The gameplay is praised for its engaging mechanics, particularly the waterbending and tentacle latch system, which enhance player interaction. However, there are notable issues, such as bugs and inconsistencies with the distance grab mechanic, that detract from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, the game offers a solid foundation for future improvements and a balanced mix of magic and weaponry.
“The waterbending feels really good to use, and the latch mechanic with the tentacles are like extensions of my reach instead of just tentacles. Air is very different to use now, but it has some of its own obvious strengths.”
“Gameplay was clearly the focus, yet despite that, the surrounding elements shine just as brightly.”
“Fun game, with great mechanics.”
“Game bugged within 15 minutes of gameplay and the fire spark just goes in random directions sometimes.”
“The entire distance grab mechanic needs a lot of work, as it's incredibly inconsistent.”
