51 Hour Review
*updates post-announcement*
Hi guys, I've played this quite a bit. I decided to read through the negative reviews and there is just a LOT of misinformation in there.
I'll set some things straight!
1. The underwear that is $9.99 does not have ANY stats on it. Everyone spreading information that it does has no idea what they are talking about.
2. The DLC classes are not overpowered. The meta is Archer/Witch, Archer/Fist, Archer/Sword, or Fist/Sword. If anything, Archer may be a tad bit strong :3.
3. Some people said that their ult did less damage than an auto attack. They were likely comparing archer ult (not very high damage) to witch auto attack (witch does a lot of damage, but easy to dodge as the projectiles are slow with plenty of space between).
4. This was marketed as a PvE/PvP game. It was my understanding that the focus would be on PvP. There really isn't much content here, but this shouldn't stop you from having a bit of fun every now and then while you wait for them to add new content. They already mentioned, a few days in, adding the dual blade class soon.
5. People have mentioned grinding to unlock gear that has better stats than the starter gear. All gear shares the same strength. The stat types may vary, but the stat values start at the same regardless of the type of gear. You grind to unlock gear for cosmetic purpose or increase the strength of existing gear through an upgrade system.
6. Stunlock PvP? You can definitely get stunlocked. That's why it's 2v2 and you can swap between a breaker and a slayer. The breaker can easily break stunlocks + tank. All about that teamwork. If you charge in alone and get 1v2'd, you're probably going to get stunlocked 100-0. This is a pure "git gud" right here.
7. Lag, lobby bug, steam inventory item usage... well, this is an Early Access game, so... they're already releasing an emergency patch a few days in. Still plenty of bugs, but they were addressed by the announcement. We can assume that they are working to resolve these issues.
8. DLC for $$. They are removing this. These classes will now be free.
9. The lootboxes, I will not lie, are garbo.
10. Rebirth tokens are a clear P2W, but they are already resolving them.

What you will get is a fantastic combat system, great graphics, and fun 2v2 matches ^_^. I'd recommend to start getting serious at launch when they have a whole bunch of content for you to enjoy and to just touch on it until then = ). PvE can get really repetitive, but I personally find the PvP to be loads of fun even if the modes are kinda uninspiring and the stages are few.
