  • Unique historical setting centered on the Greek Revolution of 1821, rarely represented in video games.
  • Impressive level design and atmospheric scenery, including well-crafted environments like ruined churches and evocative backgrounds that capture the era's vibes.
  • Strong cultural and thematic presentation with Greek localization, soundtrack inspired by traditional tunes, and authentic lore, generating emotional engagement especially for Greek players.
  • Core gameplay mechanics such as combat, movement, and animations are rough, unpolished, and sometimes buggy, leading to frustrating player experiences.
  • The game feels incomplete in early access state with missing features like save progress, hideout functionality, and an intuitive UI, causing confusion and lack of meaningful progression.
  • Performance issues including stuttering and freezing on modern hardware, along with exploitative release timing perceived as rushing the game to coincide with a symbolic historical date.

  • gameplay

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is currently minimal and underdeveloped, with core mechanics like progression through the hideout missing or non-functional in this early access version. This leads to a confusing and frustrating experience that does not align with the advertised roguelite features, resulting in misleading expectations for players.

    • “While the game advertises roguelite mechanics, the actual gameplay loop is minimal.”
    • “The game may be in early access, but that should not be an excuse for core mechanics not to work.”
    • “As it stands, this makes progression confusing and frustrating, especially since chests are one of the few “rewards” in the gameplay loop.”
    • “The actual gameplay experience does not match what is being visually advertised, which is misleading for players trying to understand what they are buying.”

  • music

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is generally well-composed with traditional influences and a memorable intro, but many find the background tracks repetitive and monotonous over time, suggesting a need for more variety during gameplay.

    • “The intro music and the background music are based on traditional tunes, it is discreet and you end up humming it.”
    • “Music is really nice but I would like to change it during levels, because after a while it gets monotonous (it's also a comment from viewers on my livestream).”
    • “Great game, good graphics, music is okay so far (still early version); the scenery and the way they present the lore is outstanding.”
    • “Background music was too repetitive and annoying after a while.”

  • stability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from frequent stability issues, including glitches in melee combat, character getting stuck, stiff and buggy animations, and stutters or freezes during level loading. These problems occur even on high-end PCs, leading to an overall unpolished and frustrating experience.

    • “Often I encountered glitches in melee combat and frequently my character got stuck between enemies with no way to move, not even rolling worked.”
    • “I experienced stutters and freezes when approaching new parts of the level as the assets loaded in, making the whole project feel very unpolished.”
    • “The game freezes frequently, even on a top-tier PC.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics and aesthetics are generally praised for their outstanding scenery and lore presentation, creating an immersive experience. However, some elements like chest items appear AI-generated and clash with the overall art style, causing slight disconnection. Additionally, the lack of settings for sound, graphics, and controls is noted as a drawback.

    • “Great game, good graphics, music is ok so far (still early version). The scenery and the way they present the lore is outstanding.”
    • “The aesthetics of the game are amazing!”
    • “Chest items look AI generated and cause further disconnection in the already disconnected art style.”
    • “Chest items look AI-generated and cause further disconnection in the already disconnected art style.”
    • “There is no settings menu for sound, graphics, or controls.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express a strong emotional connection to the game, particularly appreciating its Greek theme centered on the 1821 Greek Revolution and the fact that it was created by Greek developers, which adds to its cultural significance and personal impact.
