Silent Hope: Day One Edition (NSW)

If you're looking for a cozy ARPG for the Switch, this is gonna be your jam. My ARPG credentials go back decades to Diablo II, Titan Quest, Diablo III, Torchlight 1 & 2, Grim Dawn, and others I'm probably forgetting by this point. I've spent easily 3000+ hours grinding ARPGS, absolutely one of my favorite genres. Each character has a base class and two advanced classes to play around with, each coming with three different skills that synergy with each other.My favorite thing; each character has two health potions, and the only way to restock is to return to base. But there are crystals on most levels where you can swap your character out for one of the other six, effectively giving you 14hp pots total for a dungeon run. I've also noticed that when you level a character up higher than the others, the grind is slower, but the others will catch up FAST, so they can all stay on track with each other easily enough.Please try it!Edit: I will come back and edit this review if It doesn't hold up, but from what I've found I have 3 more story dungeons after this one, and two post-game dungeons. I work full time and have a family, so I can't no-life the game, but for a few hours a day it's a blast!Oh! And I know each character having 3 skills doesn't sound like a lot, but remember you're effectively taking all 7 into the dungeon each time. You have 21 skills available to keep it fresh, but only 3 are available at a time.

Very good price for this game

Very nice .Works well. Thank you
