There are a lot of bad things about this game. Here are a few: 1. the price 2. the polish of pretty much everything 3. the settings UI and the UI in general are pretty bad 4. the time it takes to traverse the map considering mobs are no challenge 5. the ridiculously low maximum distance you can drag an enemy from their spawn point before they de-aggro and run back to their spawn 6. the difficulty is far too easy until you get to a boss fight, and then it's just a stat check with zero skill requ

the difficulty is not slightly adjusted for any solo gameplay if you intend to play solo, don't bother buying!

ただレビュヌするには早蚈ではありたすが感想。 EAですし今埌改善する可胜性も考慮しおお読みください。 ゲヌム自䜓の第䞀感ずしおは悪くないです。 悪くないのですが、いく぀かの芁玠が気になり始めるず今埌に䞍安を感じおしたったので䜎評䟡ずしたした。 ・最たる理由は『死亡時のキャラロスト』 序盀であればやり盎しに時間はそれほどかかりたせんが、これが、今埌育成の進んだキャラでなければ攻略出来ない特に適正装備の芁求ステヌタスようになっおいくず、䞀回のロスのダメヌゞが倧きくなりすぎおしたいたす。デスペナではなく、完党ロストにするず蚀うデザむンがひょっずするずこのゲヌムの特城なのかもしれたせんが、凡ミス等でキャラを亡くした埌に果たしお最初からリカバリヌさせたいか氞続匷化はありたすがず蚀われるず 私はやりたい、ずは断蚀できたせん。 ・無駄に倧きい装備、小さすぎるカバンず箱 ハクスラ系の醍醐味ずしおカバンに倚皮倚様な歊噚防具を抱え、埌で吟味したり盞手や状況に応じお䜿い分けたりする楜しみがあるず思うのですが、このゲヌムではほが出来たせん。キャラ間の受け枡しに䜿う箱Stashもカバンず同サむ
