User Reviews

Reviewers praise the game's deep lore, open exploration, and satisfying old-school RPG combat, boosted by a responsive solo developer and great replayability. Common drawbacks center on stability issues, a challenging UI/UX, and tedious stat management. Overall, strong world-building and commitment from the developer stand out, with technical hiccups and interface quirks as the main caveats.

Pros

Deep story and lore with rich world-building and dialogue/books
Open exploration with many secrets and quests
Fluid combat with multiple playstyles and spell-learning from books
Dedicated solo developer who is responsive to feedback and free of ads/microtransactions
High replayability and strong value with many ways to overcome challenges

Cons

Stability and performance issues (crashes, frequent exits) on some devices
Save/load problems and needing to back up progress around fights
Interface/controls and navigation can be unintuitive; learning curve and hidden interactables
Some players find combat progression tedious due to heavy stat management and lack of respec
Occasional device-specific problems and rough edges

You can tell the dev put a lot of time energy and love into this game. It’s so well done and the tutorials are super helpful. My only request is portrait mode if ever possible.

This has become one of my favorite games. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but from a solo indie dev who cares and supports the game. The story and lore are so deep. Great world building 10/10
