Stolen Realm Survivors

Burst2Flame Games has made really good and positive changes since launch. If the review was from launch time just ignore it. They gave people the full game as a beta access and this is a small indie developer and people got mad that the game wasn't different right away, chill people. Was there issues at launch, yes but after the most recent updates to how skills and the game works it is really fun, addictive and a HUGE variety of viable builds and absolutely worth the money. Initially there wasn't much build diversity and certain items dominated the landscape, not anymore. Trust that Burst2Flame Games will make it right as they already came out with a small free update for some new bosses, new abilities and all sorts of stuff. Their original game Stolen Realms is an absolute blast and I am sure with some more sanding and polishing this game will be fantastic, I already have a hard time putting it down already. Current Issues I have which I imagine will be fixed in the near future as they take what the community says to heart. 1. Skill visibility / performance, late game when stuff gets pretty wild sometimes it is near impossible to see things with certain abilities, but go play some other roguelikes and tell me they don't have that issue either... With that as well certain abilities do have huge performance hits when stacked with certain things. For example, using some damaging aura, running around and having thieving (gold gain) lags the hell out of my system late game (sometimes down to <10 fps even with all settings turned down) with all the mobs going in and out of the aura and I don't have the latest and greatest of AM5, but it is the best of AM4 for gaming and I feel like that should be enough to handle this game. These need to be addressed over time. 2. Random bugs here and there, nothing game breaking but just some small annoying things, check the discord for what people are posting. Some it may just be descriptions not being fully laid out and other are just small bugs. 3. Better descriptions / information. Example, Branch of the Bog weapon description "Poison Cloud: Release a toxic cloud that poisons enemies within the area." What does Poison do, how much damage does it do, how often does it tick etc... I have no idea how the weapon works, what makes it work and how to min/max or utilize it best. I had tons of fun using it and playing with it getting super late game but hard to tell how to optimize and what are good/bad decisions on both upgrades and gear to equip to make the best use of it. I want to know the DETAILS of how these things and mechanics work. Give me an in game encyclopedia or better tooltips that describe exactly what is happening. Same can be said for bleed and some other things in the game, give us the information on how things work, damage %s, time things are applied for all of it. And if there is too much information in the tool tip, give us a reference source of information. Give them time to refine and polish it, but don't hesitate to buy now. 10/10 with or without rice, play and have fun.
