    Anvil is fun and addictive, but it does not have the personality to shine in a very competitive genre such as the roguelike.

    Anvil: Vault Breakers is a solid, stylish sci-fi action shooter that does roguelike gameplay right. [Early Access Score = 80]

    During its next stage of development, it will be interesting to see how ANVIL will establish its identity as something greater than the sum of its parts. It's clear that ANVIL is utilizing the best designs and systems from the games mentioned throughout this review, but it comes at the cost of not feeling like it's doing anything new or at least anything that is uniquely "ANVIL." With ANVIL: Vault Breakers promising regular updates, it has plenty of time to become something entirely its own. [Early Access Review]

Alone it's harder and i doesn't have a long time fun at this game, maybe an hour or two. But with friends you can play it all day long and it won't getting bored! Because of that only 8/10 points.

I do think it needs a lot of balance updates, I like a challenge, but after my 5th death making it all the way to end and almost killing the boss, I would like to feel some sense of progression and currently that's not the case. The visuals are fun and the combat is in my opinion pretty smooth. I got it trough Game Pass, so if you have Game Pass, give it a try if you like rogue-likes. The price on steam seems pretty reasonable imho. Over all the game is a lot of fun to play and a great way pass the time, but it doesn't do anything special (yet). For now its a solid 7/10, with uppdates it could easily be a 8 or 9 out of 10. Expand
