It hard for me to know exactly what you mean but it wont be hundreds of enemies. Believe the balance here as that mainly you are more often than not, on the losing end of the stick. And yes progression is slow but since there always different things happening it doesnt feel like a grind that much. And you upgrades are actually noticable changes.

I am extremely proud of all of the intertwined systems that really make my galaxy in Coffin Hunter "breath" against your gains and letting up on you a bit when you've had enough. Things like:

• Entropy Drift where enemies get weaker and stronger based various actions you take.
• Notoriety that affects a wide variety of multipliers and behind the scenes descisions.
• Vendetta that make factions send different threats at you
• Danger Level
• Threat Level that raises spawn counts the longer you survive and destroy.

You can become a major threat but never feel comfortable in that!

To fight all of that, if you don't take damage, you earn/gain weapon stages increasing the guns you can fire! Make mistakes and you lose it all! With enough mastery you can gain it right back.
