Arcade Hunter: Sword and Gun

This game is better by far more than Archero. But Why does the forge only make epic/red gear? I have to sacrifice 3 of my golden armor, which is so hard to get in the first place, to make 1 RANDOM piece of gear that I prob don’t want and won’t match any of the sets I have left? Why can’t I pick what epic gear to make? I should be able to combine old or unwanted items to progress them, or just take bunch of baseline items to make a better one instead of recycle them for things I don’t need. Recycle only takes you so far and Archero knew that. Why don’t you allow combining of items? I can’t afford to waste that much money on buying items just to throw them away. COVID won’t allow people to throw money away like that. Throw us a bone and please fix the forge to either combine more lower tier items or allow me to pick what gear I want o make.

This is a great game, it does things a lot better than other similar titles. But, at certain points the difficulty is 5 times what the previous stage was. I’ve gone from a stage with two enemies, to a stage with eight enemies, all firing at me with bullets, lasers and some kind of hazardous slime that stays on the stage. Than back to only two cannons on the next stage. Also the character that I like to use is really slow moving, I don’t know if all the characters move at the same speed, because I only use the one but, fighting two mini bosses that bombard the screen with projectiles is ridiculous, plus some of them leave temporary stage hazards like slime or fire which you can’t avoid while dodging bullets. Well that’s my two cents otherwise great game. Sept. 27, 2020 I’ve been playing the endless tower and the power-ups aren’t very randomized, the same ones keep coming up but I hardly ever get speed boosts. I’ve played for over an hour and didn’t get one.

I started playing this after growing tired of Archero. The battle system, main story line, side quests etc. all make a lot of sense. Definitely a 5 star game. Understanding the game will evolve I have 3 complaints/suggestions: Forge - this is a newer feature, would be nice to have a way to forge old normal/blue/purple/ gear instead of just legendary (gold). Power Balance - the game’s difficulty factor constantly changes based on how powerful the character is. While this allows the game to stay challenging, it makes power ups kinda meaningless because the moment you power up, so do monsters. I’d like to have a least a moment to enjoy and notice my power up. Store legendary odds: the game says there is a 7% chance but that isn’t exactly accurate, what it really means is you will get a legendary every 12 rolls (but never 2 times in a row). I think this is where Archero was better. I think they should still give the 12th roll guarantee but also give a small chance of an actual legendary. Those are my main complaints but besides that the game is great.
