My hope rose a bit with the developer updates prior to release, the aesthetics suggested a good old suda game, it wasn't enough but at least a good start . . .
   After playing 6 hours with the game I can say it without doubt in my heart that it IS a true suda game and it contains all the humor a random moments you would expect from him and his studio.
   
   Now about the game a bit, far what it is(ft2) it looks great, and has a solid combat system, not the best, but it is presentable and souls fan will be right at home with this one I believe. The story mode that we got seems to be a pretty long run, I'm looking forward to climbing that tower.
   
   I see no reason why should anyone hesitate downloading the game, but I have to admit, if you did not like Grasshoppers' previous titles you'll probably hate this one too. To a fan of this studio it was a nice present, and I appreciate it for what it is, the lack of a platinum trophy IS a bummer though.… Expand

   If you've played a lot of dungeon-crawler games, and I mean a LOT. Like every other game from the 80's and 90's was a dungeon crawler. InsertIf you've played a lot of dungeon-crawler games, and I mean a LOT. Like every other game from the 80's and 90's was a dungeon crawler. Insert weaponized character into a world where he/she has to hack and slash through a tunnel-world of baddies out to kill you, after you upgrade from your fists of course. Eat things to gain life, level up weapons and your character, defeat bosses and move to the next level. Grind your way through tunnel rats, zombies, mazes, tricky platforms to get coins and experience and you have another dungeon crawler. What sets this game apart is that the grinding doesn't feel like a grind. There is never that moment where you get tired of the old "oh great I have to go through this same level yet again to kill another 100 tunnel rats (I say tunnel rats as a cliche dungeon crawler thing). This game is fair as far as free-to-play games. There is no trick to get you started where you eventually have to pay up or wait. It's all about your skill and planning. It seems that paying in this game will leave you actually worse off than not because you end up progressing too fast. There is a lot to do before leveling up to the next tiers and defeating the next boss. It's a game of slow-progression and preparation that takes time and planning. There are no tricks or traps that kill you instantly and ask if you want to pay to proceed. It's not a game ender to die either, mistakes made in this game are entirely your fault and you do pay a price, but it doesn't need to be real money.… Expand

   A good souls like game with the freaking atmosphere of Suda 51 and a dungeon crawler-roge like sistem.

   It´s F2P (wich is always good) but requieres a lot of grinding to level up and earn money.
   
   The online features are bit poor and most of the times frustrating, specially the invasions.
   
   when reached the third area, the difficulty goes up and the enemies becomes incredibly dangerous, dying time over time and oughting you to use microtransactions.
   
   It´s a good experience, but can become frustrating if not paying.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the game has a tier system for characters spanning 5 grades. when you reach certain floors in the 40 floor tower of barbs you will unlock a higher grade character with a higher level cap and have to level them up again from scratch which doesn't take long.
   the combat places a lot of importance on perfect spacing and timing. you will face a lot of OP enemies that can kill you with one combo if you wiff an attack. the balancing factor to this is death metals, tokens that buy you a continue, restoring you to full health and giving you a few seconds of invincibility to potentially finish off whatever enemy was giving you trouble. you start with some for free and can potentially get unlimited ones for free as login bonuses if you're willing to wait long enough for the next one. selling death metals as microtransations on the psn store is how this free to play game intends to make money and a lot of the level design/layout, especially past the 20th floor reflect this a little too much. basically the higher you get the more you realize that bosses are not meant to be beaten by perseverance, trial and error, learning their moves or anything of the sort. the cost of retrying when dying to a boss is so high, either spending potentially over 2 hours farming gold for the salvage fee to get the character back or using another character to kill your character's hater (AI replication of your character as an enemy on the floor where they died) to reclaim them minus all of their equipped and stored gear, that you will quickly see death metals or certain mushrooms that essentially let you wail on the boss while they ignore you as the only valid method for approaching a boss fight. personally after climbing to floor 30 i found this approach towards bosses so unsatisfying and the game so ultimately dismissive towards the idea of rewarding the player for facing a challenge and overcoming difficulty that i lost all interest in progressing further.… Expand

They've ramped up the difficulty in number only, altered the decal drop rates (main source of progression outside of gear), and significantly increased the cost of gear for new floors while not matching the rewards enough to even cover gear on successful runs.
   
   -If you are wearing the latest armor maxed on the latest levels/floors with the latest weapon maxed for current content, you will deal quite a bit less damage, but take a MASSIVE amount of damage more than using the previous tier of maxed armor/weapons against the previously highest enemies. On the new floors, they mostly use the same types of weapons as previous floors but with simply higher damage numbers. The only thing they did for the new floors was add red smoke and replace every enemy spawn with the hardest enemies.
   
   -Players had tried to determine the decal (provides passive bonuses/traits for character) drop rate closer to launch, and when they tried to do so again more recently they noticed a sharp drop in rare decals. Note that they recently add a paid source rare of decals when previously the only way to get decals with cash was a brutally inefficient exchange rate with standard currency (bad enough that nobody would do it, believe me).
   
   -The new floors take a lot of of the top gear. This is fair. However, they didn't do any tuning at all with the rewards - you don't get enough currency to cover gear costs. The immense hp sponge aspects and sharp damage increase should warrant enough currency for gear and THEN SOME. Instead, they're actively starving us likely in anticipation of some way to monetize it based on recent additions to the game.
   
   Basically - Play the first 40 floors of the game, they're fun and progression is not bad because they didn't design them with pay to win elements in mind. Don't spend a god damn penny unless you hear that they unscammed the game.… Expand
