Basically every way to fuck up the Survivors formula is here. But the most egregious is the meta progression that's literally just a hard stat wall to force you to grind out runs until you dump enough XP into it to win.
As a consequence of this, most of the mechanics become obsolete after 1 or 2 runs because you outscale everything ludicrously hard until you run into the wall again and maybe a good build can squeeze out 10% extra EXP that will just be massively outscaled on the next run so there's no point.
And then when you get to the end you realize that you barely get any scenes for your trouble. It's sad, because there's 90% of a competent game in here but it's just absolutely ruined. Please save your time and sanity.
