This is WoW: Oops! All Mythic+. It's all the fun of dungeon grinding and gearing up without having to do the prep work to get there. If that's what you're after, you'll love this game.

Pros:
Mechanically fluid, has that "I press a button and it immediately does the thing" feeling that a lot of MMOs struggle with
Interesting and unique class design (Sylvie being the most stand out member of the list so far)
Unique and fun to handle mechanics, especially in the 3 boss dungeons.

Cons:
Chat system needs a lot of work, no whisper functionality or group chat
Load screens get hung up sometimes, needing an alt+f4 and reset to fix
Frequent disconnections after finishing a dungeon, either "Server full" or "Lost connection to Host"


TLDR;
If this is their version 0.1 this is an EXCELLENT starting point and will be well worth keeping an eye on this game for full release in the future.

Early Access Review
Decent roguelike with a heavy focus on positioning, as your attacks all go off on a timer. Nice and simple, nothing too extravagant but definitely worth the $3 price point I see myself spending many more hours in this game

This game absolutely OOZES passion. Every little nook and cranny has somewhere new to explore, new characters to meet or enemies to fight. The NPCs and world feel alive, with all sorts of funny situations and dialogues to find.

The combat is very tactical for this genre, with a robust cross classing system. Build variety is positively wild, you can have a balanced party or run around with 4 warlocks each having a different subclass to fill a different role. Change classes at will, and level up as different classes to get passives or a different array of stats when leveling up.

*Edit*: It is the wee hours of the morning and in my sleepy haze I forgot to mention a couple things, so here they are. First, -the music-. The soundtrack is legendary, covering a range of emotions / vibes from a tranquil forest area to the heat of battle

Not only is this game a solid 10/10 rpg in terms of class/world design and character progression, it has some of the best platforming I've experienced in any game. Finding all the jumping puzzles and little extra places you can get to feels both rewarding and fun.

All in all, I'm only 13hrs in and I can tell already that this game is an absolute gem that should go down as one of the best in the genre.

I'll start by saying that this is one that I've beaten several times across multiple consoles. Still it remains one of, it not my favorite game.

Pros:
- Replay value. While the story itself is relatively linear compared to most titles like it that are out today, each situation you encounter in game can have several different ways of resolving based on your character alignment, your party's skillsets, etc.

- Uses a live action d20 system with pausing for combat. As a D&D player I must say that this is one of the best adaptations of a d20 system into a video game to date.

- LIGHTSABERS AND THE FORCE. This point needs no further elaboration.

Cons:

- Can definitely feel "dated" to those of us that are used to more modern games and systems.

- Playing the game on newer operating systems and monitors with higher resolutions can get wonky, as the max resolution available without modding is 1280x1024 with no windowed option.

- Has a habit of crashing at random on newer operating systems, so quicksave OFTEN.


TL;DR: While this game is a truly authentic Star Wars experience with lots of weight to your choices for the time it was made, be prepared for the technical frustrations that can come with playing old games on new hardware / software.

Very very short game, but it is absolutely free and has extremely satisfying gameplay. You play as an anime girl killing up a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of robots and hacking into various things (which consists of more blowing up robots).

10/10, if this game had 50-60 hours of content I'd gladly pay normal game prices for it
