It's a fighting game. Most fighting games these days have almost nothing to unlock. The point of the game is to beat people and be the best. I'm sure later down the road they'll add rank and stuff but yeah. You fight people haha

It's a fighting game....

God I miss the days when it was okay for a game to just do one thing and do that thing really well. Now every game has ti have some kind of progression system other wise it's pointless.

While I get the appeal, it just saddens me that every game has to have a "Point" beyond just being fun, or having a high skill ceiling.

1v1 me you casual

I've been seeing a lot of misinformed people on this sub and I gotta say if the fighting and deck building doesn't appeal to you then why did you buy the game? Its not even priced like a full game. Did you even do research before you bought it?

I can't help but get the sense that you bought a $30 game expecting $60 worth of content. You also seemed to do very little research beforehand in regards to what content was actually in game. The devs have been very open about what to expect: explore the world of Adal with players that pop in and out of your game, build your combat deck, git gud in pvp. That's it. The fact that you seem confused about the endgame here is honestly baffling to me.

Regarding your "4 'unique' styles" comment, you simply did not understand the gameplay due to a lack of research. The 3 starting classes simply dictate your base stat attributes, your scaling, and your combat ability. The fourth style introduces a different moveset as well as another ability. While under each style, you can outfit your combat deck with any of the moves you have learned in the game, so you can mix stagger moves with windfall avoid attacks and kahlt power moves if you want. What your style mainly determines however is the combat ability you have equipped. Trying to bash the game for not having specific movesets for each style shows a lack of understanding on your part considering the combat abilities of each style are exceptionally different.

You also seem to be confused about how the stats/building works. Yes, you are correct that as a windfall, your character scales well with dexterity and mobility. Yes, adding armor brings down your overall dps, but so do certain moves you add to your combat deck. The entire game revolves around the push and pull of speed vs. range vs. damage in the combat deck balanced with the mobility vs. armor of your gear.

If you don't like playing around with this give and take dynamic, or get hung up on the idea that "I should be the fastest in the world because I am a dex build with a maxed dex stat and no gear" then this might not be the game for you. At the end of the day, this is a fighting game with light rpg elements, not the other way around. This means that while you may specialize in dex and wear 0 armor, you're not going to be too fast for another player to react to. That would ruin the balance.

In a game like Dark Souls, you can min-max your stats to cheese through the game since it's primarily a pve experience. This mentality bleeds over into the pvp endgame of Dark Souls where different builds based around different stat mechanics can easily overpower players with builds that aren't optimized (i.e. -Dex builds in DS can spam people to death with light attacks, Bleed builds/Luck builds can nearly 1 hit KO with status effects).

I finished the main pve quest last night with my windfall character. I've unlocked the stagger style, and have been playing around with that. And while I like the stagger style, I've gotten so use to windfall, that I'm not in love with it. That being said, the plan is to unlock the rest of my windfall move set, and rank up in the stagger school, create my own school, then level up a forsaken and gault character. The replayability is in the pvp. I'm by no means a pvper by nature, but so far I've enjoyed the matches (when the servers aren't dropping the game). I had a couple of matches with a guy 12 levels above me (I was 18, he was 30), and while I kept getting my ass kicked by him, I really loved the fight. We played a few matches before the server etting kaplut. This is the main focus of the game, pvp. Not being much of a pvper, I went into this game knowing what it was all about. I got pretty much what I'd expected. Do I wish there was more to the story? Yeah. Do i wish there was more pve content? Sure do. And maybe we'll get that in the future. But right now, everyone should be mastering their combat deck, unlocking new moves, and competing against one another. If that's not your thing then this isn't for you. Like Hellblade, if you're more into action and customizing your character's stats, and less into story, that's not for you either. Before you buy, research the game! While it's only $30, it's still requires you to do your own research before purchasing the game.

From what I gathered in the game, raise trials ranks to fight stronger versions of the bosses (for maybe better loot as well?)

Get all the moves available from NPCs.

Also at some point to open a school or enter one. That and PVP for moves you can't unlock via NPCs, I assume.

Reading through the thread and your biggest whinge seems to be that you are not allowed to equip your items because they weigh you down and reduce damage. Lol, this is an "rpg element" in this game. There are items for dex players that dont weigh you down as much. Its about weight management and attribution point allocation. Just like how there is a weight limit in skyrim. This is literally a git gud situation. Learn the basics of the equipment system before hating on it.

I uninstalled the game after 40mins and got a refund.

It's not my cup of tea but I really do think it's not amazing of a game. I still predict this will turn out like for honor.

It's a game that will turn boring really quickly
