    This review really nailed a few of the things that finally made this game click with me when I finally got to play with friends vs solo.
    1) After beating the first few bosses we all found we preferred different abilities e.g. I liked the DoT ability vs my friend who liked the AoE.
    2) Other friend is really into the different blood buffs.
    3) Other friend is just into being a mf'ing vampire.
    4) I'm more into seeing how the weapon abilities develop and hope they add more depth and customisation to that.

    After playing this game all the way and then finishing off killing the final boss feeling extremely accomplished taking him on solo. This game is fantastic, i took my time going through it, there was no rush to get the bosses done and it was just fun. I'm not much of a grinder but this game didn't bother me at all and more so relaxed me since there was no rush to do anything. One day i was saying okay im going to chop wood down kind of day, other days stone or me getting distracted going into a camp to see what kind of loot i could get. other days i would explore and gather , then be ballsy trying to hit a super high level boss down when they were distracted fighting a enemy npc, other days minding my own buisness then having a jumpscare and screaming my head off ,tail tucked between my legs running from a 'skull' boss who happened to walk up on me. Honestly? when i was getting near the end of the bosses that we could defeat so far, I surprised myself when i kept thinking to myself " even when i finish... i want to do it again and start over." this game has been a blast and i do hope it succeeds.

      The thing with V rising is that if they didn't call it EA no one would suspect that it is an unfinished product. It already has a huge amount of content, progression is really smooth (first bosses are very simple as well as building, but as you progress everything gradually becomes more intricate and complex), almost absence of bugs, the only things to be fixed really are performance that shall be worked on and memory leak on some devices.

    Greatvideo, I'm kinda sad how Battlerite died, but I can't entirely blame the studio. Trying to keep a game like Battlerite alive as a small studio is a pretty gargantuan task if it's not an initial huge hit like League of Legends. Battlerites core gameplay was mechanically very solid, most of the issues came from everything around it and choosing to focus on the Battle Royale craze.
    I don't have full confidence it'll be some huge hit I'll be playing 5 years from now, but I'm confident I'll easily get 20 bucks worth of fun out of this game even if the online eventually dies because the PvE looks fun and I like this kind of gameplay + making my own builds.

    This game actually looks pretty great! I've been excited to see it for a while!
    ...Unfortunately, these devs have hurt me before.... you see, Battlerite (And Bloodline Champions before it) were some of my favorite games. I even paid up for some of their seasonal loot box thingies, to fund further development! And then... they made a fucking battle royale mode that no one wanted, instead of further developing their arena mode with more maps and champions and events. And then they tried to shove a bunch of ass mechanics from that failed battle royale mode into the main arena mode. They basically killed their own game with dumbass trend chasing and poor decisions. And I loved that game man....
    But still... I think I will check out V rising. I'll always remember how these morons killed Battlerite though.

      To be fair though their last two games ( I don't really count Battlerite Royale as a separate game) were both very small in scope as far as demographics. The action combat was great in their old games but the game mode of only arena battles made it not have a long lasting feel unless you really liked only 3v3/2v2/1v1 fighting with no objectives.
      V Rising looks like the scope of the game will capture a much bigger audience and still allow Stunlock to focus on what they do best - great action pvp. Seems like a good formula for them to focus on the game. I'm pretty sure the old games died because of population and stagnating revenue rather than the devs wanting to jump ship to another game.

    I'm very conflicted with this release. Part of me really wants to not pick it up (if only for a few years) just because I've been burned by Stunlock studios one too many times, but I can definitely see the care they've put into the trailers to present a unique and exciting game. I loved their previous game, Battlerite, to death. And seeing them having mismanaged it to such an unbelievable extent was pretty crushing. But my autism aside, Stunlock's got a good team with them. They're talented with getting action in a game just right. A lot of abilities in Battlerite just have the right oomph to it: being hit by a 2 ton shield, or having a mega-slug shot at your face feels so visceral, and I can see all that in this game too. I'm leaning on a middle ground of getting it. If they at least try to keep this game alive for 2 years then I'll check it out.
