Hero Siege

Patch 2.0 is bad. Destroyed the game.
On the good side they allowed old version (for local play at the moment) in latest patch.
Hopefully they'll see their mistake with 2.0, accept it as failure, remove it from the game and move from older version.
I understand that they spend time in development of it and don't want that time be wasted but a failure is a failure.
Recommended for single player mode in old version, not recommended for 2.0.

The monetisation in this game is terrible, most classes are locked until purchased, but decent content and a bunch of character choices for the base price of game. Most of the negative comments are due to this game having been changed from what it used to be into essentially a blatant copy of Diablo 2. Many items, skills, locations, enemies, systems, etc. are identical (often even with same or similar names). The positive reviews all seem to come either from people who didn't care about this change (they liked D2) or started playing after it. Essentially if you like D2 you will also enjoy this game - buy accordingly. My only real complaint has been not enough people seem to be playing this game, hence items on the trading post are often too few and overpriced since players can't be sure what they're actually worth without price competition / comparison from other players listing the same items. Also, info on wikis seems often non-existent or not updated. I saw someone else link a google doc spreadsheet manual from the devs which has been invaluable:
Overall, I think this game really deserves a higher review rating, as it is a solid, fun game (albeit a pretty blatant copy of D2).

5 days ago I had 2 hours in this game and played it many years ago when it was a wave clearer.
Now I am almost 50 hours in and fully hooked. Very fun arpg with a lot of systems that work well together to create extra challenges and upgrade your character more and more to face them proper.
All the dlc seems a bit shocking at first but it's a lot of skins, extra classes on top of all the free ones already in, an additional act and stash+inventory tabs. Nothing too outragous and seems to be frequent on sale.
Also can be played offline just fine but has online if wanted.

This game is way underrated. I can see the micro transaction hate though. It follows the PoE model where you buy stash tabs and cosmetics so it isnt P2W. In addition the character unlocks are more so DLC based transactions. They could bundle them by type and just make it more attractive.

For the game itself, it plays like d2 LOD. Synergy style skill tree and you generally fully level up around late Nightmare mode/ Early hell. Lots of end game progression. With a more player base it could be great with future seasons. if you like D2 or project D2 or PoE. Its worth a shot. Each class is hyper focused with 2 trees. lots of fun.

8/10 Lots of fun classes and items to build around, very solid ARPG with huge updates and content every season. I was sceptical to try at first because of the many negative stream reviews but they couldn't be more untrue. I have no idea why theyre so unhinged LUL. Game is good, devs are very active, the HS Discord has a huge and helpful community.

Its a fun game, but man I wish the "complete edition" was actually a complete edition. there still paid stuff in-game that I don't have. lots of micro transactions for skins, and another class that doesn't come with complete edition. As well as a subscription you have to pay monthly for, for other stuff like a house in-game. I would have left a negative review, but the game is still pretty solid despite the garbage money grab tactics.
