Spellcaster Survivors

I wanted to really like this one when I saw the pre-intro and intro screens and heard the BGM. Really pulled me into the vibe, character select was good too, the characters are interesting though somewhat one-dimensional in appearance (I get that they're all supposed to be wizards but still...) -- it made me want to come back and pick a different class to see what might change. When the gameplay started though, I was somewhat disappointed; BGM changed and became too jarring, SFX didn't feel great. VFX weren't super strong either. The character model and enemies are decent, background decent as well but not that memorable. When I died, there was no death scene, just an immediate cut to the menu. Powerup scenes in between rounds were interesting, a lot of stats to look at and some cool powerups though the art was somewhat lacking. Overall I feel like the potential is there if the game is polished to match the quality of the intro.
