Pros
Pro Good pacing
For the most part it is known when you will be surrounded by enemies (when stepping on a rune, which is needed to progress) which allows the player to prepare. Enemies throughout the rest are scattered giving time to react, but the deeper on gets into the game the more difficult it will become, but does happen at a pace that the player feels prepared for it.
Pro Huge replayability
Every play through is a unique experience, with hundreds of races, skills, weapons, items, and encounters to choose from.
Pro Extremely strategic
Every play through raises a huge number of strategic choices.
Cons
Con Enemies can spawn right next to you and one hit kill
This issue can be infuriating due to how random it is, an enemy can spawn right next to your character and one hit kill them, depending on how far you have gotten in the game this can be quite annoying.
Con Classes are unbalanced
This may change in the future as this is an Early Access game, which mean things will change and get updated. Currently though the ranged classes have an easier time in the game making for unbalanced gameplay depending on what class is chosen.
Con Very challenging
This is not a game for Grandma, the action is very fast paced and intense. Even if you're already an expert gamer, you will lose many times before you learn how to win.
