it is fun but very hard
给我解释解释打开游戏就报错是什么意思
The game isn't bad! It's a really cool idea and I love playing it. Though it is still in Early Access, the experience can be painful at times. The amount of times I've crashed or died to a bug is too many to count. It is very painful to be so close, only for the game to break and cause you to die.But the game is definitely getting better with updates. I do feel the combat feels different from the playtest, and I wish I could still play the playtest version. Still, I think the game is pretty good. I hope they add the gauntlet mode back, and I am excited to see it when it finally hits full release one day.
DIdnt make it through 800+ vengful spirits, will be trying again.
Honestamente siento que con cada actualizacion aunque el juego se haga mas Realista en si, esta perdiendo esa emocion en el pelear porque las peleas ya no tienen ese factor de brutalidad ya guante, por ejemplo en la beta me gustaba que aun cuando te inutilizaran un brazo por ejemplo pudieras seguir luchando (recuerdo que logre ganar una pelea sin los brazos), ahora un corte en el brazo te inmovilisa y te deja completamente muerto, aparte quitaron las patadas giratorias y los golpes giratorios son inutiles por completo, ya sea en energia o las propias piernas, es mas realista pero perdio un poco lo que lo hacia bueno, al menos para mi, aunque la actualizacion de los pesos, altura y diseños es buena aparte va bastante bien, lo demas se le quita la diversion al juego en mi opinion, aparte no se si soy el unico que despues de tantos cambios aun con 80 horas siente que el pelear cambio demasiado, hasta el punto que la manera que peleaba se siente menos efectiva y en si mas pesado el juego, ya no se siente un juego para jugar una hora para pasar el tiempo, ahora se siente demasiado aburrida, llevo desde la beta jugando y aunque estaba bien con el como va el juego no me gusta.
