I managed to get in for a good 5 hours on day 1, yes the game is currently having major back-end issues (according to community managers) due to the errors messages on login this appears believable.

Game is fairly simple, but has all the stuff you'd expect. Its very clear the main game play loop is clearing dungeons with a squad of 3 referred to as lost lands. There is a map outside of these but I haven't gotten very far yet, level 11 overall as of writing this review.

I think once they have time to polish this game will be a nice casual alternative to games like Warframe. In the meantime I only recommend it to those who like the niche games on the market. It does need some work, though its still been a positive experience for me (I bought the 50$ pack, but there are people who bought the $150 pack and haven't gotten in yet at all).

Edit: It appears they're listening to the community and have already put in place a queue system so we're not just wondering when we can get it. I'm telling you give this game/company time.

Edit 2: appears the queue is almost completely gone. game still has the same bugs, but they've stated they're going to start working on them now. I've already gotten my moneys worth and can't wait for what they bring next. Game is super fun.

Edit: I've managed to put in over 100 hours in already and my god I love this game, yeah its buggy, and yeah some bosses need to be majorly redesigned but wow is it just mind numbing fun at times.

Decent loot based shooter with gears-esque cover system, multiple classes with different build paths and multiple abilities per class. gun game feels responsive and intuitive. small nuances with multiple mechanics but nothing truly broken or irrational (example sprinting and touching a wall ends the sprint, even if you just graze it) that all being said not a crazy good game but def not bad. Take the current review rating with a grain of salt as there are quite a lot of negative reviews due to the servers going down, the servers in question are ran via azure. which is having issues outside of just this game. as well the servers are being hammered with the game no.1 on steam and having over 111k concurrent users. try the game out and make up your own mind about it. expect some issues but nothing absolutely unheard of or out of this world.

Edit: 15+ hours and just reached end game, I now consider this a phenomenal game. People can fly have done a wonderful job with the build diversity throughout the actual story. And while the end game does seem to have a few powerhouse builds that you should choose for optimal results, you do have many options in how you approach said builds. especially with the mod selection for gear. I've always felt gripped by the story and have yet to leave a combat encounter feeling like it was subpar or too easy thanks to the world level addition (think of it like genshin impacts world level except you can swap outside of missions at will)

Ever heard of Icons: Legacy? Yeah same, I played and bought that back when it was first released. Def not gonna go for a re-branding years after. Pros? Umm.. Smash mechanics, you got it all S/DI, sort of wavedash mechanic, Jank AF combo system with sparks. Cons? Everything else. Play rivals for that feeling or go back and play actual Melee/PM lol If you guys do a quick search of Icons: legacy the store page literally reads As follows, "Icons: Legacy Edition is a Tribute Release to the Wavedash Team and the fans of the free-to-play game, Icons: Combat ArenaNote: This game is considered final and should not be intended to have additional updates besides critical bug fixes."

Pros:
Fast paced, combo centric combat
Deep lore
Expansive world
personable characters
metroidvania

Cons:
Short
3 characters share the same story path
bosses can be incredibly hard for newer players


Good game, 10/10 would play through a 40th time. And yes I've played this game through far too many times
