My partner who’s been a Diablo junkie back in the day couldn’t stop playing this in early access to the point of being on some leaderboards. From what I’ve seen over the shoulder it seems VERY solid and it’s probably one of the better survivor-likes around.
Supposedly it just scratches „that itch” - mindless grind and loot cycle integrated into survivor-like formula. There are more games like it but HoT is also nailing aesthetics. Death Must Die is another game in similar vein but they also went one step further and copied upgrades from Hades too (this one I played myself). Both are enjoyable remixes on proven formulas and there’s nothing wrong with that.
