Wish to see more Ragamuffins!
Was super excited to finally pick this up after having played the demo for years since it's finally optimized enough to be playable. Unfortunately the physics have gotten comically ridiculous, and I've had several times where either my opponent or I take an awkward step and break a leg or swing a little too hard and break an arm. Not really fun to play when you constantly risk losing progression by just walking towards your opponent.
the game is overall fun but definetly needs some work with the damage caused by hits and other combat glitches
I really love the gameplay loop for this game, the only thing I would like to see is facing the lord champion in the abyss. Once you get to the late game and are grinding for the baron set you just have a crazy amount of money. Even if I somehow die and have to face the 25+ zombies its so easy, I would really like to see a challenge when it comes to the abyss. Maybe extra rewards for conquering the abyss? Also no baron shoes??? Anyway beautiful damn game, I always come back to it even having done everything.
its peak cant wait for the new updates
:)
Could use some more optimization since the game frequently crashes but dang is it fun. Unleashes my instinctual human behavior to stab other males with pointy sharp sticks.
ALL GOD GAME
