Played for a little bit, gonna be honest, gameplay is still super unrewarding. You literally NEED to grind all the reputation and just max out strength stat to even have a chance. And that is HUNDREDS of plays. The Grind itself ain't even that satisfying. (You still only last two-three days max with 15 strength. And stamina is just spent all the time!)
All the improvements are nice. But the core battle gameplay is still the worst aspect of the game. You might as well just allow stamina to restore after every attack. So light attacks would be for stamina restoring and heavy would actually cause it to drop.
I do not like losing so damn often. I don't want to go through a thousand gameplays just to be semi-good at survival. It's rage quit inducing.
Also, Achievements keep resetting all the time. Constantly
