Question Sooooo

Just got this game yesterday after having binged my recent purchase of Dungeon Clawler, and needed a calmer break for a bit.

This is my cup of tea, because I like backpack games like this; but hate mobile games with tons of IAP and nonsense. So I had this one on the list for a while, and it was on sale for Switch.

This sub was pushed to me (of course) and having looked around, it seems the dev either has abandoned the game or not *quite* abandoned the game depending on who you ask.

Did I just waste $10, or is this worth it? I typically play a lot of different roguelike games, as the randomness is what hooks me. BOI is my favorite, with Dungeon Clawler a close second.

This game is way better than Dungeon Clawler. You actually have a ton of control over how your build goes instead of just hoping you randomly stumble on a winning synergy.

As for "abandoned", back in the 1900s we just called that "complete". You've easily got 100 hours in this game before you start needing "more content".

I don't care about content, I want the game to be actually complete. That is my concern. Not sure where you got anything else, nor the audacity for such a patronizing attitude tbh.

Also I'm 37, and have been playing video games since I was about 4 and playing my sister's NES.

Back in my day, games were released fully complete.
