Anvil

Co-op Roguelite ARPG. warframe like visual designs.
plays like Destiny, etc.. but top down. skills, upgrades, etc are sortof Hades like.

Its in early access. This is on Gamepass. a free demo on steam(not sure what thats like.) but even at the $22 full price I think it'd be good fun. def check it out, if you have gamepass.

like 16 characters I think atm. 4 start unlocked.

it seems tough, given my early playthroughs. I've FAILED to complete a mission, every single time so far. Although, I'm not sure how much is missing key boss strategies.. versus late game monster's being over tuned, and becoming bullet sponges. That seems to be an issue. shit just doesn't die. and the longer you take, enemies get MORE hp, and damage..
There is a mechanic where, the runs are timed. and over time enemies get hp and damage buffs.

I suppose thats true. this is a bit Destiny, a bit hades, arpg. it feels more on the arpg and Destiny side. it feels like you are supposed to be able to beat these bosses.. but your bullets just arn't doing enough damage. so after 4min of outplaying the boss, you eventually get 1 shot.

so yeah, its unclear atm, where the line for "get gud", versus passive roguelite perm unlocks, versus untuned is. like Tribes of midgard, there was a clear improvement of play, as I learned the game. the line of "get gud" was very clear.

im not sure I see the seasonal aspect as much of an issue. That said, rebranding is a huge red flag. rarely do we see large amounts of actual game improvements when doing that.

so, just check out via gamepass. don't buy it.
