TLDR: This game is by far the best and most fun in the genre in my opinion. A solid 9/10 in the genre, and worth the purchase on full price, and definitely so on a sale.
Pros:
- The embarkation/destination mechanics with tarot cards and various items have amazing interactions that can make a run so absolutely ridicilous that you don't even care about the combat part of the game and just have fun.
- Coop is amazing, but if you have ping/host is quite far from where you live, be prepared to make a build tanky enough to live, because you wont be dodging anything. A huge props to them for allowing to quit a coop run midway and just continue later whenever you want!
- Art and music is awesome, special effects on some of the weapons/attacks genuinely make you go "holy sh*t" when you use them for the first time, especially when you buff them with various interactions.
- Even though there are a bunch of difficulty levels in the game, it is suprisingly also opening you for much cooler interactions during your runs, which is also a half con because this causes the runs on higher difficulties to be actually easier on the later chapters, but the first one or two chapters might just become terrifying.
Cons:
- Honestly, there isn't much of cons in this game on my books. I played the game from start to finish with my friend, most of the issues we had were slight desyncs but nothing that was causing us have bad time.
- While you can do a lot of different builds, after you try out various builds you realise: There really isn't much of a reason to use dual element relics, and acid and electric are by far the worst performing elements while physical puts an immense gap compared to all others. Our best attempts on acid and lightning builds were meh at best, while a well built physical build can just one shot each phase of the last boss in the hardest difficulty.
