The story aspect of the game is hindered by frustrating NPC interactions, as players must navigate steep slopes to engage with quest givers, leading to issues like quests failing immediately after dialogue. Despite these challenges, the game features procedurally generated worlds and quests reminiscent of Cube World, along with a rich skill tree system, which has captivated players in its early access phase. Overall, while the narrative experience has its flaws, the engaging gameplay and active developer support keep players invested.
- “A good RPG with a Cube World alpha vibe (procedurally generated worlds and quests), nice OST, beautiful graphics, and an active developer who cares about the community.”
- “Of course, the game is early access and just a few days released, but the Cube World-like procedurally generated worlds and quests, along with a little bit more feature-rich skill trees, got me immediately hooked again and I instantly played a few hours and tried out all the classes.”
- “NPCs move up 90-degree slopes on mountains near the village, and if you want to get or turn in a quest with one of them, you'll also have to jump your way up the ridiculously steep slope to get close enough to hit the 'E' key.”
- “This wouldn't be a problem if so many of the quest NPCs were not 20 feet above you on a super steep slope, as mentioned above.”
- “The first NPC I approached gave me a quest to find a cottage, and it failed immediately after the dialogue ended.”

- “This game, while seemingly an extremely ambitious title for this developer's first release on Steam, is nothing but a huge buggy mess of assets.”

- “Again, it's a respectable and very ambitious game, but it's just way too buggy and messy to call it a 'fun' or complete game ready for a $10 asking price.”
