  • story14 mentions

    The story has received mixed feedback, with some players appreciating its humor and masterful narration, while others find it hard to follow and lacking in depth. Although the narrative is engaging and relevant to the gameplay, some reviewers feel that it drags on and could benefit from clearer quest guidance and more variety in gameplay elements.

  • replayability4 mentions

    Overall, the game has been criticized for its lack of replayability, with players noting that the absence of diverse builds and static gear progression diminishes the incentive to revisit. Many reviewers suggest that incorporating roguelike elements or an endless dungeon mode could enhance replay value and provide a more varied experience.

    • “I think the devs should lean into the fact that your gear is constantly changing, breaking, and leveling up, and should incorporate some roguelike elements into the game to help with area variety and replayability. Rudimentary ideas could be randomizing starting rings, adding a chance to encounter stronger and faster enemies with more moves, and introducing a one-life difficulty.”
    • “I think the devs should heavily consider a roguelite or endless dungeon style mode for replayability.”
    • “I definitely plan on finishing this game, but I will likely not go back through. Builds don't really exist in this game as your build is just whatever you have that is strongest, and I can already tell that this game is not very replayable.”
    • “I think the devs should lean into the fact that your gear is constantly changing, breaking, and leveling up, and should incorporate some roguelike elements into the game to help with area variety and replayability. Rudimentary ideas could be randomizing starting rings, adding a chance to encounter stronger and faster enemies with more moves, and a one-life difficulty.”

    • “I love the dark, modern-medieval atmosphere.”
    • “The funny world, albeit the writing and humor quite swiftly wear out their welcome, mainly presented at the level of bad fart jokes, detracts from the overall atmosphere.”
    • “The whole atmosphere of the game kept me engaged for almost two hours, but it ultimately fell flat when I encountered the first boss.”
    • “While I love the dark modern-medieval atmosphere, it feels underdeveloped and lacks depth.”
