This game went from a "Oh this is kind of fun" to an absolute system wrecking disaster of an eye-bleeding mess that feels far too reliant on RNG for the mid-game and a horrible grind system near the end for the last few unlocks.
AngryCyc is pretty dead on here. Fireball being your BnB damage until Spire is just very underwhelming. Hearts Cap, no matter how many you manage to pick up (yet still carry over to completion %? Somewhat disappointing). Scouring every last pixel of the map is really aggravating. I almost quit when I missed a small jump (even with every Jump Powerup available) going to one of the gates and had to make a 2minute detour to get back to where I was, because jumping back up was impossible. Poor map balancing... just.. Meh.
The only thing I can request is twofold. Armor Shops and Weapon Shops should either be taken out of the RNG, or replaced with other shops once you have full upgrades. If Armor shops are kept, they should retain the HPRecover property and if Weapon Shops are kept they should have a Divine Blade purchase. Nothing makes me more sad than killing a dragon then running into 2-3 Sword/Wep shops in a row only to find another dragon.
Secretandsin: You can actually do it earlier than that in Vault Defense 5, Wave 1. Shoot the first 2 bunnies to stun them (or kill if you have any +Wep upgrades). Requires a prompt bat nuke drop however, but considering it's wave1, you can easily recycle it easier than doing 5/5 Wave10. - Will award a 33combo.
To actually make that more precise and the fact I can't delete the other comment.
The game is completely unplayable on a near top of the line, 1 year old laptop.
I honestly have no idea why this game was badged at all. The gameplay is nothing but a 15 year old clone with almost every material being directly stolen from one source or another. The leveling system is atrocious unless you idle in the spa for 5+ days and the game doesn't even "start" until L11.
Zlah: What's worse is being able to chain spam the Belly Attack for the Range Knockback/safety and linking it to the uppercut, which re-links it back to the belly attack so you can just juggle 2 supermoves back to back faster than you can standard light swing for triple the damage output.
You may want to consider actually having working weaponry. The fact that the Mp5 does more DPM/DPS and is more reliable than ANY other weapon is ridiculous. Also, hitting someone with a Headshot on the Sniper along with a grenade isn't enough to kill someone? HAH
