Deeply un-enjoyable "affixes"

Each difficulty up from normal adds a additional affix to each room/boss however it appears they have taken all your least favourite affixes from Wow/Diablo and other popular games. There is 4 on each room non boss at highest difficulty and 2 on bosses and you can get any combination of these:

1 - Their favourite - Area denial - Several affix's deny space in the room making it very difficult not to get hit or at least just spend your time running away. Poisonous Mushrooms/Exploding Enemies/Meteor/Earthquake,Tidal Wave. - This is only worsened by the fact all bosses have area denial also.

2 - Removal of your boons - Super unfun. Going into a room with your blessing removed.

3 - No revival - This can spawn on boss rooms - GG

4 - Meteor/Earthquake have no individual indicators and just show a warning on the floor - Considering every mob almost have a similar shaped indication also flashing on the ground impossible to tell which it is and to plan accordingly.

These affix's still hit you after the room has been "cleared", my favourite is when the mushroom spawns when you kill the boss under you, there is a short "win screen" however this affix's continue damaging you, so you slowly watch your HP go down unable to do anything about it.

I understand there is options to play at lower difficulties without these "affixes" and the game itself does run smoothly and play well, however it will not have must shelf life for most.

It doesnt feel like you really get strong at all, throughout, there a few strong Combos however most "Boons" feel super underwhelming - only 3 seem really playable. Alot of stronger Boons/upgrades have already received nerfs

All weapons seem extremely weak compared to spells and mainly redundant except a few.

All the mobs seem to want to just constantly back off and run away from you which is understandable as your trying to kill them but they are literally sprinting to the other side of the room sometimes.

Events - Several events require to kill a certain amount of enemies in a specific amount of time - Unfortunately the game spawns these in at a rate which makes it impossible - (This occurs after boss 2 constantly)

Has potential but atm cant recommend.

This game was fun for about 10 hours. Not worth the money at this point but could be in the future. If you want this style just go play Hades.

If your first big patch after launch is nerfs across the board for everything fun in the game, i automatically lose complete faith in the dev team. These games are not competitive, there is no world first race, no professional scene. They're supposed to be FUN. Player power. OP Builds. Insane runs where you get unkillable buff combos. If all you're doing is nerfing anything that could possibly feel strong your game will suck. Flat out.

I haven't done the hardest difficulty yet, but i've beat the first three or so and you just dont get to the point that you do with other roguelikes where you're like "damn i'm so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ strong right now". It's more of a.... i mean i can kill things i guess.

Last thing, there are TOO MANY RESOURCE ROOMS early. Like, i have everything unlocked for every character. Gives me abilities dont give me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gems i can't use. They need to give you more actual modifiers early and stop giving you so many resources. Maybe a different way to earn them so they dont get in the way of your actual run. It feels SO BAD to have everything unlocked and getting no abilities.

Decent Hades clone based in Arthurian legend. Four characters to unlock each with their own weapons (which also have an upgrade system) and spells to work towards. Meta progression is shared with a rather large talent tree. There are also cosmetics, skins, and other extras to keep you busy.

I was luke-warm on it until I unlocked the clericy monk chick, and am curious to try the co-op synergy with her as support since she has shields.

Tech notes: Has ultrawide support, but sadly no fov slider. Also, even though it tries to force you into using a controller at the start, I always prefer m+kb and it feels just fine.
