Friction

Common complaints

Crashes, lag, and performance spikes
The most serious complaint is technical instability during runs: FPS drops, projectile/chain-heavy builds tank performance, crashes can end runs, and some players report unplayable late-game or multiplayer lag. Found in 1 public report.
Multiplayer/networking reliability
Co-op is attractive but fragile in practice. Reviews mention disconnects, inability to join friends, desync/teleporting enemies and bullets, lobby issues, and the lack of a reconnect feature. Found in 1 public report.
Limited content and repetition
Many players like the foundation but say there is not enough content yet: few classes, maps, bosses, mission variety, and endgame depth. Repetition sets in after a handful of runs or once upgrades are unlocked. Found in 1 public report.
Controller and UI usability
Controller support is described as awkward or incomplete, especially for ranged play. Players also ask for better text size/readability and more lobby/menu quality-of-life. Found in 1 public report.
Balance and difficulty rough edges
Some say bosses are overtuned, dodge charges feel insufficient, enemy hitboxes are frustrating, and certain builds or perks create runaway scaling or become either too strong or too limited. Found in 1 public report.
Repetition and sameness over time
Some players feel runs can become samey or repetitive after extended play, especially closer to the endgame or after many hours. Found in 1 public report.
Grind and achievement fatigue
A common complaint is that 100% completion, unlocks, or specific dialogue/ending conditions can require too much grinding or waiting on RNG. Found in 1 public report.
Build or weapon balance
A few reviews mention certain weapons or boons feeling overpowered or some run combinations being less balanced than others. Found in 1 public report.
