I loved RoR2 and appreciate the effort they are putting into this game as a labor of love, but I really have to question if people care for a 2D RoR game after the sequel got so much attention.
I remember reading a lot of comments reading the opposite in the months leading up to RoR2 releasing. People were extremely skeptical about the game moving into 3d.
Going back to 2d might not be as big of a hit as RoR2 was but I'm sure it'll do fine and the increased name recognition should help get some sales too.
I had a multiple hour session where it got to the point where we weren't dealing with FPS we were dealing with SPF. I never did crash though! I couldn't even die lol
I am assuming they will be fixing the memory leak that caused that, as running it on Linux/ Steamdeck causes it to crash at the one hour mark consistently last I played.
Maybe an uncommon opinion, but as someone who's invested hundreds of hours into both games, I actually prefer the 2d experience of ROR quite a lot more than the 3d of ROR2.
