But once you have a roster of characters that are level 10+ the game gets better.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I wouldn't let this be a fully limiting factor for you, in this state, since the weapons are almost all fun and interesting to use in their own way.

Honestly, Hammerwatch 2 gets a lot of flak for being a multiplayer-only game, but single-player is still totally fun—you just have to know what you're getting into.
