[@abraxis59]

Great intro video - For those who are interested in ARPGs, there are a few more things you may want to know 1. Stash - there is nearly an infinite amount of stash space that is purchased through the in game standard currency and it is VERY customizable for great organization. You can even look at your stash tabs with main and sub tabs. It's remarkable and free. 2. Loot filter - this game has a loot filter that is both extremely powerful and VERY easy to use once you learn how. One of the best ways to learn the filter is to watch a short video on the topic and then import a filter to see how it was actually constructed so you can do your own or just use it as is. The system is AMAZING and useful right from the start of the game (and I NEVER use filters). 3. NO BUILD GUIDS NEEDED - the game is SUPER transparent about how things work. Each ability even has tags indicating what stats and item attributes will affect it. With passives being well segmented and each skill having its own passive tree, it may sound like a lot, but it is all so well compartmented that it is very manageable and the synergies are largely clear. Just like any ARPG, there will be sone builds that are not as transparent and the are many solid end game builds on line to choose from, but you don't have to use one to function. 4. Flexibility - This was touched on but I think it merits a bit more emphasis. It is VERY VERY easy to respec in this game. As mentioned, the ONLY thing you are stuck with is your mastery. It was mentioned that your skills have a floor so if you swap them you are not starting over from zero, but it should also be noted that, while your skill is under leveled, experience gains for that skill are dramatically increased. This makes it so you are back up to speed in no time. The only reason they have you leveling them at all is because they did not want people swapping skills in and out constantly to do certain content. 5. End game - Like it was mentioned, the theme of LE is the middle ground. D4 has a lack of end game content and PoE has very sophisticated and robust but complicated end game. LE is right in the middle. While end game features are more static than PoE, there are still several different end game loops and their "mapping system" is good for target farming, but much less flexible than PoE. Either way the end game is fleshed out remarkably well for a game just entering 1.0 6. Crafting - there is a second part to the crafting system that is worth noting. Everything that was mentioned was spot on. In the end game crafting is not only taking items and improving their stats. It is also a super item creation process. Later items in the game can be combined with one another so one item randomly takes some of the stats of a second item you choose to make a combined item that is more powerful than both separately. This is a really interesting and unique feature of crafting that I thought was worth a highlight. 7. To Trade or Not To Trade - there is a bit more to this that I thought you should know - one of the biggest challenges for game designers is to either engineer the drop rates in the game for a game with trade or a game with limited trade. LE brilliantly does both. If you choose the trade guild, over time you unlock the ability to trade items and the currency needed to both list and buy items. The other system though is more than just more loot. If you choose not to trade and go with the more drops rout, you also open up many attributes that go beyond more and better loot. You can even customize it so you can get specific types of extra loot. There is even an option for whole sets of items to drop instead of one piece of a set (although I am not sure if that one will stay). The point is, both sides of the system are very well thought out and will be tweaked over time as they see how they are working. You can also swap back and forth between these systems with some serious restrictions. Sorry for the long post, but these are all things that I was thinking could make a difference to your choice to play or not. I also think that it is worth noting that the game does have a cost and does have microtransactions, but the game is pretty cheep and the microtransactions are purely cosmetic. Oh and NO BATTLE PASS.

[@Lean_Dad]

No...one...cares. this will be your only comment.

[@varshard0]

High quality comment. no build guide needed and I'm sold

[@bobbenson6825]

Well said.

[@contris1]

and the biggest downside for me: 8. 5 active skills only.. Horrible for necromancer or beastmaster class.

[@abraxis59]

@@contris1 I understand where you are coming from, but it may not be as bad as it seems. I am playing a pure minion necro at the moment and I have the potential for 6 permanent minion types and 1 quick summon. The skeleton archers, warriors and rogues are all one skill that you can customize to give you more or less of each type through the skill's passive tree and you have a separate non-skill button to direct your minions to attack. So they are controllable to a decent extent without a skill slot to do so. At the moment, specifically I am running skeleton warriors and archers (with fire arrows), skeleton mages, a golem and wraiths with volatile zombies as a quick cast. I was annoyed at first because I had no direct damage so I couldn't break items but then I realized you can actually direct your minions to attack environmental items, so no direct damage is working out fine 😀

[@kn0bhe4d]

Speaking of user-friendliness, it also has an in-built loot filter that you can customise yourself.

Love this game, and much like the Grim Dawn coverage, I really appreciate it when a bigger channel like yours, whose content isn't centered around ARPG's, gives them some attention.

gamepad and offline were big for me. I’m also happy that they plan on (eventually) adding some more customization options for the classes visually.

Controller support was my one holdout that I needed to hear about before buying, and I got it. It's been... mostly great. So great that I've started logging in a text file all the ways that it isn't great. And in a few days, once I've built up around 500 words of bug reports, I'll post it in the feedback section of their forums.

i was on the last epoch steam page literally 10 seconds ago, wondering if i should give arpgs another try. so i opened a new yt tab to type in last epoch and see if mort already had something on it, just to then be greeted by this video which was uploaded 15 seconds ago. mort you are scary!

[@dumbgames4933]

Glad to see you covering it! Agreed about it hitting a good balance of approachability and depth, and I love that they actually provide enough info in-game that you don't need external resources. One other note for offline folks - you can still benefit from the non-trading Faction. Minor downside - your cosmetic MTX won't work offline - although that may be a *benefit* for some folks, hah

[@Arcling]

You mentioned "I'd be surprised if the devs weren't fans of Diablo 2", they are fans indeed! This project began on the initiative of fans of the genre, some of them weren't even devs before. It's interesting to see how much they managed to develop this project. I'm curious how this game will be supported now post launch, there is a lot of potential.

[@joshwent]

One of the coolest aspects of the gearing is late game you earn the opportunity to take a high level item, and slam it into a unique, giving the unique bonus stats. This allowing a whole new level of customization and potential build opportunities. Loving LE!

[@ThiagoJaqueta]

Got the game a few weeks ago, it's definitely up there with Grim Dawn alongside my favorite ARPGs, on being "not too simple and not too complex" is pretty on point, and is one of my favorite aspects of the game, there's a lot to play around with without being overwhelming. The devs also seem to have their priorities straight, so I'm excited to see what they're cooking for the next few seasons too, not to mention that they'll only monetize cosmetics, all content, campaign and gameplay will be available as free updates, on top of having an offline mode too.

[@thomasexoexelby500]

Everything said is spot on. Have played ~300 hours of this game since first alpha...the Devs have listened to community and made incredible improvements over the years. Now, with some money behind them I'm sure future development will be amazingly. Also 10/10 video! I really appreciate how calm, unbiased and concise the entire presentation is. Cheers !

[@emiliosanchez4610]

I got really into Grim Dawn but this looks really cool aswell! The animations are super slick!

[@nomercy8989]

Grim Dawn is great for theory crafting. I always find my self halfway through a character playthrough thinking what other character I want to try next.

[@painfullyaware5221]

I found that GD has more depth, better story, and smoother combat. But, I did put 500 hrs into this in EA, so i do think it's worth playing.

[@StavoR94]

As someone who played GD since beta, got 1.2k hours in it (and another like 200 in GDTools just trying to theorycraft new builds), I consider LE an astonishing experience. For me it's giving something that GD didn't do (for example I'm really into all holy stuff in games like combat priests and paladins), while not being a total substitute. For me playing GD and LE periodically will make the fullest of ARPG enjoyment possible. So I think that you definitely should try LE, and don't forget, GD after release had a whole 6 years of active development and patches, which is something that LE don't have yet. Even if you'll find LE incomplete, give it time, and I'm sure it will shine with new powers.

[@joshwent]

​@@StavoR94Seeing LEtools as basically a sister site of GDtools made me confident there's a wealth of theory crafting to be done here. 😅

[@omegadroidzero]

I have played a lot of both and GD is much better.

[@chocopuddingcup83]

I've said it multiple times, already, but: if you love lightning, you'll love Last Epoch's primalist shaman class. Between Diablo 4's storm druid and the primalist shaman, it REALLY scratches that itch for making a weather-based spellcaster that has lightning bolts raining down everywhere. It's ridiculously fun.

[@ScienceDeclassified]

Also mage sorc - the lightning bolt is just as fun, only horizontal instead of vertical 😁

[@moltenbullet]

Woohoo! 🙌🏻 Thanks for covering this!

[@chriseggroll]

[@Aikuchi]

I have alt-itis. I have sunk in 150 hours and only have 2 of the subclasses at max cap. Now i have more to try, YAY falconer and warlock!

[@Hrafnskald]

Great breakdown. One side element: the makers are hardcore fans of the 1990s game Chronotrigger, so if you played that a lot, much of the time travel and overall plotline are filled with shoutouts and nods. I enjoy the gameplay a lot, though I wish the story was a bit deeper. I tried the game at the 1.0 rollout, which was rocky then, but now it plays great.

[@Ming_______]

End game needs a lot of love (highest priority for future content releases last I heard). But, the systems and mechanics? REALLY great. There's a lot of promise, if the devs stick with it. It's highly unfortunate about the current server situation. But supporting (full) offline, is a true rarity for ARPGs these days. So major kudos to the devs for this. My only real complaints, are 1) that combat feels a bit janky at times (targetting issues). And 2) I personally just don't like the campaign, and you can't skip it. (Exception: I really liked what is currently the last act, it's a big jump in quality compared to what came before, so any future acts are probably gonna be really good too)

My only issue is offline cannot use our paid cosmetics(kickstarter backer) really sucks it pushes us online. That said still the best game imo.

[@mothermeeting]

guess thats the only way to handle paid cosmetics - cause if you are only offline, you could easily dupe those with some exploit, cheat engine, mod etc., without any way for the devs to detect that. Sucks, but i get it...

I'm a big fan of D2, and even moreso D3 because I'm more of a casual player who isn't very skilled at mechanics, and I have to say I'm greatly enjoying playing Last Epoch. It's somehow more intuitive than any other ARPG I've played, and I could easily get through the campaign with my own build. Going to try out the endgame using some online advice, but so far everything I've experienced is really fun!

[@usedfuzzbox]

With the boss battles like Harospex Orian, after you've killed him and looted, just portal back, sell and return and you can fight him again. I did this 5 times and got a unique, Hammer of Lorent to drop.....

The bugs and general server issues have been pretty disappointing, but I think the actual game has a lot going for it, and while I am a PoE fanatic I can definitely see myself playing it more in the future, the bugs are just a pity at the moment.

[@johnhobbes2268]

I really like the game. I have so many overpowered builds and I find many new ones whenever I play a few hours. Something that I currently don't like is their unique drop rate system. Maybe I'm just unlucky but I think they have a clock running in the background which gives you unique items depending on your playtime. I was once afk for 4 hours and the next common I defeated instantly dropped a unique. While I didn't see a single random unique until I was around 4 hours in the game (directly before visiting the end of time) And I always get the same set items in the beginning. (I have the same belt 8 times now) to be fair, this was two weeks ago, so still the early access version.

[@bAtACt1X]

the cool thing about the game: The variety one class hass to offer. Everything you told about primalist playstile has nothing to do with my primalist. I shock bleed everything from safe distance multiple times a second relying on totems and crows. Even if we both played shaman, we can have completely different builds and play-stiles. Great!

[@linkblade91]

I'm very appreciative of all the quality-of-life stuff - thank you Offline mode! - but there's a couple small things that I feel could be polished in that department. For example, while having a side-stash for your crafting materials from the outset is very nice, why do I need to press a separate button in the inventory to put them there? That seems like a weird extra step that didn't need to exist. I also don't like that the map resets when I portal to town. I'm just selling my vendor-trash; why did the enemies all respawn? Why is the fog of war covered again? Stuff like that. That said I am enjoying the gameplay of Last Epoch a lot. I too went Primalist, but I shifted directions: I was gonna go for a Druid, with a thunder-bear spec and/or the Scyther form, but changed my plan and picked Shaman. At the moment I'm jumping into the fray with an electrically-charged Fury Leap, spamming Storm Bolts with Gathering Storm, while nuking enemies with the Storm Crows' Crowstorm ability. Pretty happy with it...but my character's name no longer matches lol ("Bearon Thunderclaw").

[@MaxAngor]

I wish the new font was easier to read but I've spoken with a CM and a dev and they're both aware accessibility needs to come up... but they obviously have a lot more important things at the moment (and I told them I was aware of that and wasn't expecting anything right this minute.) I've done what I can, fellow disabled.

You should review more games like this. 🙂👍🏼

[@CrazyxEnigma]

This game scratches the itch just right for me. Its more on the complex side without dipping into PoE territory which I don't have the time or care to figure out. Don't need to follow a build guide either for a first run either which is a big plus for me. Also still only $35 too which is a very good value pickup.

[@deputyswine]

Please review grim dawn mortim!! I would love to hear your take on it! I particularly like the atmosphere/setting, it has the dark feel. There arent any bright moments lol

[@KellendirsCorner]

I love playing a wizard in any and every game that i find. As such, Diablo-esq games are often very hit or miss for me as i want to hurl whole grimoires of spells, not be restricted to a mere half dozen. The Rune Mage mastery in last epoch lets you build combo's of elemental charges to cast larger "meta-spells" with a glorious variety of effects and really makes you feel like you are casting the magic, not just pushing a button. 10/10 would gandalf through time again.

I was a bit afraid of not liking it comparing to how polished some aspects of Diablo 4 are, that is to say animations, cutscenes and all that shallow stuff, which turns out is VERY much just that, shallow stuff.

I probably wont make a review for 1, but I will cover 2 yeah

[@junk3996]

this is a great game and i'll probably start playing again to experience some new characters and classes, but the grind is real. definitely sticking with offline legacy (standard league) #1 because this 1.0 release "cycle" doesn't have any new mechanics, and they say it'll last 3-4 months. given this games grind and such, i don't have enough time to redo it all every 3-4 months.

The game is everything that D3 and D4 should have been. It's really a good game. It has more Diablo essence than the current Diablo franchise itself.

Damn, this came out of nowhere...curious what you have to say.

[@mikeg5039]

[@ctaylor8003]

[@Dezzyyx]

​@@fast1nakusthat's probably not as casual friendly though

Gotta admire LE devs commitment to recreating the D3 launch experience as they burned their own servers to ground during launch day.
