This has enormous potential and a very enjoyable gameplay loop with excellent PS1/N64 nostalgia graphics. I just have some comments for the devs.

I think the games are too short. I've beaten Death three times now in 2 hours, and it felt like my build was just getting started each time and I was sad that the game was over already. I would figure out a way to pace the game a little slower with more rounds, where a game of dice with death takes 60 minutes on average like a Binding of Isaac or Balatro run. Because this is a game where relic choices and synergies matter a ton, just like Isaac's items and Balatro's jokers.

I also greatly dislike Death's "unable to fumble" relic he gets later in the game, it just feels cheap and I would find a different way to add more difficulty to those rounds.

Keep up the great work! Love the game so far.

I really want to like this game, I love the concept and the game has beautiful spell effects that even triple A games don't have, and its a very cool engine that is unique in style. I can't recommend it. Difficulty is one thing, but this is the hardest game I have ever played, by far, and I own an NES and have 100% Binding of Isaac. But it's difficult for the wrong reasons. No matter how good of player you are or how long you've played, you will die and lose all your progress and start over. You are only getting far in this game if you are extremely lucky, install cheats, or are extremely careful and only inch you way through the game being careful not to make any mistake whatsoever, and even then there are enemies that can just teleport behind you and one shot you or douse you in lava and you die in seconds.

Who is this game for? I think even hardcore, god gamers would get frustrated with this game within hours. I really feel the devs missed an opportunity to make this a smash hit, because there's a lot here to be as good/popular as Terraria/Core Keeper/Etc. but they are very stubborn with their vision and this is more a magic wand tech demo than a game. They have a good concept and engine here, but a ways to go to make it a fully fleshed game.

It's alright, it's not finished and needs a ton more polish. It feels like a game made in 2004, and that's not a bad thing. But there isn't as much depth as I hoped. It is heavily modeled after Diablo 1/2 in atmosphere and graphics, and Vampire Survivors for gameplay. I just don't find the skills or characters interesting like Vampire Survivors. Animations for attacks and skills are severely lacking and need an overhaul

It's good for about 20 hours. But then its repetitive and one-dimensional, once you do everything in a biome there's no reason to visit again. And this game is limited on biomes.

Its lacking in game design. Its got good elements but I feel like this needed more work at the chalkboard before release. Feels rushed. But again, its a good first 20 hours with a friend so I can't complain

This is a great action RPG, in a great atmosphere with unique graphics and story and a fricking awesome way of gaining power for your weapons. Diablo and Blizzard should take note, this is how you have skills and weapon effects. Its also very rewarding getting out of Hell for the first time and beating the final boss, its an euphoric moment.

The problem is, and I hope they fix in Hades II (which I wont try til several years from now so they can iron out all the issues) is that it is just way too grindy and you hit a point where you'd like to finish more of the story, max out gifts for everyone, etc. but you don't really want to put in the grind to do so. Items needed are just too rare and random and you realistically have to play the same 4 levels for hundreds of hours to 100% this game. While I loved my time with it, I have no desire to put in the grind like I wanted to in other games... escaping 7 times in a row with increasing heat was enough for me and I don't want to put in the effort to max all the weapons or gift all the gods, that's ridiculous

They did a great ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ job with this remaster. Watching the behind the scenes content was amazing too. Hopefully EA stops being a ♥♥♥♥ and allows a RA2/YR/Tiberian Sun remaster, in the same vein

What is there to say, its one of the best games of all time, subjectively. The right about of feels, comedy, gameplay, difficulty, and an incredible, S++ soundtrack

BG3 lovers should play this, I found the story to be a bit faster and grabbier than BG3. Its functionally the same gameplay wise

Yeah, I refunded after 15 minutes. I'm sure the story is great but I was frustrated with the very poor game design immediately. A story based game shouldn't have you pulling your hair out within the first 15 minutes just to get going. Take a page from Undertale on how to hook you and teach you about the basics without handholding

I have completed the game. 900 hours to get Dead God. You cannot pay me enough money to try to get it on the other two files. Now become back my money
