The complexity and variety of the weapons, as well as the different monsters and the personalities is what I like about them. It’s basically a boss rush game with the occasional gathering session for environmental resources.

It’s not a game for everyone, and it’s kinda a running meme that everyone drops it shortly after there first time playing it, only to come back years later and get completely hooked.

If you do decide to try it, I really suggest messing around with the weapons in the training area until you find one interesting to you, and then searching up a guide for it.

If your looking for a f2p game similar to this just play Beyond All Reason.

Free and open source. No energy system or microtransactions.

Not asynchronous though.
