Hero Siege

For those that don't want to read the whole thing: Its a solid 7/10 aRPG to play if you are between the seasons of your main game (for me, thats PoE). Now for those that want to read a little bit more: The game is decently made, though still buggy even after the years though that can be expected, the game changed from what it was and it changed for the better, before S9 i wouldn't give it 3/10 how bad it was, now its solid 7/10 and the main points making it loose so much are the bugs, though not the only ones. The pace of the game is "fine" it feels like you are incompetent to suddenly zooming again just to hit a wall and being able to do nothing quite a lot even without changing difficulty which doesnt feel quite good. The performance is another thing where you will go "its fine", as the game runs fine on most setups (was running it on R7 5800x3D, 32Gb Ram and Rtx 4060Ti, then switched my setup to the notebook), but as in almost every aRPG you will hit a point where you will look at the game and ask "who ate my FPS" because you will go from 200FPS to 3FPS in a pack of monsters and then back to 200FPS once they die. Classes are fun, most of them are finally free, though some are still behind paywall but hey, its few bucks with often sales around 67% and once the class goes free to play, you will get skin for the class (which in most cases costs the same as the class) so not much to complain about there. For "summary": Pros: The devs are active on discord and listen to player feedback often, are proactive in fixing stuff and communicate well. The game looks and feels decent to play. Characters and skills are fun to play. It is challenging to upgrade your gear, but hey aRPG's are about the grind. Player driven economy is always nice (if it doesnt get bombed by cheaters). Bosses are interesting and fun (there will be exceptions in the Cons). Its a cheap game that will provide you with no small amount of fun. Now for the bad, Cons: There is no small amount of bugs and even when some get fixed, other pop out, some being skills not working properly, passives not working correctly, but unfortunately even those that make you loose hours of progress because your gold or items go "poof" or make it so that you cant progress your quests. Those bugs get fixed fairly fast, but there are just too many to ignore. If you have skill setup for clearing and 2nd one for single target, its nice that you can swap them with hotkey, unfortunately you can't do the same for Ether (passive tree), so unless you want to menu to swap that as well you are just loosing DPS for the sake of not being able to link skill tree and passive tree together or not having another hotkey for the passive tree. Bosses are fun to fight, except some that are just mental and near impossible for certain types of builds, and since they are Act bosses you have to kill to progress they can feel bad and make people quit. Overall the game is good and i would recommend you get it as it can be bought for under 3€ when on sale, the Devs are trying hard and it shows in a good way, wouldn't recommend it as your main game, but if you play other aRPG's and are done with their leagues in 2-4 weeks, this is a nice game to pick up and play while you wait for your main game to release a new season.
