  • gameplay
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with many players enjoying the horse riding mechanics and combat, which are described as fun and innovative. However, there are concerns about the potential for motion sickness due to the horse riding locomotion, particularly the turning mechanics.

    • “The mechanics that already exist are a joy to play around with.”
    • “Great story and fun game mechanics.”
    • “Warning: has a horse riding locomotion that causes motion sickness for many players; the first run within 5 minutes of gameplay then there is more horse riding.”
    • “I strongly suggest that developers either review the mechanics as a whole or consider what they are embarking on before working on a whole project with these foundations.”
    • “Some mechanics need a lot of work.”

    • “I like the story; it has the potential to be emotional and powerful, though of course that depends on the execution throughout the entire game.”
