The First Descendant is proving addictive, with some players clocking in over 100 hours in the first week alone.
The new robber shooter The First Descendant has caught the attention of players in the robber shooter community. Although the game received mixed reviews on Steam, it managed to keep players hooked and has a steady player count averaging 170,000 concurrent players per day.
In The First Descendant subreddit, a user with 147 hours of playtime wrote that they “had a hard time staying away from that game,” while other players also shared similar thoughts. SamGoingHam mentioned that they couldn’t get into Destiny 2 because the DLC was unavailable. Yes, the First Descendant has an advantage over its competitors because it can effortlessly attract more players as a free-to-play game.
Others applauded the game’s fresh and smooth shooting, character abilities, and overall gameplay. One of the reasons why The First Descendant is so addictive and has produced such a high amount of hours of gameplay is that there is so much to do, from world exploration to unlocking new weapons and characters.
As further evidence of its success, The First Descendant reached 10 million players in just seven days of its launch.
To keep the player count healthy in the possible years to come, the developers will need to continuously work to improve the game by adding new content from time to time, fixing issues and listening to community feedback. After seeing the post-launch support so far, it sure looks like they know what they’re doing and we’re in for a good run.
Players on Twitter also shared how they enjoyed the new anime RPG from NEXON Games. User Ashley tweeted that this was “one of the funnest looters ever” and they “can’t wait to make more content and grind the f*** out of the game.”
