The gameplay has potential, but many users find the combat mechanics to be clunky and lacking fluidity, with specific issues noted in the dodge and lock-on systems. While some moments can be enjoyable when mechanics function properly, the overall experience feels inconsistent, leading players to suggest waiting for updates before fully engaging with the game.
“I played a bit solo and it was kind of fun when the mechanics worked and the items you can use functioned properly.”
“The dodge mechanics add an interesting layer to the gameplay.”
“It would be better if the lock-on mechanic was a one-push function to stay locked on while facing the enemy, similar to the Dark Souls lock-on mechanic.”
“The game concept looks promising, but after playing for a short time, I concluded that the combat mechanics are poor and lack fluidity; it feels clunky.”
“I may return after some better quality updates to the mechanics, but as of now, I would suggest that people wait until there is more development.”
“The lock-on mechanic is weird; it would be better if it was a one-push function to lock on and stay locked on while facing the enemy, similar to the Dark Souls lock-on mechanic.”

The graphics are praised for their gorgeous environments and appealing low-poly art style, which enhances the immersive experience in the game’s expansive dungeons. While the art style and movement mechanics are well-received, the character models have received mixed feedback, indicating room for improvement as the game continues to develop.
“Gorgeous environments, I love the low-poly art style and how it shines in the sprawling dungeons.”
“The art style is right up my street, and I found it very easy to lose myself in the game, even though I haven't even explored everything there is to see yet.”
“So yeah, it's early in development; I like the art style, movement, and horse riding are good, and I hope to see good updates in the future.”

The game lacks a cohesive overarching story, functioning more as a sandbox experience where players can explore and solve puzzles at their own pace. While this freedom is appreciated, the absence of a clear narrative or guided path may leave some players wanting more structure.
“I love the freedom of being able to roam around, solve the puzzles, and unravel the story at my own pace.”
“There doesn't seem to be an overall story, so it's mostly a sandbox experience.”
“No clear story to follow or even a path to guide you to anything.”
“While I love the freedom of exploration, the lack of a cohesive story is disappointing.”
