I can't bring myself to recommend Legends of Dionysos to anyone, it's too bland. I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking, just some sidescroller slop I could enjoy for a few hours and I won't even get that. I REALLY enjoy this genre so it's a shame. If this is something you're looking for I'd redirect you to Withering Rooms which is arguably the best I've played. The Gamplay here requires you being a mix of everything, swapping between Weapons to fight. Fairly similar to Guild Wars 2 where Weapons have specific Skills for each one. So if you're an 'Archer' and an Enemy gets on top of you, you can use the Bow to slide away, switch to Staff to blink and gain more distance, then to Shield to heal, then back to the Bow.

What are the Issues?
- Traveling is a Chore and every map/arena is too big. Squeeze everything down a little. When Waves spawn in Arenas you practically need to go kick an enemy in the head to come towards you. Enemies need to just start moving towards the Player as soon as the Wave spawns. The Portal Home should also have a 'Return Portal' similar to many ARPGs like Diablo.

- Unable to hover over anything. You can't read any Skill Descriptions or Stats. My assumption is that STAM/STR/DEX/INT directly scales into Shield/Sword/Bow/Staff, which if true it's incredibly lazy.

- Leveling up (the main aspect of the game) only nets you increased stats. Armor directly scales with level so anytime you level up your armor is immediately outdated.

- No Talent Tree whatsoever, so the only 'spec' in the game is trying to focus a specific armor type which have affixes like "of the Knight/Mage" to give TINY extra bonuses to STR/INT.

- Animations and Movement are janky.


What I'd WANT from a game like this is:
- Weapon/Armor Sets at specific Levels (7, 13, 19, 25, etc) that give bonuses (or Skill boosts). Look at how MMO's or other RPGs handle this system, it's not new Armor at every level.

- A Talent Tree (gives something for Leveling up). This can help make the 'build' that Players want to use.

- More Skills, and the ability to form a personalized Build. There should be Weapon-specific, and NON-specific Skills.
