Even getting a game to start is nightmarish - I've actually had multiple instances of the game just refusing to start despite all 4 players being present and ready.

And unfortunately, it's not just my connection - every single Armello player I've ever encountered on Xbox has encountered the same issue. The idea of seamlessly replacing a disconnected player with an AI seems like a foreign concept to the developers. I'd estimate about 70% of my games ended this way. I've literally just sat on the same player's turn for a full half hour without anything happening before finally giving up. And by breaking, I mean that the turn timer just straight-up fails to work, and no one can make any progress whatsoever. I can count on one hand the number of times I've played a game online and actually had it finish without the game breaking partway through.

There's a lot about this game that's genuinely amazing.But it's all dragged down by the game's awful, AWFUL connectivity issues. The gameplay is incredibly solid, the characters are very unique and surprisingly well-balanced for the most part, the art style is absolutely gorgeous, and every game feels unique and interesting.
