AK-xolotl Review (Pocket medic)
I know its still launch day meaning there will be issues but my problems arent bugs its the game loop which is MASSIVELY important for a roguelike or rogue-lite.
this game has a ROUGH first impression. I know its a roguelite but i mean you start with practically NOTHING in the item pool. (only like 4 guns) Though after unlocking some guns and a few items the game gets much more bearable. Though to unlock the better guns it takes like 20 to 30 gems which is insane considering how grindy it is to get more. (only getting about 5 per boss and 2 if you find a gem room) Then it feels like they tried to do the resource collecting from something like cult of the lamb but the problem is that you have to make it far enough in a run to get better resources and even if you get there you will not get enough from one run for anything. meaning it requires even more grinding. This game takes its roguelite title and makes you pay for it. theres just WAY too much grinding.
so while i do think its a good game and deserves some good support, if you're not a fan of rogueLITES there is no way this will be one you'll enjoy.
I know ill be returning to this game when it hopefully gets better. but for now its just a mindless grind for anything fun.
