As someone who has suffered through voxlblade progression, I feel like the main appeal of the game is more so getting an interesting idea for a build and just seeing how it works out (or just copying a video but that’s lame).

Eclipse you dont understand, Voxlblade is to Roblox games what a well-curated set of bowls is to a kitchen. Just as bowls come in various shapes and sizes to serve different culinary purposes, Voxlblade offers a diverse range of features that cater to various player preferences. The game's quests and missions are like the deep, sturdy bowls used for hearty soups or stews, providing substantial content that players can delve into for hours. The character customization options are akin to elegant, decorative bowls that add a personal touch to any table setting, allowing players to express their unique styles. The combat system, dynamic and exhilarating, resembles the versatile mixing bowls essential for creating a perfect blend of ingredients, enabling players to mix and match weapons and abilities for optimal strategies. Exploring Voxlblade’s vast and varied environments is like having an array of bowls, each one revealing a new culinary experience, with each region in the game offering distinct landscapes and secrets. Finally, the social aspect of joining guilds and alliances mirrors the communal aspect of sharing a meal, where the right set of bowls facilitates a shared, enjoyable experience. Voxlblade, like a comprehensive set of bowls, provides a versatile and enriching experience, ensuring that every player finds their perfect fit.

My main issue with this video is that you aren't making it as clear that this is a first impressions video and not an actual review because like you've said you haven't played nearly enough of the game to highlight most of the issues and didn't comment on some of the upsides of the game. The game has a way to tell you where the quests are with the seek cantrip which is something you often complain about in other reviews. The level lock and most of the delivery quests are supposed to encourage you to explore the game, like the quest to deliver letters will encourage you to explore different areas like the desert or floral fields or the swamp so you get to see more of the game. The buni ring quest was a bad example that quest definitely sucked, but you don't have to complete every quest to get to the actual meat and potatoes of the game by unlocking dungeons, get carried and power level that way. So you unlock unique weapon parts that have unique effects like cause explosions on hit, hitting enemies with debuffs heals you, using a skill applies a mark that lets you hit enemies twice etc. (this is what i meant by meat and potatoes) The best part of this game is by far the build varieties and the synergies between armors and their unique passive and the unique passives of weapons. And the game is pretty f2p friendly which is nice. As for the issues, mid and late game is repetitive dungeon completions, and if you want to get carried its not easy to find people to run dungeons with without the help of the discord. Certain weapons and armor and a big part of making builds are locked behind events that happen every 2 hours with a random chance to roll 1 of 4 events which also sucks. Alot of the armors and even the infusion mechanics are quite hidden away enough to struggle finding them without hours of aimlessly wandering around or outside help. PvP would be horrible in this game due to how broken some builds are. Also comparing it to blox fruit is a low blow, i mean Voxlblade is pretty mid but not blox fruit level of bad and greedy. P.S. if i show up on DDOS, give a shoutout to my cat Tofu Edit: was half asleep at 1 am forgot to clarify what ive said or mention important things which explains the first two comments

[@pantommy]

Seek is a cheap cop-out but I guess it works, God I love walking towards yellow dots to get menial tasks to complete. Also "the actual meat and potatoes of the game where you unlock dungeons, get carried and power level that way", you might've not realized it when you wrote this, but this sounds horrible to anyone who doesn't know about the game. The core gameplay loop is get bored until lvl 30 and then get on private servers and afk for 10 minutes while someone else does the work for you, after which you get a huge level boost. Rinse and repeat until you unlock all dungeons, get enough SP to finalize your sword, enough $V for your armors and enchants and brilliants for special armors and ascendeds and maybe trade or randomly get 3 bindeds for infusions (all the while gawking at the trello because the game tells you jackshit). The "bulk" of this game is afking. Frankly, his first impression is like ~50% of the game's unique content, without including the repetitive grind. And yeah, the silver lining is the build variety. Too bad it's held back by the asinine early game and repetitive dungeons. The gameplay is not conducive of repeat playthroughs whatsoever. If you make one build, you've already seen the bulk of the gameplay at hand. The rest is trello diving and theorycrafting (and getting your shit nerfed).

I think ur wrong dude. The game’s about build varieties. The quests are mostly just decoration at this point, but the almost endless sea of combinations for armors/rings/runes and blades is awesome. not to mention Single enchants, Double enchants, and triple enchants that add another level of complexity to creating the ideal, highest dps build. I think the game caters to a specific audience and it’s not bad. At least I don’t think there’s any other game on Roblox besides decaying winter that’s captivated me so much in high school. You’re right that there could be more substance. I found that a lot of the reason I continued playing early game was because the community was so directing, and maybe voxlblade could seem more appealing, but voxlblade is definitely not MID.

if i'm being honest all of your points are pretty fair and accurate in regards to voxlblade in general. as far as starting out, i had a pretty mediocre early game experience without the trello or just asking for help, and even WITH asking their discord questions i'd just get insulted for not knowing something that's "obvious" or "easy to understand". i'll give props to the fan-made trello considering the fact that it's at least surprisingly in depth (especially considering how empty and bland the game is at times), but then again you shouldn't need to rely on a trello or even on help from other people anyway just to understand things throughout a game. the gameplay itself is redundant and at times is just a running simulator (hell, the entirety of the tundra area which has quests that are crucial to leveling your slots is almost entirely just snow and mountains with few npcs/enemies) + even the lategame consists of just doing dungeons over and over. the build variety in the game, while pretty diverse, doesn't actually have too many viable blade/handle options especially considering the fact that some are just outright worse than others or way harder to build upon (just to get mediocre results, too.)

[@mano__diep1318]

imo the biggest issue is the grind, this was also an issue in the original (to get your final sword you needed level 50, and it was straight up impossible to hit level 50 just doing the normal quests, you had to farm a repeatable quest for it) also the most fun ive had in the game was using katana fighting bosses (katana lets you parry attacks) on an ok build (so i couldnt one shot the boss but it didnt take for ever either) also the blox fruit comparison is crazy at least the bosses are fun in this game pve in blox fruits is always boring

Okay, so let me just begin with the fact that I agree with you on most of your points. The level lock is ass, the game is repetitive until you get to a high level, and the quests being hidden in stupid places is annoying when you don't know where to look. However, I feel some of your arguments were slightly unfair, so here's my thoughts. The map *is* pretty big, but it's also full of secrets if you look for them. From armor to demons in walls, Voxl blade has a lot of secrets that I believe justify its size. If it were smaller, finding these secrets would be trivial to find and well, not very fun or rewarding. The story is level locked, but none of the areas are. You can go to any area you want to if you want to progress faster. Just go into the desert area or swamp area if you want some enemy variety, you don't *have* to stay in the starter areas if you feel the game is boring and easy. And this last point may just be personal opinion, but I think the game has a ton of charm to it. Even if it is "basic" in a lot of ways, its clear the devs do *care* about their players. its a breath of fresh air to not have micro transactions shoved down my throat every two seconds while I play the game, you know? Of course im not saying its perfect, it definitely needs work. But I'd say its definitely a pretty decent game. Great vid! (Please don't put my in the DDOS 🙏)

If the areas in the game aren't level locked, than the dilemma of the level locks on the storyline would be easily fixed if the quest givers of the storyline told you where you can find the enemies that will get you to a higher level faster, maybe even tell you the location of some quest givers to not only get exp, but also some money and items (and please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, give us a waypoint bc figuring out where something is in a map this big is miserable). That way, if for some reason you want to keep the level locks on your game, they actually do something for the game.

[@OfficialEdwardNewgate]

Honestly I still think the map is too big, I don't think it needs to be like a massive decrease in size since it would ruin finding the many secrets hidden around, but it definitely needs to a little smaller still. If they can't decrease the size of the map, just add a way to run faster. And I mean faster than the rabbit armor you get at the starter village.

As an experienced player, you can play the same 3 dungeons over and over and sometimes kill 2 overworld bosses (which have terrible movesets, full of spam and stun, literally have to keep dying and coming back to hopefully get credit or use a braindead metaslave build). The build diversity is the best thing about this game. Otherwise, it's barely a game after the first time you play it, more like a dick measuring contest for who can get the most DPS.

I wonder what eclipse would think of pilgrammed, me and my friends were trying to decide if we should play Pilgrammed, Voxl, or Vesteria, we ended up on pilgrammed and it was honestly some of the most fun i've had in a while in roblox. The core concept is very simple, spawn in and progress your armour/weapons by killing mobs/bosses, and even though it is very basic, the fact that killing the mobs/bosses was actually FUN (which is rare in games like this) probably is what set it appart from other games, alongside with the ambience, music, and freedom to explore/do whatever. Another thing that was refreshing was being able to progress and basically complete the game without having to look anything up, whilist it still being a challenge. (took us like 40+ hours of total gameplay?) The game also doesn't take it self super seriously which can lead to some funny momments.

[@Quartzdragonn]

same, honestly pilgrammed is just a more skilled and interactive voxlblade

[@joninehundredten3959]

Pilgrammed has many feats, and yet I see little flaws. You can take on almost any boss at lvl 1, the bosses require some skill, and Kai Guy literally forces you to parry. Indeed this comment is true, mobs/bosses are fun, the only reason to search up something is if you want better equipment or fashione, or you know, explore. Though I do have a complaint, the hardcore mode is at the bottom left corner of the slots screen, almost no one would know about that without friends. But the map is great, it's just the ocean that is hard(for me). If you're going to beat bosses like Kai Guy or Shock Marauder you definitely need to learn how to parry. Overall Pilgrammed is one of my favorite roblox games, it has good combat, there's no reason to grind but chicken (except some cases ofc), the soundtrack is just crisp at a 5-star restaurant and yet it's free; it only has some flaws, 8-9/10 would be a fair scale. The only problems you will encounter are in mid-late game so yes, if you haven't played it yet, try it out.

Having played a bunch of Voxlblade, i can definitely agree with a couple of the points made; The map is too big, the level lock basically requires you to go do every single possible sidequest, mindnumbing combat... hell, i'll even add 2 problems of my own: Some sidequests require a dumb check to finish them such as requiring a "hard hat" to destroy a rock that unlocks you the earth element weapon parts,on top of that you kinda require third party info to know how to unlock said weapon parts but also to know where to obtain a bunch of hidden armor sets that are scattered around the wayy to oversized map. Although, in my opinion the game shines in it's capabilities for insane build variety. You can go from a chainsaw bleed build all the way to perpetual healing with healing crystal summoning hex tentacles, hell you can even make nuke builds with dynamite sticks and super high crit rate + attack speed fist fighting style builds. That's the main reason why i have a lot of hours put into the game, it's really fun thinking about how X armor piece can interract with X other armor piece, and how the bonus effects you are given can also impact your weapon, that's the whole point of the game. And i know that saying the Voxlblade active playerbase is basically just as stupid as the Bloxfruits one and saying that Bloxfruits at least has "interesting stuff to do when you actually get further along" is meant to be a joke but it's complete crap, Bloxfruits is just building up to be a brainless no endgoal PvP game, whereas Volxblade allows more experienced players to work with the armor sets and weapons available to make interesting builds. Exploring the map can also reveal a bunch of easter eggs which is always a bonus too. Comparing fruit game to Voxlblade is genuine slander. With that said, yeah, voxlblade is mid lol

[@juicethememe5077]

Hello, I wanted to voice my opinions on this topic because I found Voxlblade just last week and have been enjoying it very much. The first thing I want to say is that I completely understand where your frustration comes from, watching the video and observing the clips, it is clear that for most of your playtime, you were playing solo, and from that perspective I can 100% agree that travel is slow and eats a lot of time. From personal experience, I can say that the game is best enjoyed with friends, it allows you to fill that empty space with fun banter and makes up for the repetition of combat by working together as a team with strategies. Next, I'll cover the points you brought up in order that they are mentioned. 1. I feel that your criticism of the "hook" is a bit subjective, as I was drawn in right away, I see a lot of awful, asset flip garbage on roblox, so to just see the effort and unique Idea was such a huge breath of fresh air for me. 2. The map is big because it's open world, there are tons of small secrets strewn about the place, secrets that wouldn't feel earned if there was a secret every five feet, the map is decently sized and if it was any smaller, it would only take a brisk walk to see nearly everything, for players the absolutely cannot stand that walking distance though, there are several ingame buffs to your speed that make travel a lot faster, and one of the most potent sources of raw speed boost is the plain old Buni gear set, obtained as early in the game as possible really. 3. The sidequest you brought up as an example is definitely one of the more tedious ones, I'll admit that, but at the exact point where you say that the mages don't spawn anywhere near the quest giver, you are facing a short cave that leads to an area that spawns those mages, it's maybe a 20 Second walk there if you aren't sprinting. 4. You have me beat on the level lock, I'm not a mindless defender of every aspect of a thing I enjoy, level locks suck. 5. I can't help but feel you're exaggerating when you say that the 50 previously killed wolves were "worthless", you still earn xp and money for each one you kill, as well as item drops which can be essential to your build, used to craft items that will be essential for you build, or pawned off for extra cash. For my final statement on the subject, Voxlblade isn't a "Masterpiece" by any means, in fact the game isn't finished, the main quest is surprisingly short in terms of how much there is to do. The point is that the game shows promise, it has interesting mechanics, assets that while they aren't stunning in their appearance, are at least custom made, the custom music is great too and I enjoy it a lot, and a lot of the fun to be had is in forming your character's build, filling that inbetween space with your own efforts to custom tailor your character to your preferences is a lot of what makes this game have the potential it does. TL;DR. The problem is that you booted up the game ready to do a critical review, to speed through to see what the game had to offer and what the game lacks, and that made your experience miserable, focusing on objectives and detail orientation understandably sucked, but when I start up the game with a few friends on call, we have an absolute blast, marveling over our own unique builds as they develop through the game's run time, and filling that empty space with each other's company. Voxlblade is for slow enjoyment with friends, not for a quick and easy solo runthrough.

[@yuyoshida7359]

Already expected Eclipse to not enjoy Voxlblade, from the second I saw the first level lock💀 In real honesty tho, designing a combat system that’s both “engaging” but also simple enough at the start of the game, so that newer players can easily get used to it is an extremely difficult, precise task. It’s asking a decent amount from the devs to spend so much of their time, planning out such a combat system (that also doesn’t have a sharp skill gap). So naturally it’s asking a lot to expect that from any game. That is probably good criticism, in the sense that the devs should work towards making a good system of overall progression at all times. But it’s most definitely being picky and arrogant to expect that level of game design - from an indie dev - as a standard of any game. I’m sure that’s not what you mean in your reviews, but I just wanted to point that out to anyone reading this that could harbour similar ideas. Anyways that’s my rant done. I liked your review as always, and I hope you could review a game from a different genre, to see how that’ll go😂

[@sagehanson190]

I feel like the point here is that since the rest of the game is so bland, the combat should at least be good starting off, as otherwise there's no real hook. I love Voxlblade and I've probably put over 100 hours into it progressing different builds, but it is a deeply flawed game and the combat could seriously use some improvements, even in the lategame.

[@eldenenjoyer724]

1 of the best thing this game have is the unique and complex system of making unique build using blade+handle combination/armor/guild/race/infusion/shrine. it really so unique and fun with no other game coming close to it. Sadly the progression/gameplay/update schedule of the game is the biggest flaw that make people not even able to see how special the system is because you can only really see it at the endgame. (for exemple you could make a lich summoning a group of undead or tweak it to revive only 1 strong npc as a minion, or created a shield who summon a protective bubble that reduce massively damage to everyone near you when you block) the build creativity is nearly endless

for the map, there are tons of waypoints, and also, i think that the only place where it's inescusable is the snow area, i think the reason the map is so big is because if it was too small and practical, the ennemies would notice you very easily and getting stunlocked to death in this game is very easy, even by just two ennemies.

As a Voxlblade player since its initial release, i wholeheartedly agree with the points eclipse makes, early game for voxl has always been miserable for anyone new or old, its almost simulator like with how the only unique parts of the game are hardlocked behind needing to be MINIMUM lvl 20, only recently was the seek cantrip added so early game prog isnt a nightmare of “oh where the hell are the quests”. As for the combat, yeah i agree, theres not much variety outside of what was listed most of the time, the fact the game doesnt actively push you to explore one of the core parts of the game (weapon making) is very weird, the weapons and builds are the parts that keeps the game running, gives people creative freedom but god does the game just not guide people towards that, the only hint of it is “haha hey go to that shrine”. Only later on once you’ve put up with the terrible prog and combat of basic blade or maybe some slightly upgraded ver of it do you get to somewhat explore “unique” combat, and by unique i quite literally mean some weapon fast some weapon slow, some weapon ranged some weapon not, some stun some dont. Case and point, its bland as hell. As for getting around the map, man you hit it spot on, everyone and i mean EVERYONE hates getting around voxlblade, the idiotic thing is bawxol (owner) locks the fast travel method behind one of the mainline quests AFTER the 2 level locks, and even then you are forced to seek out the shrines because they are the waypoints, goodluck finding them unless you just randomly stumble upon them and activate them. All and all the game holds god knows how many flaws, knowing you only got to the 2nd level lock and giving up, i’d say that was a good call on your part, i don’t wish having to put up with mid-late game voxlblade upon anyone, once you get pass all the quests, the game becomes an actual simulator with “hurr durr me do this dungeon then go to other dungeon then to next dungeon”, its a chore. A funny thing, i said build making was the “fun” part but in reality it could and is one of the least fun part unless you’ve already spent minimum 48+ hours on the game, cause without memorizing the entire trello and the hundreds of stats armors and weapons give on there, making builds in the game would just be a hellscape of trial and error, and yes the game is THAT type of game, unless you wish to spend god knows how many hours exploring the huge map to find the armor sets, craft the armor sets or unbox them with the great sprinkle of rng, you will need the trello. Overall Eclipse makes great points to why voxlblade just sucks ass early on, and i dont wish for him to suffer further mid-late game unless he feels he wants to ever, the game really needs a voice big enough to push it in the right direction, anyways keep up the good work eclipse if you’re readin this, been around since the first every YBA critique video way back and have enjoyed your content for a long time.

[@vicentescangarelli2361]

Honestly, all of your arguments are valid and i agree or partially agree with all of them, the thing is that the roblox RPG (and MMO RPG) scenario is so damn dry and boring, that there arent many options, and mid is better then being complete garbage like most roblox rpg games I have one complain tho, good god, saying that its close to *blox fruits* is a crime, its an insult of the highest order

[@Firemonster-gi3cb]

Eclipse, I see where you are coming from and I usually agree with your points, but voxlblade is very near to my heart and I feel I need to defend it. Voxlblade isn’t one of those games where you are just trying to be the strongest, although getting stronger is a big part of it, it’s about exploration. Not only do you have to explore the large map to find something cool or rare or powerful for your build but exploring the sword tree and of course all of the game that you didn’t get to. From what you have shown, you have only done the first rift which is literally less than a third of the story. As for the travel, as you progress through the story you unlock a special form of fast travel that requires you to explore the map and find the way points which are super useful. I think you don’t like this game because you are trying to rush through it and get a video out as fast as possible, but if you took the time to actually play the game you would start to see where it shines. Also, how can you give an honest review of the game without playing the whole game? Not a single time when you dissed on YBA did you add on to the fact that the game doesn’t get good until you have completed the story multiple times or gotten to a certain level, which you have mentioned in all off these recent games quite a lot. It seems like you aren’t willing to put in the time for an honest review of a game anymore and it’s kinda sad. Anyways, love the content and love how the channel has grown keep it up.

[@RainerOOF]

The progression overall is so tedious. After you hit level 30 when you have already done all the side quest, you have to grind 30k money to max your armour which takes like 10 dungeon runs, usually one in the highest difficulty (otherwise you'll only get about 500 per run). The enemies and bosses are so tanky and deal a lot damage that everyone resorts to getting carried.. So in a nutshell, once you reach level 30 you'll just have to get carried by the most meta players over and over again until you become as strong as them I have maxed about 4 slots

[@Poopman26]

The game really needs to bring pvp

[@Adam-np9xj]

I've been playing VoxlBlade for around.. 4 - 5 years, I can't really remember. But yes. I completely agree with you. The only reason why I was so into VoxlBlade was because my friend liked grindy games. We were incredibly hyped when the new one released (the one you played) and we grinded the shit out of it. But, we were wearing rose tinted glasses but even those couldn't hide the fact that it's just the same game but with less repetitive quests and a much much larger map. The grinding was slow and discouraged us from making multiple slots. Once we finished the rather lack luster main quest, we exploited the marketplace. We waited 2 years for 3 weeks of playing. All of our builds got nerfed. The grind is miserable. Haven't touched the game since Easter.

[@Ninjaisaac34]

My opinions on the video here: 1. I disagree on the map being “too big” the map has many secrets, pretty much being a new armour piece around every corner 2.i agree; level locks are stupid but the first one isn’t that bad in my opinion 3. The quests are just fine, most being just to get to a higher level but I didn’t find any of them tedious 4.another point about the map, I do not think that his anger about the arrangement of the map is valuable as I find that killing enemies before I find the quest for it common in any game. Plus, I encountered the floral field town quickly unlike him. 5. You do eventually have to dodge and block but this is irrelevant since endgame bosses will still deal half your hp, even if you block 6. I like this game so take this with a grain of salt 7. The best thing in bowls is pasta with bolognaise sauce. Edit: this man has said this game is worse than block fruit so I will now take him down to the grave with me

[@probablynotleo4340]

I think the main part of pain is just how unrelenting Voxlblade is to new players, since most raids afterwards you can’t fathom to progress if you don’t have a decent build. And the price to remake a build is massive. And even if you did make a build there is no guarantee that the devs won’t nerf it to the ground in the next patch.

[@andrefelipe4416]

i couldnt disagree more with eclipse on this one. edit: one sign that he was not even interested in the game is that he said "when i reached the third or the fourth level lock". There are only 2 level locks in the game for the main quests (that is what he was going for in his gameplay), all of the other quests or map regions are NOT level locked, they are there for you to explore, wich is one of the main aspects of the game, and if you dont want to go exploring, that is on you. Also no need to call us, Voxlblade enjoyers, Bloxfruit players, that is disgusting at least. 9:44 btw

[@Loggs93]

Hi eclipse I love your videos, never expected you to review voxlblade but as someone who plays it an unholy amount, I would like to give you some of my perspective on the issues you just discussed. Big ahh map, Yes the map is so huge is so annoying and the best way to travel is something locked behind a level 20 quest. If you don't have friends or have a cooked build you just wont get it. I have a full set of Mythical dune fang, one the fastest armors, and I still can't go from starter to frog dungeon quickely Boring quests, yeah they're boring, progression isn't fun. Level Lock, I hate it remove it. The ring quest that you were talking about is the ONLY quest bridge from level 9 to 10. You NEED to just kill random things just to get to level 10 Combat, valid, early game is just doing the same thing over and over again. This only changes until you get to level 20 and fight in the frog dungeon with multiple enemy types fighting at once. For the people who say level eclipse didn't play long enough, I often find myself quiting after getting to level 9 on a new save. The game has a ton of issues which only get band-aid fixes like the seek cantrip. Not to mention how quickly you can mess up your build as a new player. The only time the game got truly fun for me is when I had 2 maxxed out saves with meta builds. Right now the only thing good about the game is build making.

[@xunnex.]

it does hurt to see the faults of what was effectively my mid-teens game (referencing the previous voxlblade game) get it's faults laid bare but yeah you are right in everything you said in the video the grind is a pain, especially when you run out of quests and have to either move to a different area or keep grinding the same enemies the rare enemy quests are a pain because you need to get them to spawn first and they are RARE so they rarely spawn the map is huge with the things to find being few and far between it is a game with a lot of effort and love put into it and I love it's style and I will still suffer the grind because of it but I do wish that the game got good quicker

[@ska33i33]

as an og Voxlblade player, I found the fun in this game by thinking about cool build ideas and wanting that for myself. (completely understand your point about early game being an ass) but using a guide/knowing what to do speeds up progression to like 15-30 mins to already get to customization. Also the developers are working hard to solve the gap between freshies and endgame players, Bawxol really hates the mistakes he has made on voxlblade. (DEs and TEs for example)

[@UnfocusedRat]

this is a great review and i totaly get the point, the thing i think makes voxlblade so fun and interesting is the research, personaly i enjoy the nerdy reading of the whole wiki and just learning what weapons and armors there are more than i enjoy the core gameplay itself, i agree the start is not good, but what makes it good is if you just open the right research tools and find what you are going to be so there is something to be excited for. Also not only do the enemies get significantly harder as you progress, you also meet bosses which are way more fun than regular mobs. And on top of that the combat gets much more complicated and via perks you gain all these cool abilities and im not even mentioning spirits from the monk guild cuz thats something you need to do a bit of off game research for

[@Tororobas]

what i agree with: level locks suck, the early combat is a zzzfest, some quests are boring. what i dont agree with: the map is not empty, theres enemies everywhere, theres about 56 quest npcs and even more non-quest/lore npcs, there is about 131 armors in the game and most of them are found ON THE MAP, theres shrines you can find and so SO much more.... the map is legit filled with content and its not even a situation of "go to this specific place that can barely be accessed", almost everything is available for any player at any time by just exploring the map. The late-game combat and even mid-game combat is pretty good, you have access to very differing playstyles and classes that completely change your gameplay (ex: summoner) to where it isnt just m1 combo then back away and repeat. The game doesnt "waste your time" by you not doing the quests before killing a bunch of npcs, enemies even without a quest give materials and armours that you can use to become better at the game. i love voxlblade, ive played it since the very first day and i also played the old version, the early game for me was carried by the fact that i wasnt trying to level up, i was traversing the map looking at the buildings, talking to the npcs and gathering quests, based on that fact i can understand that someone who joins now will be mad due to the stuff you mentioned. As a fan i respect your opinion and i ofc agree in some things but i will still love voxlblade and play it until the owner stops working on it.

I agree with you eclipse, because this game is a slog early on, with no hook or anything, the content is bland and generic. Anyways, my true purpose for this comment is to say that, after the main quest, where it would say wip. The game would be another TRELLO exclusive content, with the many features around the map that is locked behind external use of the trello. For example, one of the major features of the game is the event system, in which one of the events is the summoning of a whale that is found on the sky islands, but without use of the trello, you would be stuck trying to find the location on the whale, and I have to rely on other people's knowledge to get there, and even then, the whale has a timer to depart, and it ended with the whale departing even before I found it, at the end of the day, I gave up and used the trello, after a while, I found out that infusions exists without me noticing because it is not implied in game. Now, me being end game, I say, may these features be soon hinted for this game is not yet fully out, in summary the main issue here is the information that would be locked for you if you don't use outside sources.

[@ziloleepic3390]

imagine exploring a room, and instead of having tables and chairs spread throughout it,thinngs inside of the room. its all STUFFED inside of the LITTLEST corner of said room, all crammed into that singular corner so tightly youd wonder how you would even get in there. Voxlblade map does not have anything in the main portion of the map, most of its little secrets youd find in a little corner (literally), most important things are found in little rooms or secrets hidden away. But thats one of my lesser problem with the game, my BIGGEST problem is how many things they give you to make a build with, and then how hard and punishing and unnecessarily difficult it is to make an entire build around these "neat things". I feel i would enjoy the game much better if it was more free flowing, too much in the game is centered around "this is PERMANANT... and CANNOT be UNDONE..." which seems to artificially increase difficulty, this increase in difficulty can easily lead to someone *without a wiki or trello* making EXTREME mistakes, and having their first slot be a travesty. simply because they wanted to explore and find out more about the game, instead of laser focusing in on ONE BUILD from the absolute start. I think Voxlblade would benefit greatly for more room for expirimentation, instead of having to spend hours minmaxxing a build that *very well could get nerfed*, or, even worse, might end up entirely disappointing because the scaling isnt as good as whatever the broken meta is. I think a better way to Progress swords is instead of a currency, Quests and tasks for swords. the SP currency in Voxlblade is such an irritating feature in the sense that you can very well screw yourself over if you purchase a different hilt than the one thats "The Meta" or even the one that you started evolving and progressing, If there were quests like "deal X amount of fire damage" or "do this amount of earth damage" or "use x amount of lightning abilities", that would make people really invest into the weapon they are choosing, without being locked into that one or else they risk being extreme underpowered for the next 15 levels. (Not like the game has any proper Endgame areas however, its only repetive dungeons after the gigantic empty map thats "full of ((only)) secrets" no longer has enemies that can challenge you.) Voxlblade im your BIGGEST HATER.

the game is supposed to be difficult and diverse, it has hundreds of combinations your supposed to use, when you first play the game its supposed to be just you learning what to do and understanding how sword upgrades and guilds work well with certain perks. my first slot i ever made was such an awful build with 7dps monk and a tiny bit of water boost but then my second one i created was one that hit 400dps and then you just progress further as time goes on. you dont need to play the meta to still do well at the game, as long as you have a build that can hit 200+dps then you can still enjoy the game without needing to max out the build, plus you have to understand this game is legit solo developed from what we know so content for a game like this is hard to create and push out consistently and it would honestly be impossible to create HUNDREDS of different quests for all the swords, handles and essenses in the game. the only thing about the game is that it doesnt handhold you the entire way through it which some people dont like and leads to them quiting before giving the game a chance and learning what to do

As someone who has 2 max slots and have bought every single thing (other than cosmetics) in the game, I actually agree that the beginner problem is huge in Voxlblade. It really needs more stuffs in the game to also introduce the important stuffs. Infusing, enchant transferring, crafting location, fast travel, etc, all those things are important, but players need to ask or be told about it or actively search things up on their own. It doesn't help that the wiki is never updated anymore and you have to use the trello now. Who the heck search up Trello as a new player? To fix that, an NPC should be in place in Frontier to help guide the players to what they should know, and someone needs to work on the wiki too or at least put in place links to redirect people to Trello. As for the boring early game problem, it just means you're not long enough in the MMORPG scene. It is the thing you have to accept in a lot of MMORPGs since the early days. I have played Seal Online, Ragnarok online (OG), Guild Wars 2, etc. All those have pretty slow and pretty boring early game. But the progression in MMORPG is the one that's important, not the early game. In my opinion, just my opinion, sorry if you don't like what I'm saying, judging an MMO from just the early game is a failed review of MMO, tho I can understand your point of view. In conclusion, I think what Voxlblade really needs is just something to help newer players understand the game from inside the game and not from trello. I say this, because I always find it tiring having to explain important stuffs to new players, like what is infusing? What are enchants? How to craft? Etc. I want to play my own game, but I have this tendency of being unable to ignore them, because I also really want this game to have its spotlight.

If you take quests you can get near level 20 in an hour, wich is enough for having a halfway maxed sword, a guild and a decent equipment, for starting a build. The travel is quite easy, either use buni set, and cross the whole map in a minute, or use the teleport cantrip to any biome of you wanted to. Tho i wont deny some quests, as the buni ring are quite tiring, tho that one is a bonus that lets you to go from lvl 8 to lvl 15 instantly kekw. Also 7:30 sorry, this aint your average bandit beater with quest npcs in the easiest to see spots. This game is more focused on exploring, tho most quests are easy to find, other ones requires to actually explore.

Fun fact: If you have the right sword combination, your "Block" turns into "Parry." When I got this sword, it made the game a lot more enganging. With parry, I lost the ability to hold down the block button, but could instead negate all effects of the attack if I timed the block right. Most people would try not to get too close to the big enemies and block if they thing they'll be attacked, only to be launched away, but I would always be in the face of the enemy, always evading damage and completely resisting any knockback, assuming I can time the parry right. Of course, any long-lasting attacks like beams or rolls would completely destroy me, but it was a lot more enjoyable than the mostly unused blocking. Anyways, thinking back upon it now, I can't help but think why parry wasn't available with all swords in the first place.

[@igennemtom8004]

imo voxlblade just needs to improve its mid game prog (lvl 13-20), because surely bawxol thought server hopping a void rift 20 times is a very very fun grind (also please never compare voxlblade to blox fruits ever again, a 30 minute server hopping session doesnt compare to DAYS of grinding just for the game to get fun)

[@theoreticalexistence9630]

Voxlblade has some issues but some of your points are kinda dumb and I can't pretend they aren't The rabbit's foot + gold ring quest you mentioned, while annoying, neither of the enemies are "nowhere near" where you get the quest. The spot you get the quest has a cave right next to it that leads to an area called Magus, guess what spawns there. (magelings) Right infront of the house is a farm, guess what spawns there. (bunis) The level lock doesn't actually stop you from doing anything but the main quest, which, as of now, only serves the purpose of giving you the ability to teleport between sword shrines at level 20 (this solves a bunch of issues with travel times that I'm sure you was wondering how people deal with) Admittedly the game does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to tell you there are other sword shrines throughout the map or why you would want to bother finding them. There are 2 level locks for the main story, 1 to get to level 10, 1 to get to level 20, saying you reached the 4th one while at Flora goes crazy. You didn't get the incredibly common buni set for its speed boost at the start, which doesn't entirely solve the problem of the map but it definitely would have helped. You have multiple loadout slots for this reason. Brother you literally have an ability, and were USING the ability, that shows you the exact location of every single quest on the map, HOW were you having trouble finding quests??? Also enemies can drop a good chunk of XP without quests. The only time the complaint about "enemy kills being wasted without quests" is unironically valid is with the iron slayer/snoeman/modified enemies quests in which case three of those are found in the tundra which is extremely out of the way and the enemies are extremely rare. In that case this is a valid complaint that I think should be changed, otherwise you should have just used seek. In the Floral area, most of the quests aren't even in the town, the one of the two that are can be completed literally right next to it and the other leads to tundra, in the section where you mention this, you are standing right next to a ladder that leads to a quest, which you should have easily found if you used the seek ability. Aside from the basic bees, this is the area where enemies start dropping noteworthy amounts of XP. Literally nothing was stopping you from going to other areas to do quests that gave more XP lol. As for the combat loop yes it sucks. No "but", it just sucks. Its satisfying making the ideal build for whatever you're going for, and that's about it.

I got to level 10 to 15 (level block) in like 5 to 10 minutes, so it's no that hard when you know what to do, the problem is that after level, say, 20-25 it's repetitive because you did half of the story line or more and now the goal becomes find a build you want, get the set, and level up this said set (with can take at minimum, 7 days). And obtain the OP items can take even longer because it require a high level of crafting, and rare items, the grind to some of those it's not that bad, but most of the time you're to weak to do some dungeon or kill certain mob to get the item you need, so the game lose the fun after 5-6 hours of play for the average player, but it can look "nice" grind for the geeks out there who are welling to spent at least 70 to 100 hours playing to get one peace of a set to max level and enchants. So, what i'm trying to say is that it's bad because after a little while you just have to do and find out everything by yourself (there's nothing telling what to do or go for) and the grind is worthless because once on the process to get these items and sets you realize it's pointless, boring and repetitive, so why do it for little to no reward at the end? Over. And over. Again. Just to get some set that might not even be worth it? No chance. That's my view of the game, if you have time and no life, go for it, but if you don't have the time, go play some obbies and stop complaining.

[@imaweiner1293]

As a Voxlblade player, I understand the criticism. The game never had a tutorial, and only recently added a way to check what quests you haven't done yet, with a skill that lets you see NPC markers across the map. It's not a game you should daily, but rather one you can play now and again. There's a lot more to the game mechanics that wasn't mentioned in the video, but I won't pin that on them because they're mid-late game, weapon-dependent, or equipment-dependent.

[@atlas2555]

1. The game is the most fun at the start when you still have quests, and then becomes boring at end game when you're just grinding the dungeons, which eclipse never even got to 2. You call the game "stock standard" but then you don't elaborate why 3. The map isn't too big you just don't understand it yet, there are a lot of things to explore and the level design intricately connects every part of the map with shortcuts (which you'd find if you were actually exploring) also buni armor that you acquire at the start of the game gives movement speed and you later unlock fast travel 4. "magelings don't spawn anywhere near where you get this quest" is literally looking directly at the entrance to magus 5. You honestly believe you should get progress towards a quest BEFORE you even acquire the quests. This is just such a horrible take I don't even have to explain why 6. Going into the main town of an area to grab quests that are literally highlighted for you is not "out of the way" every kill enemy quest will be inside the same part of the map with those enemies 7. The combat isn't the most intricate thing ever, but it has its own learning curve and every build plays differently. The click 3 times and repeat playstyle you were doing isn't how the majority of builds play you just didn't unlock anything past the basic sword moveset. And unlike most rpgs on roblox it actually promotes build variety and party roles for dungeons. 8. The game isn't fun for you not because the game gets better later or anything like that, but because you don't even know why you're progressing through the game. You're supposed to already have an idea for your build and then when you're playing the game you're actively working towards a goal. Like, level 10 and 15 are big milestones because that's when you unlock elemental weapons and guilds, and if you knew that then you'd be motivated to get to those levels. But when you don't have any concept of what you're doing with your build you are missing out on what is literally the entire point for voxlblade. Personally, even before I knew how in-depth the build making was, I was hooked by the original music, creative art style, intricate map design, unique dungeons, and the massive incentive to explore. 9. You think the game should have pvp, which is such a comically bad take I don't even know how to respond to it. Overall, I think eclipse went into this expecting a blox fruits type game, and when it didn't align with the typical roblox rpg gameplay loop he interpreted it as a bad thing since that's what he's used to and what he thinks games should be. It's kind of like an elder scrolls player going into dark souls for the first time, and understandably having criticism when the things they're used to expecting from an rpg isn't being provided. Also, he's completely dead set on never using a trello, but he makes zero effort to learn things from the in game sources. He skips dialogue and admitted to not talking to any of the npcs, and then complains about things that he wouldn't be complaining about if he didn't do that. Every criticism he made was either just straight up false or came from his own lack of knowledge, which is remedied by actually putting in any amount of effort to learn how to play the game.

The games combat is still really bad.

SOME RANDOM STUFF IDK" as your builds kills a part of the game.

[@fibblyjuice]

[@LM-it8fw]

The thing with voxlblade is that its mainly a game about making builds. I admit, the combat is simple and the quests are hard to come by, point taken, but the thing that makes voxlblade fun for most people is once you already know a bit of the game and decide to do a new diferent build. Once you start seeing the possible armor combos you can make so that you can be the fastest man alive or doing 100 fire dmg per second. I admit that that is also a problem, having to go by the entire game before you actually have an idea of what you're doing, but diferent then bloxfruits (plz dont compare both games) its all about how you make your build with it having heaps of customizable parts
