as a long time supporter, I do have to say, i AM happy with the content we get, but the game feels...meandering. Like, we're no closer to any sort of completion. Alot of pretty basic functions still either dont work, or have placeholders. New scenes and characters are being added but it doesn't feel like we're moving forward. There is no ending in sight. It feels like the game is in purgatory. No story progress is being made, even though this is a roguelite, no new stage TYPES or events....I feel like I can see this games dev cycle in the form of tree rings because im seeing that dated original art sometimes, and then those immaculate fully detailed paintings for SOME game over screens but not others.
Just kinda feels like.....we're going in circles. Theres no plan. If after 5 years I can say "oh yeah, we got the sequence of levels all planned out, the forest,, swamp, volcano, island, monster village etc, and they added the weapon upgrade system and all the equipment and all the party members have been PLANNED and somewhat implemented, things are coming together neatly" but like....I havent played the newest build but are all the swamp enemies still in a "test level" under the quest board with the same 5 or 6 repeating fetch quests? Do all the buttons in combat actually work yet? Do the characters actually have skills for that skill tab to even make sense being there yet? Is the only move in that skill tab still "H test?" You know, the H test that doesn't actually....H test?
Just you know....Thats my perspective, thats what I see. Feels like this game can just....I dunno.....suddenly stop out of nowhere. I feel the same way I did watching this game the way I felt watching literally every Legend of Krystal project back in the day. Aimless content adding, no plan, "hey guys, anyone seen the dev in like 6 months?"
