After 470 hours I still don't have a single prime mod.

This is a desperate cry for help :^^)

Once you make a Brick that deals 1.1 million damage in one hit, you will understand why this dlc is a must have. Red Panda girl is cool aswell.

Brick is Love, Brick is Life, in Brick we trust.

Soooo after digging around I have figured out the reason why I was motion sick from the game is that the game wasn't running smoothly at all and making me nauseus, but it might have been the engine change or one of the several patches, but the game runs buttery smooth now on my computer with the same hardware and software and I no longer feel motion sick! So as promised I'm changing my review to a positive one, now that I can play it and enjoy it!

Good job devs keep up the good work

Now how do I survive longer than 5 minutes....

Keeping the old review up for archive sake and so you can point and laugh at me for being dum dum. Hey we live and learn :)

Old Review:

Well hate to be a negative nancy, but eventho the game is really good and its pretty fun to play I can't play the game for more than 5-10 minutes without getting motion sickness and/or migraine. I wish there would be more options to remedy this issues (like disabling moving shadow animation, disabling lot of blurs and/or anti-aliasing).

Great game and I would suggest giving it a shot, but I physically can't play it :/

T;l D;R Fun and Must buy

NOW BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME, PRETTY PLEASE READ EVERY WORD CAREFULLY AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND MY POINT!
Trust me I'm not happy to make this decision aswell, but I had to. I feel guilty for doing it but for the sake of the fans and for the non-fans I had to give a negative review. If you want to argue with me or you gave me a negative review please tell it in the comments and if you are right or got a point, I'll edit my review. T;L D;R at the end.

So the review:

Let me start with my personal experience:

When I first heard that there will be a game to one of my favourite series I was astonished. But I didn't forget that I knew that small amount of people will work on it ( because its called an Indie game for reason *duh* ), so I passed the Early Access. Then Gaben deployed his Summer Sale bomb and the Devs told us that the price will increase after the full release, so I pressed the panic button and bought the game for 10 EUR. Also I suggested one of my friend to buy it and complete the game together. And so we did. The first time we finished the game was when it was still in Early Access. There were 8 Chapters (if I recall correctly) and around 1 hour game play lets say 1,5. Though It was a pretty okay Hack and Slash game, my reaction was (literally) : "Well that was 10 EUR ". It had several issues , but I told myself: Don't worry it's in Early Access, the full realease will be better. And I was right. Sadly only partially. Yes there were improvements like : new HUD, new stages, few new enemies and ...... thats all? . So we completed it again and it was a better experience for the second time and I loved the game. But because I wanted to stay relevant I gave myself some day to rethink my review, but I couldn't decide if I REALLY want to suggest it or not, so I asked my friend for his advice and he asked these questions:
-Did you enjoy the game?
Yes.
-How long did it take to finish the game?
2,5 hour approximetly.
-Would you pay around 20 euro for 2,5 hour game?
And then it hit me and shocked me. And he was right. This game cost around 20 eur for 2 hour gameplay. So I replied:
No
-Would you pay 10 Euro for 2,5 hour gameplay?
Depends on.
-Did you enjoy it that much to suggest it ?
Well I don't know, honestly.
So I started asking myself:
- Ok. lets approach it from a different way.
- How was the fighting?
Pretty good but If I have to be honestly I mostly smashed buttons and the fights were repetitive
- How was the story?
Meh.
-Grapichs?
It fits the series IMO.
-Music?
Great
- Did you enjoy the game?
Yes

And this was the paradoxon I was in. I liked it, but in all honest it was because: 1. played with friend 2. I was in love with the series.
And sadly the same quote appeared when I finished the full game:
"Well that was 10 EUR"

So lets put it simple then:

Pros:
- Great soundtrack
- The style of the game fits to the original series.
- Fast gameplay
- More players? More enemies and more difficult.
- Some funny quotes
- Characters

The Meh part:
- Story SPOILER ALERT!!!! The story was mediocre it was pretty basic and easy to follow which is always good, but WHO WOULD LET THE ENEMY GET TO YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND LET THEM STEAL IT?! SERIOUSLY IN WHICH UNIVERSE IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?! *susa* *susa* Literally the last 2 chapter was a joke in the sense of the story
- The fighting: As I said earlier its repetitive. Survive the waves of teh enemies kill the boss. Victory (hopefully) Pretty basic, pretty simple
- Literally I saw 3 different designs put together in this game. The hud looks good and clean and you can see the work on it, now that's what you can't tell about the skill tree and the menus. The menu looks clean and simple which is always good but it also looks like a word text file. The skill tree looks like it was pictures put together like a flash game. I don't say these are bad traits , but it's not the greatest either.
- The artworks. I agree with the others that said it was from devianart cause IT WAS. But not the better ones thats why its meh.
- Point system, It needs some tweaking thats all I say

And bubus in the game:
--- NO TUTORIAL. In a hack and slash game not knowing the combos and the buttons is just horrible.
- No button rewinding (well at least I haven't found one)
- Unbalance between characters. Blake is my favourite one in the series So because few of my friends thinks that liking Blake is a furry thing I'll do a favor for you guys (even though you are wrong) : F*CKING FURRIES (did I do it right?) yet I feel like she is the weakest one. Literally when my friend played with yang he killed everyone with one charged attack. An I was sitting there like : ..... e.e *okay* *This is fine* *I'm okay with the event that are unfolding currently* *That's okay**Things are gonna be okay* If you wouldn't guessed it yet yes I am Indeed a memer ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If I am wrong and I'm simply just bad please tell me and prove it so I can take this off atleast :/
- 2,5 hour gameplay.
- Repeptitive, You will keep doing the same thing over and over again.(with some speedbumps but still)
- NO TRADING CARDS. Seriously guys ....
-The ending explosion effects, guys you dun goofed there
-No cutscenes

BEGGINER'S GUIDE:
- LMB Quick attack, RMB Heavy attack (you can charge it), R (or E?! :S) Gun attack press 3 times and a special attack will occur, F: Counter/Headbutt, E(or R? :S) Team skill (=execute), Space: Jump , Shift: Combos (try to press it with an order of buttons and you'll do some combos, also jump+shift is a tp or further jump) Q: ultimate (don't be afraid to use it, you will recharge it fast enough)<- here is your tutorial
- KEEP SPAMMING AND SMASHING BUTTONS AND YOU WILL GIT GUD
- Don't put your expectations on a high level trust me

FOR THE DEVELOPERS IF THEY READ IT SOMEHOW!
What I missed / My suggestions:
-Tutorial (really need it for a game like this)
-Steam cards (let us show our fandom by letting us do a full steam profile around rwby)
-More characters (*duh*)
-Better storyline (I don't want to insult you but it looks like you rushed all of it)
(-Bugfixes but I know you are constanly working on it)
- More gameplay hours to put in
- Customization (since in the new season rwby will get a new look I found this fitting)
- More scenes
- Stop this repetitiveness Maybe at the the end when the team escapes with the ship, there should be a part with the ship to fight agiant the air defense of the island, but thats not part of the hack and slash style but I find it interesting

If you managed the read all of this well first of all thank you, it means a lot to me. I tried to be as honest as I could and putting my fandom away for the sake of everyone. If you have suggestions I always appreciate it in the comment. Seriously I wanted to listen to my hearth but my brain won this time. Too many negatives to positives. And mainly because the lack of gameplay. I am sorry agaion for the developers to put a negative review, but I promise if I think it worth to play it at full price i promis you I'll change my review ;)

T;l D;R:
A pretty okay hack and slash game with good soundtrack. I DEFIENETLY NOT SUGGEST IT TO BUY AT FULL PRICE. The game was rush realeased and it visible on the game aswell. I only suggest to you at a discount, because of the lack of gameplay. But remember 2 hours of gameplay. Question yourself: Does it worth this much?

Well I'll put my rapier away. Good hunting huntresses!

I swear to god, I don't usually write a review after 5 minutes of gameplay, I usually at least give it 2 hours, but the game makes me very very motion sick even tho I diasbled the visual effects. My head is still spinning after 10 minutes :S And I even played Velocibox and Superhexagon and I didn't feel sick at all. Looks good and clever game in it's simplicity and I can suggest it to everyone else who doesn't get motion sick, really a great game, but the fact that I can't play it makes me give a bad review. Sorry developer :/

(T;L&D;R at the end for those who don't have the time to read the full review)

Aaaaaaaaaah....

So the time has come when I finished a game and the very first time, I can't write a short review like: "Liked it very funy 8/10" or something.

This will be a long one so grab some popcorn and drinks and lets get started. If you want to see the short verison just scroll down a bit. Also some begginer's tip at the end ;)

I try to be as non-emotional as I can when I write these things (I'm a heartless person don't judge pls), but this game is different .... (in a good way)

Ok so the basic non emotional stuff:
(INCLUDE SOME TINY SPOILERS but REALLY tiny ones I swear :) )

Positives:

+ I especially liked the the storyline, even though some parts were expectable/predictable (or partly expectable) it didn't make me hate the story or be like: I knew that, so this, and this, and this will happen so why should I finish the game... I just watch the ending annnnd yes as expected.. There is no spoon (*bad jokes are bad*)
+ Fighting animations and system are both on point (obviously fanservice is there)
+ Loveable characters (except Galdo and Pipin.... I hate them so much), voice acting (yes the English one aswell) and great dialogs with some humor in it :D
+ Not too hard fighting to hate the game for being difficult, but enough hard to don't put it down for being too easy (boss fight are pretty balanced aswell)
+ Clever ideas in the game ( You will see I won't spoil it to you... :) )

Neutral:

~ Fanservice maybe ... (Actually I don't like fanservice but this my opinion, everyone have his/her own right to love or hate things so that's why I have put it here)
~ Similar fights, what I mean that there's not very much variety in the fights, but I still loved it so its kinda bad and good

Negatives:

- Soooooo much grinding

so

much

grinding

- You have to replay the game 2 more times if you want to see all the endings (Which I really don't bother I liked this game I'll give it another shot :) )
- Achievment Struggle (I will explain later)
- Lola's greedines, but also she is my spirit animal. I looooooooove money <3 (Which brings us back to the grinding problem)
- Jumping system (the feeling when you have to kill the same enemies 10x more, because you missed a jump and have to use more items therefor you have to spend more money what you should give to Lola to get more quests, and so on, and so on .....*unrepeatable*.... there are still parts where I couldn't get cause the jumping)

EDIT:

Yeah I said I tried to be as non-emotial as I could.... I failed as I see

Emotional part:

Ah where should I start..

At first I thought: "This will be a basic like RPG storyline nothing to be so amazed about" but luckily I was wrong and I can totally understand that ~92% positive rating. The charatcers were the basics: The funny one, The hero, The need to be saved one, etc.. but they something plus which I can't put in words. The story as I mentioned were great but I won't pin-point it out because that would be a spoiler and rule #1 no big spoilers in reviews ;) It stars as you would expect to start but It becomes better turst me. So just wait and see ;)

As I played this game I never felt like I should put this down. Something always moved me to go back and fight and play this game.There were some "WTF?! Are you serious?!" moments in both meanings and some "Oh ffs" in both meanings aswell :D . Maybe these were the ones that kept me moving, because maybe I couldn't belive they were seriously about that. But as I played more and more I eventually finished this game (for once atleast) and I feel sad.... There's no more... It's over... Althought the ending is great, It's still over. It was a great journey I want to relive it again like I played it for the first time.

You can ask my friends, 90% of it (who know me well) will say that I'm not that emotional type of guy who cry on every death or etc. I'm the exact opposite, you can almost say I'm dead inside emotionally, but this game made me "feel" on some points...( Not like crying or etc. , but you can figure out what I mean. )

I COULD write more stuff like this, but I WON'T it would take a novel and you are here a review. (And it would get akward... :D )

In short:
Great game, great story, great characters and DEFIENETLY worth the money (DLC not necessary to the game it just plus items and dungeon, but you won't get more in the story if you don't buy them) 9/10 because of the small bugs and problems, but one of the best games I played so far. Love it <3 CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW GAME COMING OUT

BEGINNER'S GUIDE:
1. When you get a character use your points for the LEARNING skill. Trust me I had to struggle without it AND it will help alot in the late game. No spoilers :)
2. Upgrade your teammates aswell in both skills and items (SPOILER Expect Lord Sherman, trust me... Ok No more spoilers
3. I suggest to you to focus on the main storyline, because you can acidentally trigger an alternative ending. (Like I did -.-+ )
You can find further help HERE , but it includes some spoilers (and also an achievement guide) , so finish the game first atleast once ;)
4. The cards: I like them but I don't suggest to go further then Level 2 in the badges, only IF you especially love one character. The Foil cards: yeahhh now thats a different story..... In overall they cost 12 or more dollars and the game cost app. the same. If you REALLY REALLY intend to get it or you just really liek that character I won't stop you but you won't get you mony back. Backgrounds: Simple clean, great. If you hit the jackpot you get a 3 dollar background which is the best in my opinion and also MONEYYYY $$$$$, Emote icons: Well you decide

Well that's it folks :) If you read it through I would appreciate a rating cause this is my very first long review :)

SPECIAL THANKS:
Zozo_500 for gifting me this great game as a christmas present :) You da best :)
