The gameplay has potential, but many users find the combat mechanics to be clunky and lacking fluidity, which detracts from the overall experience. While some moments can be enjoyable when mechanics function properly, issues like a cumbersome lock-on system hinder the gameplay. Players suggest waiting for updates to improve these mechanics 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.”
“However, I'd like to point out a few things from my less than an hour of gameplay so far, and I will give it more time than that.”
“Would be fine 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, but holding down the button to semi-lock on to an enemy feels awkward.”
“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 is well-received, opinions on the character models are mixed, with some finding them "interesting." Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the gameplay, with hopes for further improvements as development continues.
“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.”
