game makes me want to hang myself but very nice yes
half sword is amaazing
So, I really love this game and all and I am leaving this as a positive review for now, but wtf happened? I played this a bunch at release and while it had its flaws, it was still overall fun. Now I picked it back up after some updates and everything seems broken. My guys arm randomly breaks when I swing any weapon and sometimes I just fall over and die when I hit the floor. It is pretty much unplayable at the moment. I am trusting they will fix this but that was so disappointing to come back to after some "improvements".
I was on top of the world, 30 wins no losses. Until i perished. Then, i had to fight 28 of my former opponents to come back to life. Only to be mauled, maimed, mounted (yes mounted, the man was riding my shoulders) and absolutely violated, and torn to shreds by a team of 8 undead men. I have not laughed that hard in a long time
Its great but the mechanic to get up is so bad because it forces you to crawl and half of the time I end up dying.
Demo Is so much better Then this Sh**
Fun game, didn't crash as much as what i've seen online that being said though I'm not completely without crashes. really fun to use (most of) the weapons at (most of) the classes but for the price? you'll have a good 5-20 hours of solid fun in the games current state of the game (0.6.1.5) I highly reccomend!
such a goated game its very worth it to buy instead of just playing the demo cuz of all the brawling features added and the dev team is very motivated and update often
