gameplay4 positive mentions
optimization3 negative mentions
  • Unique melee-focused battle royale concept set in an Asian martial arts world with enjoyable movement like Chi leaping and fast dashes.
  • Visually appealing with nice animations, decent graphics, and atmospheric Asian music and settings.
  • Fun and entertaining gameplay when real players are present, featuring character progression, loot systems, and interesting shrine mechanics.
  • Severely low player base causing matches to be filled predominantly with bots, leading to repetitive and unchallenging gameplay.
  • Combat and movement feel clunky and unpolished; hit registration, animations, and controls need significant improvement.
  • The large map size is poorly matched to the low player count, resulting in excessive running and empty game environments; game also lacks tutorial and clear UI guidance.
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers straightforward controls and loot mechanics with a level-up system tied to player kills, but suffers from a lack of clear explanations and tutorials, leading to player confusion. While the mechanics are decent and show potential for deeper combat and balancing improvements, the current experience feels basic and may not encourage long-term engagement.

    • “I like the level up mechanic whenever you kill another player.”
    • “Straightforward loot mechanics once you learn it.”
    • “Decent mechanics with the potential to become a great game with some balancing to the weapon abilities.”
    • “Battle royale is nonsense, I couldn't understand the gameplay as there were no tutorial.”
    • “Nothing is explained which sucks, but it's pretty simple control and battle royale mechanics.”
    • “My first impression is the game could be interesting especially if it expands beyond battle royale type gameplay and gets more depth to the combat system.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as decent but inconsistent, with some users finding them well-designed while others criticize poor optimization, clunky animations, and low-quality textures. Many reviews note that the visuals have room for improvement, which is expected given the game's early access status. Overall, the graphics receive mixed feedback, ranging from modest praise to notable criticism.

    • “Graphics are quite well made as well as the game mechanics.”
    • “Graphics are actually pretty awesome.”
    • “Decent visuals and graphics, room for improvements but it's still early access.”
    • “Very poor control system, graphics poorly optimized, bad textures, lights.”
    • “Graphics are a bit potato but killing people never gets old.”
    • “Graphical settings could be more polished; otherwise, they aren't bad as mentioned in the pros.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization, resulting in subpar graphics, lighting, and controls, which detracts from the overall experience. However, some players still enjoy the gameplay and movement, suggesting that improved optimization and clearer guidance could enhance enjoyment.

    • “I am having so much fun and I love the movement; all they need is a little more optimization and guides on what everything does.”
    • “Poorly optimized and frankly less fun to play than watching an egg spoil.”
    • “Very poor control system, graphics poorly optimized, bad textures, lights.”
    • “But I am having so much fun and I love the movement; all they need is a little more optimization and guides on what everything does.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express concern that the game's monetization approach may become problematic in the future and criticize the lack of engaging character or soul, while also calling for more promotional efforts to generate hype and visibility.

  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from numerous glitches, particularly during combat, leading to stability issues and a frustrating experience when rapidly pressing keys.

    • “There are quite a lot of glitches in the game, especially during combat where inputs fail or the experience feels unresponsive.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is largely driven by its poorly translated Korean to English text, which many users find unintentionally hilarious.

  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music features lovely Asian-inspired melodies that complement the countryside and buildings, effectively immersing players in an authentic Asian atmosphere.

    • “Lovely Asian music, countryside, and buildings all make you feel like you're in Asia.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is minimal and lacks depth, offering only a brief mention of nine clans at war conveyed by a mysterious character, with no further development or engaging narrative.

    • “There appears to be no worthwhile story, a 'mysterious lady' tells you there were 9 clans at war with each other... that's it.”
