Relic Hunters Legend

Playing the demo a couple years back and watching this game develop from the sidelines, Rogue Snail ditching their old publisher (Gearbox Publishing) and scrapping their previous Free-to-Play/Live-Service model for a Community-First approach via embracing a Buy-To-Play model was the BEST DECISION this studio could have made for the health of the game- an exceptionally rare epiphany to be had by a Studio, in this day and age of gaming which is WHY they deserve your support! Additional Reasons as-to Why Relic Hunters Legend is worth the asking price: 1. No Predatory Monetization - Buy-To-Play Model: No microtransactions, battle passes, or pay-to-win mechanics. - Cosmetics earned through gameplay: Fashion Credits are dropped by enemies and rewarded for missions—no real money needed. - This respects your time and wallet by offering a complete experience upfront. 2. Deep Customization & Replayability - Choose from 6 Hunters: each with unique abilities/playstyle and three separate skil...

The core combat in this game feels great: The movement and shooting feels smooth, and the looting is rewarding. However, I have some grips with the gameplay of this game: • The UI is cumbersome and sometimes annoying. Why can't I change characters while in the hub town? Why is the item inventory not just another tab in the menu? Why can't I claim all feats (achievements) at once? etc. • The exploration in this game is honestly not fun. Some chests are locked behind some characters' abilities (why am I forced to pick Ace?), and having to stop the stage's mission to search for resource nodes or chests feels counter-intuitive and, unfortunately, annoying. Some chests are too well-hidden for a looter shooter, especially for their feeble rewards. • The games forces you to use different characters too much. In addition to exploration, I'm being forced to constantly change characters for story quests, side-quests, feats. I honestly hate this. Let me use the characters that I want, gi...

a game advertized for co-op..... but you cant play the story co-op i enjoy the gameplay but let me play with friends

Honestly I was gonna hold off until it was out of early access in a week to hop in. However it started looking better and better the longer I waited lol so I hopped right in. So far the game is great and scratches that incredibly specific looter shooter itch I've been craving since the announcement of BL4. It mildly sucks you can't play the story mode in coop but thats fine.

For a game in the price range of Relic Hunters, it punches well above it's weight. Don't be fooled by the cartoony appearance or simple looking gameplay, it's a very competent ARPG. I wasn't expecting fully handcrafted levels full of secrets to collect. Or character building on the level of Borderlands, with multiple ways to combine all 3 of the talent trees. Or the sheer amount of Legendary items and Relics there are, even in only the 1st few hours of the game. The multiplayer works perfectly and you can play your characters both online and offline, which is very nice. Especially for Steamdeck owners. So far the only downside I have is that the UI makes my eyes bleed. If you have a HDR monitor or an OLED do not play this game in full screen, you will get blinded every time you open the inventory. If you're after a looter shooter to kill time between now and Borderlands 4 or playing POE2 made you wish you were just playing a twin stick shooter instead, this is going to be the best $20...

I'm glad it went buy-to-play. I'm sad it didn't fully shed its free-to-play design.

I'm gonna be honest here: at first i pirated it, i played it, i liked it, i looked onto the steam page because i saw there were currency items i automatically connect with free2play-mtx-hells. i saw that the devs prevented their game becoming predatory. i deleted my pirated copy and bought it, because i was convinced that my money will be going to the good guys who care about their game and what influence it has on the world. And i will recommend your game whenever i get the chance. i normally wait for deep sales or bundles, because if the publisher or devs doesn't respect me, why should i pay full price? but this, just like Baldurs Gate 3 and Indies that are fairly priced i buy without even looking too hard at the cost. Because I am proud of you that you took a stand, it probably wasn't easy.

A generally neat game that is just not all that fun to be perfectly honest. The game is advertised as being playable solo, which might be technically true, but you always seem to wildly swing between "gear not good enough, so everything becomes frustrating" and "gear score good enough, so everything becomes too easy". Besides that, I feel like the game is not very well balanced. Everything just feels like it takes just that little bit too much time: reload times, ability cooldowns, enemy time-to-kill. In general, the time you reload your weapons is longer than the time you shoot your weapon with, which does not feel all that great.

TLDR: 100% worth getting if you like looter-shooters like Borderlands or Destiny, super fun solo but better with friends, play with controller for more intuitive controls, has cross-play, play free demo first if unsure, only issue I experienced was demo save didn’t transfer to full game Played the demo for 3 hours, some with Raxxanterax during he’s stream. Be sure to check him out, especially if you love tacos. We were recking everything and had a ton of fun. Won the Heroic content upgrade pack during a giveaway on the stream. I was already going to buy the game before that but that definitely gave me a good reason to lol. The game is fantastic and fun solo or with others. Has a free demo and the option to turn on cross-play. The characters have their own style to them which makes each one stand out from the rest. Play the demo first since it’s free and play with a controller if able. I played with both and definitely felt like the controller button layout was better and mor...

Great game if you like to grind. It has lots of character. Very different than what it started out as so keep that in mind when seeing old reviews.
