But fortunately, as you reach the later difficulties and chapters, these enemies do start to appear, and the variety of the enemy’s attacks matches that of their visual appearance.īosses are all very well designed and add a nice change of pace to the gameplay requiring you to decide when and what to attack.

The distinct lack of elite style enemies with unique attacks can make fights slightly repetitive. While the variety in abilities is vast, the same cannot be said for the enemies. Oh, and did I mention there’s also another skill tree filled with insane god skills to check out. It was all focused on the fun I was having with the abilities, and I never felt pressured to pick the best possible combination. During my time playing, I was constantly swapping out skills to see what fit best my playstyle and what abilities I could string together to make effective combinations.

Rather than just giving you skills when you level up, the game also offers skill points that will upgrade specific skills, passive and active, or swap them out for new ones. From summoning druids to buffing allies, there a large variety of special attacks to choose from. All the abilities are unique and change the way you play. The skill system is designed to provide you with the choice of how you build your character.

The constant cycle between building up energy then splurging it all to clear out enemies is continually engaging and gives balance to the combat rather than spamming your best attack. The way your character can chain together abilities to carve through waves of enemies is buttery smooth. “From summoning druids to buffing allies, there is a large variety of special attacks to choose from.”
