Great fun! Only problem is, once a build gets optimized, everything just explodes every time I drop a ball. Game seems to stutter hard whenever a build gets too optimized/overblown. It's fun, it's stupid, but my pc crie.

If you loved Curse of the Dead Gods but felt like you needed friends and strangers suffering along with you in real time, first seek professional help. However after all that you should probably check this game out.

Decent deckbuilder, awesome art style - but prepare yourself to aim for very specific builds and map routes should you want to win a run. Endgame requires players to visit key points on the map just so people can get past the final boss's phases.

I personally don't like that. It heavily limits player freedom and creativity.

I buy new game. I open new game. I close game. I open Backpack Battles. Why.

Parts of the game still feel clunky and unfinished. Game kinda feels like it should still be in early access. A few QOL patches will easily amend this. But underneath a bit of jank here and there, there's a great game.

10/10 my head hurts

This is Black Future '88 but better.

Look at how Dead Cells is today. Let it simmer.

What am I doing. This is not even my genre.

For the game's initial EA release, it already feels very optimized - it plays like a dream.
However, it isn't without hiccups. One common gripe players have is the game does not allow buildings to be rotated - this feels very detrimental for a game that's designed to limit your buildable space. The game constantly asks you to try to make do and fit in as much as you can with the small patches of land you are given, and not being able to rotate buildings to somehow make everything fit ends up having 1-4 tiles empty and unused.
