I say Dead Bride is the humbler fr. At least the first one. Her shield is massive and her wide area ability will catch you off guard the first time. Plus if someone goes down you gave to let them die unless they're at the edge of it. And the minions barely drop ammo. If you didn't struggle at Dead Bride you will at Devourer. His HP regen will make your efforts fruitless unless you can dish out that much damage which if you haven't maxed (at that level) out your weapons and got the right weapons in the first place you definitely won't be beating him the first few times

[@memozzy22]

I feel like the game got more interesting after beating devourer

[@colby8104]

The harder late gam difficulty is due to them wanting you to buy the things that make your character better. This gas been researched on their side this is the best way to maximize the money you spend. Make the game easy in the beginning to get you hooked and then once you have a good amount of hours invested, you're more likely to pull your wallet. Its a looter shooter with mobile monetization. Don't say it's "like warframe". Warframe is much cheaper and the bid difference is they also have trading. You truly don't have to spend a dime in warframe to experience everything they have to offer.

Its a one time use for that skin. Not much better, but at least on that same skin, you can swap between unlocked colors at will, in every slot.

What game are you playing??? I played for 1.5 hours last night with a couple lads, had some moderate fun. Hopped on it today with the same group & boy oh boy after completing the 2nd zone, we all came to the same conclusion that the game is stale and boring. The most tedious part was when you would clear out your inventory to make space for new loot only to make space yet again several times during one mission. It is absurd. Not to mention the pay to experience from nexon.

[@rayanitis]

So the first zone is basically a playable tutorial, the difficulty and fun actually ramp up from there. It has a really in depth build mechanic that is unique to every character.

On your point of difficulty, I wonder then if you unlocked all the zones? There are a couple of fairly steep dif increases once your in the last couple of zones. But one can get to max level on a character prior to even unlocking these areas. And paint locks to the skin so if you put a white on a skin you can add or remove that color on any slot on that piece infinite amount. Other than that, spot on.

[@Footbag86]

Honestly him claiming that NORMAL mode enemies are bullet sponges just goes to show how absolutely nothing he understands of this game / genre. Sure if you just use any old gun you pick up, don't mod it, don't use your abilities correctly , don't mod your character correctly and don't hit weak points correctly - everything is a bullet sponge. But if you just put in an iota of your thinking cap for like half a second you will learn that this game is extremely easy at the start but ramps up significantly. If you don't build the right stuff you will get owned permanently but obviously Mr. "I have to get this "review" out fast" didn't even try to get to endgame or move past the most basic of bosses / missions. Obviously, just like Warframe you trivialise the content if you grind hard enough and build up your characters into the sun but an extremely large part of the playerbase gets stuck long before they finish the story because they can't move past a boss (the story is locked behind beating the bosses). Frankly, this wasn't as much a review as it was someone playing the game for like ..3-4 hours by the looks of it and then going "AHA I KNOW IT ALL" ...Yes the story is bland, yes the mission design is meh to bad and yes the mtx are insane. Then again, 3 of my buddies playing this game have already unlocked Ultimate Bunny (50-60 bucks your currency to buy) and I currently have 10 characters (8 built, 2 in the works since timers) and I've only splurged on 2 of them because costumes. And what's even crazier is that Nexon (yes those guys) are clearly trying to turn over a leaf, they hotfixed the game multiple times within the FIRST week, address concerns over drop rates, talk about OP builds and whether or not they should exist / be nerfed, listen to feedback (they implemented matchmaking for hard dungeons within like 3 days of ppl spamming reddit "game is ded" because it didn't have PuG'ing for the hard mode dungeons) and just generally seem on a good track (roadmap already released, we have new content releasing almost monthly until the end of year). It's still Nexon, the greedy money-hungry idiots can still royally screw it up, but for now it is a very fun, 100% F2P looter shooter with good graphics, fun combat, great movement and lots of stuff to collect. If you like Looter Shooters and you are fed up with Warframe, this will be your jam.

I started playing a few days ago because some friends wanted me to. At the start of the game you're bombarded with a bunch of controls that you have to remember, after that literally nothing else about the game mechanics is ever explained. I mean literally nothing, you're left to fend for yourself to try and figure out everything. The game is so repetitive, the missions are over before you know what you're even doing playing when playing publicly or with friends that are just a few levels higher than you. I can't see most people wanting to play The First Descendant ever again after playing just a couple of hours and you realise what the game actually is going to be like

Also the game is fairly beginner friendly at the start, the grind and possible deaths kicks in about the agna desert or white night gulch part of the campaign i'd say. Also you can earn paint, emotes, and ecive skins etc for free from doing easy challenges like destroying weak points 10 times on a certain collosus etc.

How would spending money make you any stronger? A nice colorful skin? The MTX complaints people have for this game make absolutely no sense. All you can do with money is buy easily farmable crafting, (defeats the entire point of a looter shooter) and skins. Your gear level is locked to your actual progress. Can't get anything stronger than how far you've progressed. Even if you buy a legendary weapon or descendant you are still limited to your gear level. If you use the right gear and unlock a variety of characters, everything is doable. For example, playing anything but Bunny makes Pyromaniac doable (third to last normal mode boss). If you started with Ajax and/or have one in your squad, Pyro is a breeze. Just do the gameplay loop properly. Finish a world, equip all the new best stuff, use weakpoint damage on bosses, check the resistances of Collosi, tanky stats on descendants, scrap everything else, continue. It does get more difficult but it really is just forcing you to properly engage with all the upgrades and mechanics.

[@gnarlyboyjai]

@@brendandrummond1739ultimates have better stats the regular descendants. They also come with what you need to enhanced module capacity. You can also buy more mod capacity items for like 20 bucks(highly overpriced) so yes someone who spent money could fit higher level mods at a higher quantity on their weapons and descendants and breeze through the game from start to finish. Only thing they’d need to farm is the material to upgrade mods and from what I hear that is actually very easy to do at a certain point

I just bought the battlepass coming from destiny but honestly after some time in the game it's not really needed, you will still get battle pass rewards on the free one and can do challenges anyways but if you do buy it it's pretty useful, you get premium currency in the paid battle pass as you level up so pretty worth it There are many things that can be improved but the developers are constantly updating the game based on feedback, they got a good team

Theyve got this in-game shop that opens on the weekends now and a robot with sell you a set variety of paints, weapon parts, character parts,storage spaces, equipment spaces and consumable items. Extra parts can be traded for Weekend shop currency. The Endgame is where it got better for me. Which is like the real start of the game. Hard mode, 400% Dungeons, Invasions, and Collosuss's battles are pretty fun and a challenging experience. I've been playing for 3 months now with 749hrs logged.

You forgot to mention that First Descendant uses a mod system from Warframe with one major difference. - In Warframe to double your Mod capacity you can earn Orokin Catalysts and Reactors in game from special missions or via the battlepass (Nightwave), also Warframe HAS player to player trading. - In First Descendant you get 2 Exchangers (equivalent) from playing through the campaign, the only way to get more Exchangers is from the cash shop, also there is NO trading in First Descendant so the only way to max out gear after the first two is to spend real life money. Also note that the Maple Story fine was for REMOVING ITEMS FROM LOOTBOX DROP RATES without telling the players. Nexon removed the chase item from the lootbox without telling players.
