Finally 'finished' my first playthrough of the current Calamity version (1.1.6) and here are my opinions on the mod:
Overall, its extremely fantastic. It felt like I was playing a completely different game, yet it was still Terraria. I really enjoyed everything it had to offer and all the items to craft, all the bosses to defeat (more on these soon) and just everything in general. Overall the progression was pretty solid on the mod content (granted a few hiccups that I've noticed) and it wasn't overwhelming at all, barring a couple things (mostly the huge amounts of grinding to craft some later game items).
Now on to the bosses (on a Corruption world):
- Desert Scourge:
Pretty fantastic entry level mod boss. Not too hard, not too easy. Right in the middle and that's how I like it.
- The Hive Mind:
Pretty much the same opinion as Desert Scourge.
- Slime God
This thing took me 5 times to take down. Bloody hell those debuffs. Loved it overall though, despite the annoying difficulty curve (Wall of Flesh was a walk in the park compared to this bloody jerk) and the tease of it spawning an ore you can't mine until you take down all three mechanical bosses was mildly irritating.
- Cryogen
$%#* this thing so hard. Didn't know I was playing Touhou on Lunatic mode. Kind of a gigantic ramp in difficult compared to the mech bosses and you're suppose to take this down before them? Yeeesh. Nonetheless, I took it down and overall found it to be really fun, albeit really annoying as it took me 6 tries to take it down.
- Calamitas
The Twins on mega steroids, 'nuff said. Super fantasic boss fight.
- The Leviathan
If it weren't for the Siren, this would have been incredibly easy. But it wasn't. The bugger also killed me prehardmode while I was collecting stuff. Bloody heck. Really loved the sprite for this thing, although I wish the weapons were a little bit better.
- Plaguebringer Goliath
This thing was an absolute blast to fight. Each phase made the fight even more enjoyable. Really liked the weapons it dropped, too. I fell in love with the Virulent Katana.
- Devourer of Gods
An absolute lagfest, and my laptop isn't that bad. I was crying (not really, but I was getting annoyed) every time I died because the summoning item isn't easy to craft easily. Music was fantastic, though.
- Jungle Dragon, Yharon
It's a dragon, 'nuff said.
No, just kidding. Holy heck, this is probably the best boss in the mod by a landslide. Perfect boss to end a playthrough (at least until 1.1.7 releases, might change my opinion on this). It was difficult, fun, and I enjoyed every moment of it. 100/100.
Yharon also hit me for a 850. Owies.
Sorry I like typing stuff
