Conquest Dark

I want to recommend this game. I would have, prior to the most recent update. That's got me on the ropes. The most recent update destroys any sort of attempt at making unique builds. Want to build a heavy tank with the new shield and flail?! Well tough, because you'll time out of the battles. Want to build some strange quick build with the "uber boss" hand katars? Nah. Because they don't cleave. So you'll time out and take "Cosmic Damage" because of course you can't hit your target well enough in the couple minutes you're granted to do so. Want to KILL that uber boss? Well, you have options. And that's barbarian. Maybe thief, if you're lucky. That's about it. Unless you've already killed her! Then you've unlocked using bows to kill her with the arrow artifact! If you haven't purchased it yet, stay away. At least until the developer decides if he's making a game with 1 or 2 actual functioning builds for a SINGLE PLAYER GAME or if he's going to target the "cheese" builds that self-h...

The new update took a while to get here and there's two big things that make me think the design ideas are not aimed at the player having fun: gambling alters, and enrage timers. Enrage timers in MMOs are to prevent cheesing with "all healers" or something like that. In single player, it's a sign of terrible balance implementation - you should NEVER be concerned about if players are cheesing a single player game but also you shouldn't need to implement timers for 2, 3, 8(!) minutes for a single boss in a game like this. That's just godawful balance. If you can get TO THE BOSS that means you should have the ability to defeat it, in a reasonable time. Between that and the meta Stat bonuses now being tied to gambling, often with 1-2 runs worth of currency to try and eek out 1% crit more, I just don't think the dev knows what makes these games fun, and I'm not going to give my time to something going in that direction.

The game is feature-incomplete imo, and doesn't receive updates often enough for me to recommend it.

As others have mentioned, this is a grind fest, mostly in tiny arenas. There are only a few events to mix things up and very little difference between many of the weapons and drops. In fact, when offered three choices in an equipment drop, two of the three are often identical. Furthermore, there is a difficulty system that's very hard to parse. There are multiple places to put shards that offer different rewards and increases to enemy stats. I wind up with games that are walk-overs or tedious grinds against boring bosses that have one or two tricks and buckets of HP. In the latest patch, the developer addressed the issue of the end bosses being boring slogs by accusing us of making 'sub-optimal' builds... whatever that means in a largely undefined game. I've leveled up many abilities to maximum level and tried every class and build combo I could think of and it's still either a walk-over or the most tedious of grinds. Frankly, the developer comes across as both lazy and arrogant. Ra...

They ruined the game with recent update, now more rolls but never get what want ex if playing lunar or solar build will purposely not get passive of same type when trying to get bonus skill on gold armor. And added new armor with great stats re rolled over 30+ times couldn't even get a 2 piece set

need more content but great base

Abandonware. Wouldn't touch.

Demo to early access added very little. Updates are basically nothing. it's a simplistic game design I thought there would be frequent updates with added content based on the map, but I am pretty sure it's just a slapped together cash grab and not going to be finished.

Really enjoying this game so far. I've not put a lot of time into it yet. But already glad I purchased the game. Great progression, veriety and controls are right. Recommended!

This game's developer doesn't listen to feedback. Whichever update made it such that losing one life meant you were permanently playing on a timer the rest of the mission was the one that made me wish I had refunded sooner. The bosses take way too long to beat, the whole process is more than a bit stale and it really lends the "-lite" tag to everything this game tries to be. "Roguelike?" Nay, I say Roguelike-lite because there's no reason to pick anything other than two builds. RPG? Try again, ARPG-lite, there are no roles in this single-player game, it doesn't even have different classes (they're just auto-attacking bots). Alpha game? Doesn't matter, updates aren't coming fast enough and the studio is one dude who isn't Tyler from Schedule 1. The money he makes doing this doesn't justify the effort required (which currently isn't being applied) to continue supporting this pet project. It was a valiant effort, and the skeleton of a great game, but this one died of Sudden Infant Death s...
