Last Epoch 1.0 update is out, adds offline mode and controller support
Last Epoch has officially hit 1.0 with a full offline mode and controller support, perfect for the Steam Deck.
The implementation of the forced online mode was my biggest issue with D4 on the steam deck, so this is a welcome change.
So is it any good?
I have a couple hundred hrs in and I would definitely say it's good. It's clear the devs care about making a good game, rather than just a financially successful one. If you're into ARPGs, it's worth the asking price.
It's worth noting that with the 1.0 launch, there have been connection and loading issues, but they're working through them and should (hopefully) be resolved soon.
Edit: I should also add that complexity-wise, it strikes a happy medium between Path of Exile and Diablo 4. There is a lot of customization depth between passives and skills, but it doesn't feel like you need a college degree just to theorycraft a build. You can also reset all passive and skill points, so you're free to experiment.
Is it as good as Grim Dawn?
You're missing out on the fact that the game isn't actually complete. It's labled as a 1.0 release only because all the classes are now out. The full campaign still isn't done and is missing several chapters. The devs themselves mention this.
Thanks for the run down.
