**update**
So, after buying this at launch…. I’ve played and played and played this one. I’m still only at level NG+5, but still…. Still have a hard time putting this one down some days.
Very few games on the AppStore have staying power.
For me, this is definitely one of them.
OG “review”::
There haven’t been too many ‘instant winners’ in my 11 or so years of iOS gaming, but THIS easily qualifies. Yes, the RNG setup can totally wreck your game. Yes, there are ways to minimize the chance of that happening. No, the RNG doesn’t make this game unfair. If anything, it kind of feels like Dead Cells in that regard. The different layouts you can wind up putting together can sometimes surprise you. And even when you feel you’ve got a build that is CRAZY overpowered, the game can still ro-sham-bo you in a heartbeat. I made it to level 91... was killing elites BEFORE the first wave of enemies could even spawn.... Then I made a mistake. And the game took advantage of that... and put me back in my place. To the dev: this is a MASTERPIECE! I have no doubt that scores of DLC modes could be done... dunno if you have plans to, but count me in for an insta-purchase if you ever do. If not... that’s cool too, as simple as this game is, it’s got quite a bit of meat on its bones. Thank you so much for porting it over to the iOS!!! Easy contender for GOTY.
