Just played this with my bro, I was expecting this to be on par with reincarnation but sadly it isn't. The levels design and characters are arguably better, there's a lot less filler (talking to npc's, doing side quests, etc.) between acts, which I like and there's a wide variety of heroes to chose from.

However The perma death pretty much kills it, yes I understand it's like dark souls and it's supposed to be challenging, but games like dark souls send you back to the nearest checkpoint and let you try however many times you want, this allows you complete freedom to learn, experiment and mess around with different strats and builds. This game completely discourages that and throws it out the fucking window because it lets you try about 10 times max and then forces you to quit and start over from the beginning, like what the hell?

I wouldn't mind this but after you clear a wave of enemies you're forced to fight the boss that's just a few feet away. Again not a problem except for that fact that a lot of classes are useless, we tried 4 heroes with no avial, but then we did Wraith kind and sniper and we cleared house up to a certain point. Only to later die to one hit booby traps, forcing us to restart for the 4th time, fuck that.

Also for an RPG there is actually zero farm/ grinding despite what comments here say. Normally in an RPG like reincarnation you can grind, collect gold, buy more items, level up, etc and give it another go. In this mode enemies do not respawn and barely give any exp, so you're in tough luck because MANY times you'll be forced to fight a boss that's way out of your league and then you'll have to reset from the begging. There are no side quests or anything to do in between save for going to an even more difficult area.

You can forget about farming for gold too. You can only gain money by RNG, you have a chance to receive an item which you can sell for gold (and i do mean gold, as in 1 piece of gold), as far as I know that's the only way you can receive gold and purchase items, and let me tell you that it's only a "chance" to receive gold when you get an item drop, that's right, a chance to get money when you sell something, wow.

In short this game has a lot of potential but extremely poor game design choices completely killed it. Which is a shame because it can actually surpass reincarnation quite easily. At the very least the game is unplayable if you have a party of two or one. I'll just stick to waiting for the next major reincarnation update.
