>what makes survival karma running so special and infinitely replayable is how it rewards adaptability
>it does so in a way I never experienced in a PVE game and I really don't think it exists in this way in any other game
>the closest gaming experience I have to this is playing fighting games (PVP) competitively
>in so many I ways I really think that Ninja Gaiden 2 is the ultimate single player fighting game
>because of all the randomness with delimbs, enemy patterns and essence drops, your reactions have to be on point for the duration of the run, and most importantly you will have to constantly adapt your route
>what I mean by route, is when, where and how to play for what type of essence, how much to play for score, how safe to play, and how safe to play in what waves, and even things like in what orders you should kill different enemy types in a wave
