    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are described as nostalgic and reminiscent of older MMORPGs, particularly evoking the classic 2D style of games like Tibia.

    • “Immersive story, memorable characters, classic graphics, and solid gameplay.”
    • “This game appears to have been around for a while, which would explain the outdated controls and graphics.”

  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks any music or sound, which detracts from the overall experience, despite its appealing pixelated art style. Reviewers noted the repetitive use of sprites and textures across the map, contributing to a visually monotonous environment.

    • “No music!”
    • “The game has very nice pixelated art for sure, but there is no music or any sound playing in the game. The sprites and textures are reused excessively throughout the entire map. I don't know if there are any other 'biomes', but so far I've seen the same grass, trees, caves, and stone walls everywhere, making it visually boring.”
