What players say

Players are divided on Heroes of Hammerwatch II. Some praise it as a worthy sequel with satisfying progression and fun co-op, while others find it grindy, repetitive, and boring, especially the combat and maps. A common complaint is the punishing death tax that removes 40% of resources early on, and that the game becomes an endless loop of difficulty levels and level caps.
