i encountered the same bug as stormwindow, if i loaded a local save i got negative resources. Additionally, my prestige tab also got locked and tells me i need to earn 100m to unlock. I was on the end on my 4th or 5th ascension and gain 1No gold from just a lvl 0 block, so not sure what i'll do now
I tried to complete hardcore 5 times before i realised that checkpoints works like quick travel. If you're grabing a key/potion/whatever and if you don't oneshot monsters on your way back, it's almost always better to quick travel and save a few points of damage. On lvl 42 i went for torches and getting pickaxe rather than fighting ice skulls and trying to get purple+red skulls. When you get all torches and sword, you get 1xp from monsters again and can grind lvls that way. Also skeletons is a bit tricky, but only fight them until you level up before starting killing priest. Kill skeletons guarding potions instead of farming keys, you really need potions at this point.
It was a fun game and it has a lot of potential, but i feel the lack of information was a lackluster. No tooltips/information on how good skills were. Not knowing what enemies you face in the different waves could be cool, but later in the game when you die if you're not using right skills, more often than not i had to try to replay and try get one wave longer than last so i know which skills to use. Spinning wheel only felt rewarding the first minutes, ~5k gold or a key felt useless when you're starting to have 40k+ item costs. And lastly, there was no info that the last boss actually was the last boss, i saved my keys for legendary key at higher level when it would be harder to progress, but didint get to use them at all.
It is a well game done with many elements that worked well, but the lack of information get's more punishing lategame. I wish some info on skills and progress would be clear, but i do recommend playing it.
I'm beat 120 2-3 times now and got enough for a tier 5 upgrade, while i thought i noticed something strange. First off, the tier 5 upgrade(for any tree) jumped from 14k to 20k which is a big increase, and the lower tier upgrade costs alot too, secondly, it seems i reset thrice in a row on lvl 100 and each time i got lesser perks, is it random or does it decrease the more times you have beaten a boss?
Came to lvl 100, reincarnaited 10 times and at this point it's so slow upgrading skills.. will have to reincarnate 3 times to get my next useful skills, and i just skip bosses(slayer),assasin and spell/skill tree because the upgrades costs too much for almost nothing now.. 536 perks for first upgrade in (Slayer) tree is just too expensive for barely nothing, i like the other parts of the game but it feels too punishing playing only for 2-3 days because it's so hard to prestige
50,000 goal for survival is too high, almost 450,000 plays and only 97 people made it so far, I'm struggling with reaching 4k(3,3k max) but only around 25k+ in loot and i need twice, that's insane.
i'm confused too. they're trolling
