  • gameplay72 mentions

    Gameplay in this title showcases a mix of innovative concepts and frustrating execution, with many players noting both engaging mechanics and significant performance issues. While the core gameplay loop is described as fun and versatile, it suffers from bugs, optimization problems, and a steep learning curve that can detract from the overall experience. The game offers a variety of mechanics and customization options, but the execution often feels janky and unpolished, leading to a divided reception among players.

    • “It has great concepts, gameplay, and interesting mechanics and designs.”
    • “The most encouraging thing for me is that the gameplay is fun.”
    • “The gameplay itself and what you find yourself doing is a lot of fun.”
    • “Really amazing concept and theme, sadly let down by horrendous gameplay and performance.”
    • “But some mediocre mechanics plus the horrid optimization makes it hard to enjoy playing.”
    • “This game is extremely buggy and has so many issues, it just completely ruined the gameplay.”
  • optimization70 mentions

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with many players reporting severe performance issues, including low frame rates and frequent bugs. Despite some recent updates aimed at improving optimization, the consensus is that the game remains poorly optimized, making it difficult to enjoy even on high-end systems. While there is potential for improvement, players are advised to wait for further updates before diving in.

    • “Update wise, they're constantly pumping out new content and optimization for the game.”
    • “Either way, I trust that the devs will improve optimization in the future, because they're very active to my surprise!”
    • “It is a bit rough around the edges in terms of optimization and some animations need a bit of touch-up, but the game is fun and there are quite a few build options available.”
    • “The game is terribly optimized; I keep trying it, but getting 60 fps is an absolute pipe dream. On minimum settings, it still struggles, suggesting it's just that it's super early access, and being that they never update it, that probably won't change.”
    • “Optimization is awful.”
    • “I really wanted to like this game; sadly, its bad performance on my rig, which is a Ryzen 9 3900X, RTX 2070, and 32 GB of RAM, was struggling to keep constant 50+ fps, which is only thanks to my rig totally overkilling it. The game was still horrible to enjoy.”
  • story61 mentions

    The story in the game is often described as vague and lacking depth, with many players finding it difficult to engage with due to tedious fetch quests and confusing mechanics. While some appreciate the world design and the potential for a rich narrative, the overwhelming number of introductory quests and bugs detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration rather than immersion. Overall, the narrative feels underdeveloped and is overshadowed by gameplay issues, making it less compelling for those seeking a strong story-driven experience.

    • “Fantastic world design, great customization, and a fun story.”
    • “Mission after mission, you'll learn more about the world and how everything works.”
    • “They don't lag; they are mostly just the ancestor figure talking at you, and they add a vital element to this complex world and story.”
    • “The storyline is vague, rough, and mostly nonexistent.”
    • “But seriously, you won't give any thought to the story past the opening and the 30ish minutes you spend with that game teaching you stuff.”
    • “Hours of bland, boring early tutorial quests that involve running long distances over long, uninspired landscapes looking for rarely spawning animals or NPCs that will probably get shot out of your arms while you're trying to run back to an extraction point with them.”
  • graphics30 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the unique art style and aesthetic, but expressing concerns over performance issues such as low frame rates and graphical glitches. While some users report being able to run the game smoothly on higher-end systems, others struggle with optimization, leading to significant FPS drops even on lower settings. Overall, the visuals are considered pleasant and creative, but they require further refinement to enhance gameplay experience.

    • “I enjoy the aesthetic of the game and music a lot; it touches on a lot of notes my brain has been missing through the years somehow.”
    • “It is so creative and unique, and I just love the art style.”
    • “But big thumbs up for the person who designed the graphics; everything is so cool.”
    • “The game is also pretty buggy, but not like Ark or Fallout New Vegas - all of the bugs I've seen so far are graphical and go away either when you pause then unpause, or when you exit the island you're on.”
    • “The only issue for me at the moment is the graphics aren't optimized, so I can't run it well on my 970, but I can get 45 frames at 1080p, which is good enough for me.”
    • “At the moment, my review is based purely from a performance view. I have an RTX 2070 with an i7 7700k, 32 GB RAM, and I can’t get this game to go over 60-65 fps. The graphics settings also seem to not affect the fps by much either; going from high to low in all settings seems to net about a 10 fps gain.”
  • grinding25 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be quite tedious, particularly due to the extensive resource farming and upgrade systems that offer minimal rewards for significant time investment. While some enjoy the varied combat and cooperative play that can alleviate the grind, many feel that the fetch quests and character progression become unnecessarily drawn out, especially after reaching higher levels. Overall, the grinding can detract from the enjoyment of the game, making it feel like a chore at times.

    • “The upgrade systems are ultra grindy, quite tedious, and unbelievably wide-ranging for very few actual benefits. Basically, your base has like 400 things you can upgrade, and every one of them takes ages to make progress in, with the benefit being just a few percent.”
    • “The game itself can be fun for a while but gets needlessly grindy after around level 50-60. Up until that point, leveling feels smooth and somewhat rewarding, but after that, you just get teased by meaningless level-ups that don't unlock anything new, as upgrades only really come every 10 levels.”
    • “The last mission on the quest board made me rage so hard due to the compass which doesn't display bosses. In the last quest, it's needed so badly because that high lord, who is resistant to everything, will destroy everything you took days upon days grinding in seconds.”
  • stability18 mentions

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, crashes, and optimization issues, particularly in multiplayer mode. Players have experienced frequent freezing, soft locks, and various glitches that significantly impact gameplay. While some acknowledge the game's potential and understand that it is in early access, the overall consensus is that it is currently plagued by stability problems that hinder the experience.

    • “Game constantly freezes or soft locks itself during respawn, loading, and fights.”
    • “Only problem I have with the game is the multiplayer; it's just so buggy from invisible overseers to loot not being dropped and the game always crashing.”
    • “This game is extremely buggy and has so many issues, it just completely ruined the gameplay.”
  • humor12 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by its sarcastic tone and absurd situations, such as comical ragdoll physics and exaggerated enemy reactions. Players find the bugs to be a mixed bag, with some being amusing—like unexpected launches into orbit—while others can be frustrating. Overall, the game's fast-paced action and quirky mechanics contribute to a humorous experience, making it entertaining despite some irritating elements.

    • “Have you ever wanted to play an open world, sarcastic, gory, hack and slash, funny game? Just buy it.”
    • “The ragdolls from explosions and charge attacks are absolutely hilarious.”
    • “Enemies can ragdoll for miles through the air, which would be hilarious if you did significant damage to them, but frequently you do 10 damage and the enemies are sent to the next county anyway.”
  • music9 mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for its aesthetic appeal and ability to enhance the overall experience, particularly during intense combat and boss encounters. However, some players note the repetitiveness of the limited tracks and express a desire for more ambient music to fill the quieter moments. Overall, while the soundtrack is considered decent and fitting for the game's atmosphere, there is room for improvement as the game continues to develop.

    • “I enjoy the aesthetic of the game and music a lot; it touches on a lot of notes my brain has been missing through the years somehow.”
    • “Overall, this game provides a fresh experience with a lot of charm stemming from the music, the way some bosses give you the finger if you die to them, the kindred shopkeepers falling asleep at their stores, having mam's cawl be one of the better healing items in the game, and the strongest amulet that I have being called a 'predator shitstorm amulet'.”
    • “The music from what I have heard is great and matches the area.”
    • “There needs to be some type of ambient music throughout the game; the quiet is deafening.”
    • “The music and sound effects are a bit off, but this can be fixed without a huge fuss as feedback reaches the devs.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    Reviewers express a strong appreciation for the game but suggest that its monetization strategy needs reevaluation. Many recommend transitioning to a free-to-play model with microtransactions or lowering the game's price to attract a larger player base and ensure its longevity.

    • “The monetization model is fair and doesn't feel exploitative, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
    • “I appreciate that the game offers a variety of cosmetic items for purchase, but they don't impact gameplay, which keeps the experience balanced.”
    • “The option to earn in-game currency through gameplay instead of relying solely on purchases is a great way to keep players engaged.”
    • “My only advice is to either make this game free to play with microtransactions or reduce the price; otherwise, this game will just die with its current player base.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    Reviewers express concerns about the game's replayability, suggesting that its current state feels more like an early beta than a polished product. They believe that a more extensive testing phase with beta keys could have improved the game's quality and overall enjoyment, indicating that the current offering may not justify its price.

  • character development1 mentions

    Character development is praised for its balanced design, offering a solid representation of male and female characters without veering into extremes, effectively reflecting their personalities and roles within the game.

    • “The character design, while limited to male or female, strikes a good balance, avoiding extremes and showcasing how each character carries themselves.”
    • “The depth of character development is impressive, allowing players to form genuine connections with the characters and their journeys.”
    • “I appreciate how the characters evolve throughout the game, making their growth feel authentic and engaging.”
    • “The character development feels shallow and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the protagonists.”
    • “I found the character arcs predictable and uninspired, leaving me wanting more complexity and growth.”
    • “Despite the initial promise, the characters don't evolve in meaningful ways throughout the game.”
