not a bad game to be honest.... it is a chore to master and finish. sadly the game is dead as the devs abandoned it years ago. so whatever bugs and mistakes in the game will stay.

The good: - It is a perfect blend of survival and autobattler! Reminds me a little bit of Punch Club. - Game got pretty deep mechanics and there are various builds possible. - Pretty sarcastic and funny - finally a game with balls! - It makes jokes about our current world, both sides of political spectrum, from the perspective of a hobo. Glad to see a game that is not infected by woke mind virus and is not trying to indoctrinate anyone, but just makes jokes! The neutral: - This game is somehow missing "autobattler" in its tag. - Perhaps it would be better if player had even a tiny bit control during the fight - as hobos are sometimes... circling around the targets - but I guess the patfhinding in the game is to blame - acceptable but annoying. The bad: - RNG can hurt sometimes. - Late-game and ending is garbage, but I guess - it fits the name. - UX is horrible and there are too many stats that are hidden. Unlocking new skills via trainers is annoying, as you cant plan your build till you unlock everything. And... no way to reset skillpoints (but don't worry, you can just grind and fix your build). I personally rate the game 7/10
