Keep in mind the game is in early access.

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a game, and that includes Dark Souls 2.

I started as a Sorcerer, and it turned out to be the worst decision I could have made.

Unless you get extremely lucky with gear drops, your experience will likely be as frustrating as mine was. Sorcerers lack access to defensive layers early on, and the energy shield feels practically useless. You don't have enough damage output, and even when you do, you're still underperforming compared to other classes.

I understand that Sorcerers become strong in the endgame, but that doesn’t matter if you never reach it. The leveling experience in the first four acts is so bad that it makes you want to quit the game entirely.

If you're planning to play this game, I strongly recommend checking a guide for the best starter builds. Avoid playing as a Sorcerer unless you’re incredibly lucky with drops and gear.

The game is far too punishing in the early acts without good reason, making the experience unnecessarily miserable. This is a shame because the game has a lot of potential and some genuinely great features.

I hope future updates address these issues and improve the progression system. It has the makings of a great game, but it needs a lot of work.
