The gameplay features enjoyable sword and shield mechanics, but suffers from outdated teleportation mechanics and a broken shield system. Many users express disappointment, stating that the lack of progress in the game's development, particularly the absence of Act 2, detracts from the overall experience, leading to a lack of recommendation even for a free demo.
“Fun sword/shield mechanics.”
“Teleportation mechanics are interesting, though a bit outdated.”
“I no longer recommend this title even as a free demo because the shield mechanic is broken, Act 2 is nowhere in sight, and it looks like it's going to stay that way.”
