    • “I find this game very endearing, and the gameplay loop is fun and satisfying.”
    • “An absolute blast, especially with friends, with fun yet simple mechanics and surprisingly good monk customization.”
    • “The overall idea of the gameplay loop is solid, but it's being held back by a few incomplete areas.”

  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting significant bugs and issues that hinder gameplay, such as a problematic settings menu and performance problems on certain hardware configurations. Many players express frustration over the game's instability, suggesting that it detracts from the overall experience and recommending that developers prioritize fixing existing bugs over releasing new content.

    • “After 3 weeks of troubleshooting, I found that the issue was either my RAM couldn't run at the full 3200MHz (I underclocked it to 3000MHz; I have 128GB of RAM - it appears AMD Threadrippers (2nd gen) don't like that), or I needed another rail connected to my graphics card (a 2080 Ti).”
    • “The settings menu is buggy and some settings cannot be altered.”
    • “Great game, but unfortunately I cannot recommend it until the dev stops focusing on releasing new buggy content and addresses several significant bugs on existing content that are affecting me and my friends' enjoyment.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as a blend of silliness and depth, with players uncovering a narrative beneath the surface while engaging in gameplay mechanics. Although the story is minimal, it evolves and becomes more serious as players progress, leaving them eager for future content and developments. Overall, the narrative adds an enjoyable layer to the experience, enhancing the fun of the gameplay.

    • “Trying to optimize how we did things to push a little further to uncover the story.”
    • “I enjoyed what's happening with what little 'story' they have so far and can't wait to see what else is added, whether it's food or more kaiju to feed.”
    • “Even stuff as simple as making sure to grab a weapon from the blacksmith became needless walking back to the same characters every time we failed.”
    • “It's silly and fun, and the more I played, the more I started to see there is a story under all of it.”
    • “Also, the story started to get a little serious between the nonsensical timed runs.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their aesthetic, featuring low-poly, low-resolution character models reminiscent of classic games like "Black and White."

    • “The aesthetic is great - the low-poly, low-resolution character models hearken back to games like Black and White, and I adore that.”
    • “After 3 weeks of troubleshooting, I found that the issue was either my RAM couldn't run at the full 3200MHz (I underclocked it to 3000MHz; I have 128GB of RAM - it appears AMD Threadrippers (2nd gen) don't like that), or I needed another rail connected to my graphics card (a 2080 Ti).”
