  • gameplay
    352 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this title is a mixed bag, with some players praising its engaging combat mechanics, depth of RPG elements, and cooperative multiplayer experience, while others criticize its slow movement, repetitive enemy design, and numerous bugs. Many reviews highlight the fun and immersive swordplay, but also note that the game feels unfinished and lacks polish, leading to a frustrating experience for some. Overall, while the core mechanics show promise, the execution leaves much to be desired, particularly in terms of enemy variety and gameplay fluidity.

    • “This game is really well done: the gameplay is fun and not repetitive, thanks to the amount of weapons for each class and the enemies that become harder while you explore; the leveling system is really well done, since it allows the player to choose very different paths and play in very unique ways; the quest system is also interesting and rewarding.”
    • “The combat mechanics make the swordplay so much more engaging than other VR titles, and the magic is just as fun to use.”
    • “This game honestly defines VR gameplay fully streamlined for its intended platform; the mechanics and physics are top-tier, the gameplay is actually challenging and fun with the way it has you focus on fighting and learning the enemies' combos as well as a variety of weapons, classes, and ways to play.”
    • “Boring, boring, boring gameplay, chopping your way through the same couple of enemies to get mountains of garbage loot in a game darker than a coal mine with less textures than an N64 game.”
    • “Incredibly disappointing the direction this game went in; in early access it was a fun, procedurally generated dungeon crawler, but they completely demolished the base they had for gameplay and made the game $60, not worth it in the slightest.”
    • “The gameplay is clunky and very slow.”
  • story
    169 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally perceived as weak and lacking depth, with many players noting that it feels aimless and unengaging. While there are quests and a main storyline, they often come across as basic and poorly integrated, leading to a sense of wandering without clear direction. Some players appreciate the addition of a narrative and quests in recent updates, but overall, the storytelling is considered a significant area for improvement.

    • “Now that 1.0 is out, we came back and love the story and what they have changed.”
    • “I have recently completed the 1.0 release story and what an amazing ride.”
    • “Epic story line, plenty of fun quests, and loot.”
    • “Not story wise, as there really isn't a story, but literally.”
    • “The side quests and story feel very useless and give no clear indication on where to go, so it always feels like there is no story, instead you are just wandering and finding things.”
    • “There isn’t really a story and nobody talks to you so it’s just kind of a dead ash world that you’re not sure what the point is of going through it.”

    • “The graphics are stunning, even when playing on lower graphics settings.”

    • “The graphics are unbelievably bad; every single room is literally a flat square with 90-degree angles and no decorations or lighting.”
    • “This game is horrible and not as expected; the graphics were bad, very blurry, and just overall not good, especially since it was $30.”
    • “Graphics are really bad and really blurry; I don't know how to describe this, I'm on a Quest 2 with a link cable.”
  • music
    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its strong resemblance to classic titles like Diablo, particularly in the town themes which evoke nostalgia. While some find the soundtrack captivating and atmospheric, enhancing the overall experience, others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking variety, especially in dungeon settings.

    • “The music is captivating and reminds me a bit of Mega Man Legends and Diablo 2 soundtracks.”
    • “The new soundtrack is great and really adds to the experience.”
    • “The loot mechanics, the environments, and the enemies all scream Diablo, right down to the music in town being extremely reminiscent of Tristram's signature music.”
    • “Not to mention, there's hardly a soundtrack; the village music instrumental can be repetitive.”
    • “The music is quite repetitive too.”
    • “If you've played Diablo, this is literally Diablo in VR; even the town music resembles Diablo, so much so I wonder how they legally got away with it.”

    • “Runs great, looks okay, with giant hub worlds to explore and a good fighting system.”
    • “It's not too buggy either; it just desperately needs more content and quality of life improvements.”
    • “I use Oculus Quest 2 through Virtual Desktop, and so far, there is no lag whatsoever; it runs great.”

    • “It's a buggy mess, the UI is amateur and extremely counterintuitive and hard to use.”
    • “There are a ton of glitches, enough to ruin my gameplay and the lack of enemies is the real sticking point for me.”
  • grinding
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be quite tedious and repetitive, with many noting that enemy encounters and leveling up can feel excessively drawn out.

    • “Grinding in this game is satisfying and feels purposeful, making every effort worthwhile.”
    • “The progression system encourages grinding, but it’s designed in a way that keeps you engaged and motivated.”
    • “There is no easy way to respawn enemies, which makes grinding, especially in co-op, tedious unless you can push through the game. You will need to farm levels to fight some bosses.”
    • “The game gets incredibly tedious very quickly, with practically all enemies taking quite some time to kill while also not offering any real challenge. Boss enemies aren't much better, with the only challenge they offer being the massive amount of health they have.”

    • “I had some serious performance issues starting out.”
    • “Good god this game is poorly optimized, don't bother adding more stuff if it runs at 40fps constantly.”
    • “This is a game that doesn't run well on lower end hardware, and the more they add to it, the less optimization seems to be a goal.”
  • replayability
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is highly praised due to its diverse character builds, random dungeon generation, and various play styles, allowing players to experience the game in multiple ways.

    • “But little replayability.”
  • atmosphere
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is a significant highlight, drawing strong comparisons to the dark, immersive environments of classic titles like Diablo.

    • “The atmosphere is creepy enough to be unsettling, but intriguing enough to make you want to push further.”
    • “The game nails the atmosphere pretty well.”
    • “The first is a goblin who, in my opinion, looks like Shrek and does not fit the dark atmosphere of the game at all. Our characters are fortunately not visible when playing solo, but I think they are too colorful and I would prefer them to look like a blacksmith, for example.”
    • “I understand the limitations of VR, but why bother having a dimly lit game that's meant to draw from the atmosphere of Diablo, in VR, if you're not going to have interactive light sources that can illuminate the dark passages?”
    • “I do, however, wish this level of polish went into the overall atmosphere of the game.”
  • humor
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is frequently highlighted as a standout feature, with players enjoying the comedic elements of gameplay, such as funny character interactions, absurd combat mechanics, and amusing glitches.

Overall, the game's humor is a significant draw, making it a fun choice for those seeking laughter alongside gameplay.

    • “Secondly, the fight mechanics and dungeon crawling is fun with friends, and the shenanigans you can get up to is downright hilarious.”
    • “Goblins are funny, they run away and often slam into walls comically.”
  • emotional
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a mix of frustration and intensity regarding the emotional experience in the game. While the combat is described as hard-fought and impactful, the lack of responsive controls and the clunky mechanics detract from the overall immersion, leading to moments of annoyance that overshadow the emotional engagement.

    • “It's hard-going, hard-won combat that no VR game I've played has made me feel before.”
  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is generally viewed positively, with users appreciating the absence of pay-to-win mechanics and microtransactions.

Overall, players commend the developer for prioritizing quality and player experience over profit.

    • “No pay-to-win, no microtransactions, just a solid, very enjoyable VR RPG.”
    • “I'd buy this game five times over just to support this developer since they genuinely care for their creation and aren't trying to squeeze every last penny out of you with microtransactions.”
    • “As for the price, $55 is really not a lot for a handmade, feature-complete RPG that will last you many tens of hours; especially in an age where huge companies that don't need the money will demand $80-$90 and still fill the game's store with microtransactions.”
    • “It's a cash grab.”
    • “Another VR cash grab?”
    • “As for the price, $55 is really not a lot for a handmade, feature-complete RPG that will last you many tens of hours; especially in the age where huge companies that don't need the money will demand $80-$90 and still fill the game's store with microtransactions.”
