Class is reasonably fun, unfortunately it -- along with the update it came with -- is a broken mess. Loads of talent bugs, crashes, instability and more.

The parts that do work leave the class in an overtuned state, pushing the ever-increasing power creep of this game to new heights, with the devs seemingly petrified of ever nerfing anything. It has probably been over a year since any real balancing was done and this class only serves to make things worse.

It's such a massive shame. This is one of the best games from an overall gameplay perspective that I've ever found.

Unfortunately, Fatshark QA is extremely poor. Every patch has massive bugs, talent nodes remain broken for months, if not years, their UX is consistently poor and has to be fixed by the community, and a laundry list of other problems that constantly plague the game. It's astounding to me the quality they're comfortable with shipping. With competent management, this company and franchise would dominate. Instead it's forced to languish in just-above failure as they continue to put out a small handful of half-baked updates a year.

Apparently this has been the way of things for all of their titles, so I would not expect the situation to measurably improve long-term.

It crash. It trash.

First off, yes this is a low-cost and simple game. If you're just looking for something mindless to pass the time, it's not the worst way I can imagine doing it. It's just too short, uneven, and - by the end - uninteresting to truly recommend.

The first hour or so is great, strategically trying to hit groups of enemies and choose powerups. Unfortunately, It quickly hits a point where you enter a level, place yourself wherever, and occasionally pick up the currency around the screen as things explode until you either die due to scaling or win the level. At this point, you're maybe 2 hours into a game that will last 4 hours. The last half was just repeating this over and over until it "ended."

Has become a much more fleshed out game since initial release. Lots of modes and incremental progress to be made, allowing it to be a semi-mindless game that's good for relaxing or doing while watching/listening to something else.
