Hollow Survivors Review (p4ndr)
Look, i want to like this. I want to love this. The aesthetic, the sound design, the music, it's all top notch. the story (as far as I have gotten) seems really interesting and well thought out. It has everything i love about rogue{sub-genre}'s i love: meta progression, different weapons, interesting skills.
but.
oh my god the combat is terrible. Clunky doesn't even begin to describe it. Sluggish controls paired with a reaction-time-centric mechanics? Only being able to attack in the direction you're moving? No aiming indication for your ranged spell, which is one half of your combat abilities? Everything else, and i mean everything else is top notch. If they can sort out the combat to feel even slightly less painful, it's a definite winner.
