I’ve watched a few streamers play this before I tried it today, vibe is great and even if the audio could use some balancing it really added to the game. The interconnected map was fun to explore after I’d earned a few levels so I could actually kill stuff. The rats gave me so much trouble!
The combat feels slow and intentional, but I did mostly relied on getting close to enemies, stepping back while they attacked, stepping forward and swinging, and repeating. Trying to hit and then block was too frustrating for me to rely on it.
The direction of the lockpick with the mouse was backwards from how I expected but I did manage to open the door!
Also I played for about an hour and only got one crit! I saw there was a perk that would make that better but sliiiightly more frequent crits might make the early game feel less impossible.
Overall pretty fun though, I found everything I could in the first crypt level and enjoyed my time.
