  • Game offers a fun multiplayer experience with features like party play, dungeons, bosses, and a supportive community.
  • The game is very buggy and unstable with ongoing issues such as lag, crashes, disconnections, and occasional missing models.

    The game features a charming, well-animated low-resolution art style reminiscent of classic RPGs, which fans of retro visuals will appreciate. Though rough around the edges due to its early access state, the graphics form a solid foundation supported by an active developer. Some technical issues, like VRAM errors, have been reported but do not overshadow the overall positive visual appeal.

    • “Art style is great, and the developer is active and reachable.”
    • “If you're a fan of old graphics RPG/MMORPG games, you will love it; just take the time to grind.”
    • “The game has solid bones, and I'm actually in love with the art style. It's definitely rough around the edges since it's early access, but it's in a good enough state to play and test. With how active the developer is, I imagine it can keep going strong.”
    • “Visuals are low-resolution and low fidelity, but really well-animated.”
    • “The game throws an error saying it requires more VRAM than is available, even though I've played significantly more graphically intense games with multiple other applications running in the background.”
    • “The art style is in loveable rough shape, definitely rough around the edges; it feels like early access and might need more stability in a few months.”

  • gameplay

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The gameplay is enjoyable, straightforward, and easy to pick up, featuring basic actions like NPC interactions, combat, and gathering. The solo developer is highly active, continually refining mechanics, fixing bugs, and incorporating community feedback to enhance the experience.

    • “Very fun gameplay and devs are super active!”
    • “Gameplay: actions (NPC interactions, combat, gathering...) are straightforward and easy to pick up.”
    • “The solo dev is working every day to tweak, fix bugs, add more gameplay, and listen to the community's suggestions.”
    • “I could have forgiven most of this if they didn't rugpull mechanics away from me.”
    • “Actions (NPC interactions, combat, gathering...) are cut-and-dry and it's easy to pick up.”

  • story

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story incorporates diverse elements such as party dynamics, loot with varying rarities, different class gear, and quests. Players appreciate the ability to replay certain quests repeatedly for grinding, adding to the game's longevity.

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, lagging around 30 FPS, and prolonged loading problems causing missing models. Players experience disconnects, especially during certain dungeons, resulting in a frustrating and unstable gameplay experience.

    • “It's cool I got to level 10, became a cleric, got some wings, but it's too buggy and laggy for no reason. It runs at about 30 FPS unless you just opened the game. Also, my equipped items and NPCs in the world struggle to load if I'm playing for too long, making me look naked and causing NPCs to miss models. The skeleton dungeon was buggy and would make me disconnect; I had to keep trying until I finally succeeded. When I died or left, I just got disconnected and had to reconnect—very, very buggy.”
    • “A bit buggy because I soloed a dungeon that I shouldn't be able to.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game begins very easily and is less tedious than in many similar titles, though it can still feel somewhat repetitive at times.

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music is catchy and simple, but some users feel it somewhat clashes with the game's visual style.
