story3 negative mentions
  • Unique and ambitious fusion of Terraria-style sandbox with Diablo-like ARPG mechanics, offering deep RPG elements, extensive class variety, and complex skill systems.
  • Dynamic living world with procedural generation, nemesis system, evolving quests, and meaningful player choices that impact gameplay, creating high replayability.
  • Active developer support with frequent updates and community engagement, delivering an addictive experience with strong crafting, base building, and multiplayer features.
  • Gameplay can feel slow and tedious due to excessive mining and limited enemy encounters in underground areas, impacting pacing compared to previous Soldak titles.
  • Some clunky or awkward combat mechanics and AI limitations enable cheesing tactics and reduce challenge, with enemies struggling with vertical movement and pathfinding.
  • Graphics and UI are dated and repetitive, reusing assets and sounds from older games, which may detract from immersion though appreciated by longtime fanbase.

  • gameplay

    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 63% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a rich and addictive blend of genres, combining ARPG, Terraria-style exploration, base-building, and survival mechanics with dynamic world events and deep RPG elements. It leverages familiar Soldak mechanics like diplomacy and nemesis opponents while innovating with persistent towns, varied class combinations, and emergent storytelling, resulting in a complex, engaging experience that rewards long-term play despite its old-school graphics.

    • “In classic Soldak fashion, you're given a fantastic hot soup of delicious gameplay elements, carefully intertwined to create the most marvelous sandbox your eyes could feast upon set in a medieval fantasy theme.”
    • “Insane mash-up of Terraria (side-scrolling, digging exploration, etc.), Diablo 2 (classes, skills, massive amounts of randomized loot), 7 Days to Die (terraforming, base defense, frantic horde battles), and RimWorld (town/population construction/management) where monsters also fight each other, there are dynamic world events, fluid and gas dynamics, factions, and a ridiculous number of possible class combinations, among the many other mechanics I probably haven't even discovered yet.”
    • “It's a ARPG/Terraria hybrid with some very cool mechanics, with temporary worlds but persistent towns (which you create! they carry over each playthrough!), as well as NPCs you find to recruit, leveling them and equipping them with the items you find or craft.”
    • “Because a core part of previous games was completing a map, then starting a new map with roughly the same objective (in Din's Champion, killing a new arch-nemesis), in this game, because base building is so central to the concept of the Terraria-like gameplay, you actually take your town with you to new maps, even if you've lost the game in that area.”
    • “Many of the mechanics of the Diablo-like isometric action roguelite game (including most classes and stats and general mechanics for determining damage) are the same, but this game simply does not play like a mostly-open field or a labyrinthine dungeon.”
    • “It’s definitely an indie game but has solid mechanics that kept me addicted for hundreds of hours.”

  • graphics

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature an intentionally old-school, cohesive art style that some may find dated or "meh," but it complements the overall design and indie charm. While not visually cutting-edge, mods and enhancements can improve the experience, and the gameplay depth and mechanics are the primary draw.

    • “This is such a gorgeous game, thank you so much for keeping the original art style!”
    • “We have more old school style visuals than usual, and all of the game's design choices are incredibly cohesive with one another - the sfx, the music, vfx, all of the visuals.”
    • “To give a brief but accurate description of what this game is: Terraria roguelike RPG with HD graphics sprinkled with the unique Soldak sauce.”
    • “Edit: graphics are meh but mods would easily fix this. Reshade using OpenGL works amazing with this game; FakeHDR and Clarity help greatly.”
    • “- Graphics are 'meh' if that's something you care about.”
    • “Some visuals and UI are a bit dated but once you 'get' it, you can have a lot of fun at exactly the challenge level you like.”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story in this game is largely driven by procedurally generated, time-sensitive quests that create a constant sense of pressure and urgency. Instead of a traditional narrative, the experience focuses on managing overlapping events and challenges, with no consistent lore or story arc, resulting in a unique playthrough each time. This approach emphasizes gameplay tension over a structured storyline.

    • “It’s that slog that builds steam until I'm checking off quests until I defeat that nemesis.”
    • “This can mean they can team up with other clans and cause mini-bosses to start popping up, they can curse or poison your town causing a quest to get rid of it, or send waves of enemies to your town and kill your NPCs if you’re not properly fortified.”
    • “Quest after quest pile up, usually at the same time, with all of them having some degree of time sensitivity.”
    • “Especially when quests can be caused by immobile devices like a zombie-horde-calling noise machine buried in a tiny pocket, it can take a lot of time to just find some objectives, and the clock is always ticking down to another event.”
    • “I usually don't recommend EA games but given this game is about 99% random/procedural in nature, no play-through will be alike and you won't be spoiling yourself with story or lore or anything like that.”

  • optimization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    Optimization is currently a work in progress, with some users experiencing performance issues even on high-end hardware. However, significant improvements have been made in recent updates, and further enhancements are expected as the game is still in alpha.

    • “I have some performance issues as well on a RTX 3080 / 5900X setup (performance significantly improved with the 8.05 update).”
    • “Performance leaves some to be desired, but the game is still in alpha so I'm sure performance will improve.”
    • “Still a little rough around the edges, and performance could be a lot better, but currently love the builds, theory crafting, and questing.”
    • “I have some performance issues as well on an RTX 3080 / 5900X setup (edit: performance significantly improved with the 8.05 update).”

  • grinding
