Striving for Light: Survival

Game crashes so often it makes it very frustrating to play. Will change this if it ever gets fixed.

Lacks a way to replensh hp

TL;DR - marginally worth it. Coolest part Skill tree is different for a survivor and the most engaging part of the game for me. My general formula is if I played more hours than dollars I spent it is worth a play and gets a thumbs up from me. If time played is multiples more than money spent it gets bonus points. There are select few games that after many many hours of play they don't lose their luster. This game is firmly in the worth it category however at roughly time spent being equal to money spent I can give the following reason I will probably stop playing it. The game degrades into visual chaos that you cannot discern at some point such that it is impossible to tell if you are walking over your explosion or something that will damage you. I'm fine accepting I'm not a skilled gamer but it becomes very difficult to tell what is happening at some point. Perhaps this is the same as the point in the game that you don't have enough damage to clear the board effectively but I suspect not. This is why the endless mode gets boring it is because it is so hard to tell what is actually happening and it seams to be luck on if you can see the things you have to dodge. Also your fps tanks as the visual clutter gets out of control. Perhaps there is a build with less explosions and projectile multipliers that would make it more playable? The concept is interesting. The base run is 20 levels and the first 15 or so are interesting and playable. The last 5 or so you start to feel the visual clutter cause you to start avoiding areas you cannot tell what will hurt you and what is your stuff. My guess is you can expect to get 4 hours of playtime. There are many other survivor games that do things better but the premise of the skill tree is much more engaging in this game than other formulas.
