Guns and bows were forgotten. Melee were meh and Magic was really overly emphasized.

Early game was about the only time that melee was balanced, with guns almost not present and none of my friends interested in bows.

Mid game, the guns were introduced, I always loved guns and tried fast as possible to get myself the handgun, already outrun by my caster friend with his emerald staff, soon to be upgraded with a diamond staff.

And Hardmode... As you can tell. It's all about staves and magic.
