I’m sorry for them, but I promised myself not to buy anything from LoG after the shitshow that was Armello.

They promised an update to bring cross-play to the game, went silent for years, and when it finally arrived, it broke the game to the point that it was more frustrating than fun to play. I waited for a fix for months, and it never arrived. I’m not sure they ever fixed it (to my knowledge, they haven’t), but even if they did, the fact that they took a game I rightfully bought (the premium edition no less, because I really liked it), broke it to the point of becoming unplayable, and left it in that state for months, is inexcusable.

Oh wow. I remember being so excited for how Armello was going, and then wondering “what happened with this?”.

I never looked too much into it, but I think your comments really describe some of the issues with its development.

Oof that sucks, I was looking forward to playing this game when it was more developed. I love the idea of a playable 80’s anime space opera.
