os caras, tipo tu pega ele pelo braço e faz spinjutsu e pronto ou tu pode pegar um martlelo e acertar a cabeça dele ou fatiar ele com espadas e machados. Aura
"Physics based game" my ass, a man held a stick flail to my head one time he didn't swing it that hard, I mean he slowly moved his flail to my head and he fully knocked me out, on top of that armor doesn't do ♥♥♥♥ unless your in full plate, I mean this game is possible one of the most unoptimized half assed games I've ever played, for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake the enemies feel like they're on cocaine or morphine, I mean I've cut guys arms off and they're still standing with a damn sword or axe in hand, and also I can run into a wall and my arm would just break entirely, I've genuinely seen better melee mechanics and damage systems from games on Roblox. Do better.
The game's rig. I keep dying to the most stupidest thing, even when I have player damage all the way down, I get one tapped like it was normal. What the ♥♥♥♥ devs.
Demo is better than the full game the hair in the full game lags the hell out of my pc and one tap from a fist will kill you even if your on the most easy mode just play the demo not the full
I have 136 hours in the demo and I love the idea and gameplay. But man, it runs terribly on my potato pc with 3070 and ryzen 5 5600X. Demo runs fine btw. Besides the performance, demo still somehow feels better and more polished then the main game. Later ranks feel boring, like there's no counter to full metal armor. Maybe it's the point and by design, but still not very engaging to repeatedly bonk an armored tin can without any damage, hoping it'll get bored and fall over. Kinda disappointed with the full game, it's 3/5 for me but I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. Edit: oh yeah, and the abyss where you go after your character dies sucks. Everyone who you've killed respawn as zombies, and if your killcount is more than 15 - you're screwed. Zombies are tough but for wrong reasons. They rush you and start biting, dragging your character down. Also they keep their equipment. So you either have to play with honor and mercy and let your opponents live when they yield (but where's fun in that) or you better not die at all and the mechanic is totally pointless.
The demo is better in every way and is free. Physics got worse, weapons glitch through bodies including your own, swinging your weapon will often make your uninjured character fall, even on flat ground with no movement input. It went from being a great, fun and funny historically accurate physics-based medieval combat simulator to feeling like a drunk toddler moving through peanut butter while ODing on Fent. Plenty of people who played the demo complained and devs basically replied with "yeah, we don't care." For reference I have 120 hours in the demo.
constant "fatal error crashes", the stamina is dogwater, undead in the abyss are the worst combo of annoying/boring. custom longswords get the "unsheathable" status without it being declared, equipping items is a chore, the weapon swings are clunky. The demo was better until it started with the fatal crashes every 30 minutes
They should call this Half Crash, but instead of it crashing half the time, it crashes all the time
This game can cause so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ anger but its so addictive
