It's in a good spot.Īaaactually, it devalued long-range skills a little, since you wouldn't be using hard-hitting long range skills after a few mobs died. I'd more readily understand how one may have wanted to turn them off back when they were introduced. How it is on release is a lot more lenient with a multitude better ways to clear corpses, and (I may be wrong on this! Been some time) the corpses themselves seem to have a little less HP. It was a little finicky then, but something I could work around. On the corpse patch, it pretty much broke my playstyle and got me to reevaluate all class abilities. Just since I posted about it on this page to begin with, like to clarify that I was a very early Early Access adopter (not kickstarter tho), so I played it plenty prior to corpses too. I dunno, maybe I'm just a grouch who approaches gaming ( especially roguelikes) in a really oddball way. I mean, if you want to play the game outside of intended balance, might as well mod out permadeath and not being able to tackle lower dungeons with higher characters while we're at it. I don't really understand how people are still complaining about them, but whatever, the option to turn them off exists anyway.

Between blights, crits, and literally corpse-wiping abilities like the Occultist and Leper have (which are a bonus, as formation-breaking abilities are generally very, very useful for mitigation anyway) corpses are a complete non-issue.

I kept restarting progress every major early access patch because I wanted to 'experience the game with the new features', and it got too time consuming and I had to uninstall and tell myself to only come back in on release, since it really was to the detriment of other games for something that wasn't in a final state.

So, the last I touched this game was when they'd first brought in corpses.
