    The game's story is straightforward, focusing on a clear objective of defeating eight knights and sealing a void, but it offers a variety of gameplay modes and customization options that enhance replayability.

Overall, the story serves as a backdrop for the engaging gameplay rather than a central focus.

    • “I just completed my first story run and had a lot of fun discovering the very unique monster designs and experiencing the story of the game.”

    • “First off, yes this is an early-access game, but it is supposedly ~85% complete with the full story mode in the game.”

    • “One thing I'd like to see improved in the graphics settings is more granularity.”
