Reviewing this as a standalone mod

The monsters are really well designed and the animations are stellar. And I love the early game when they start appearing for the first time.

But in the late game things begin to get silly. It seems the viral progression scales really drastically out of nowhere, and not like a World War Z type thing. I believe the default system needs some serious balancing. The later mobs are also unbalanced in attack damage.

Additionally I appreciate the elaborate config, but I get extremely confused trying to manage/navigate it without causing a crash. Earlier versions of this mod had simpler configs which I enjoyed.

Finally, performance goes insanely down when the biomes arrive.

I like the mod but would like more fine tuning rather than more content being added.

It’s the reason i started playing 1.12.2 in the first place. The mod is so interesting. all of it’s features are super well made and fit together great. the balance of the mod is very uhm… well, it’s not the greatest. But, the mod has a HUGE config file that allows for pretty much everything to be configured. It’s a really neat mod and the community is great. Pretty much every time i’ve played this, i’ve had fun

I love this mod, but only after downloading 50 more mods and spending hours editing config files. This mod is so unbalanced that the only way to get a good experience is in a professional modpack. Besides that, the aesthetics are really good.

This mod is absolutely one of the best mods to spice up your gameplay experience. The parasites are not only amazingly modeled and look grotesque in the best way, but are also relentless, and fighting them is a constant uphill struggle.

The evolution mechanic ensures that the parasites will continue to get stronger if you don’t deal with them, and the later mobs it spawns can even break blocks and summon more mobs.

They have a reputation of being damage sponges, but it can easily be tweaked in the configs, along with most other parts of the mod. If you’re considering playing with this, playing with freinds or as a later challenge in a pack is the best way imo

is fun and scary, tho in the end it can become a scandal if you are not careful. it forces you to be alert for much of the game and makes you feel like in a movie or sm ( or i dunno i felt like that XDD)

i really like the biome the mod adds to the game, and how it spreads slowly, it really gives a feeling of dread.

the mobs are awesome, and some of them if not all are super difficult to fight with, they can give you a jumpscare sometimes

super unbalanced but you can fight the parasites adding some other mods that adds powerful tools

the evolution system and enemies designs are awesome
