I can't see the analog and attack buttons, even after deleting the character and starting from the beginning again; the buttons are still invisible.”

  • story16 mentions

    The game's story is generally praised for its immersive quality and engaging concepts, with many players appreciating the graphics and character development. However, issues such as poor optimization, lag, and unresponsive controls hinder the overall experience, making it difficult for some players to fully enjoy the narrative. While the story has potential, its delivery is often criticized for being incoherent and overshadowed by gameplay frustrations.

    • “The story is good, the graphics are great.”
    • “Game is going great, amazing graphics, intense gameplay, great story (also watch the show).”
    • “The story isn't being conveyed properly and coherently, and what makes it worse for me is the game itself is very laggy. Combined with the rough control (delay and unresponsive), it makes combat very frustrating.”
    • “Probably autoplay with no customization and a story as bland as bread to boot anyway.”
    • “However, the game crashes all the time after finishing the stage or doing a 'train' for some reason. It may feel like a Souls-like game but lacks something; the repetitive quests and stages are the norm, yet it still has little twists to offer.”
  • stability7 mentions

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting significant issues such as overheating, inconsistent gameplay mechanics, frequent glitches, and lag, even on medium graphics settings. Many players experience problems like character T-posing during practice and difficulties with logging in, contributing to an overall perception of the game as a "buggy mess."

    • “The game heats up too much; the gameplay should be great, but it isn't: dodge and parry are inconsistent, the general shop glitches, and while the in-game environment is pretty nice, it's kind of laggy to move around. I even had my settings set to medium graphics, but it still isn't much of a change.”
    • “There's just a lot of glitches.”
    • “The game is buggy and lags a lot.”

    • “More accessible and fair monetization methods could make the game more attractive to a wider audience.”
    • “I would also like to see other languages added, for example, Ukrainian!”
    • “The problem with in-game donations is that game progress and achievements rely too heavily on in-app purchases.”
    • “Fake advertising; it's not even a soul-like game. It's just a traditional RPG with different stages and fixed monster spawns.”
