story3 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • The prologue and story show promise and have an interesting Roman and Greek-inspired theme.
  • Visuals have some appealing aspects like immersive environments and hand-sketched animated cutscenes.
  • Performance is stable without crashing, and the game runs reasonably well even on lower-end hardware like the Steam Deck.
  • The game is extremely early in development, feeling more like a tech demo with many unpolished elements such as clunky combat, poor controls, and unfinished UI.
  • Numerous bugs and issues disrupt gameplay, including problems with stamina, locked progress after boss fights, and inconsistent camera behaviour.
  • Settings often don't save, audio controls are broken, and the world feels empty and lacks engaging content beyond the prologue.

    The gameplay is widely criticized for being poorly developed and unrefined, with concerns that it is prematurely showcased. Reviewers suggest the developers should prioritize improving core gameplay mechanics and details before expanding the game further. Additionally, the disparity between in-game visuals and cutscenes detracts from the overall experience.

    • “I really hope the devs focus on ironing out gameplay rather than expanding the game too far too fast; details matter.”
    • “The gameplay is so bad it wouldn't even be worthy of a demo at this point.”
    • “I feel like it's far too early to announce an MMO or provide any gameplay for it.”
    • “In fact, everything is shown to be outside, where the actual, current gameplay is all underground.”

  • story

    The story is currently somewhat bland and basic, with an interesting prologue and a simple lore setup involving Klor. While the narrative shows potential, players hope for a more complex and developed story in future updates.

    • “Prologue story was interesting; the game is very janky but you'd expect that from such an early alpha, seems to be using the combat fury asset pack for combat which has potential. I look forward to updates!”
    • “The current piece of the lore is nice, but I would love to see a more complex story.”
    • “Story kind of bland but it has a story of some sort with Klor.”
    • “Story is kind of bland but it has a story of some sort with Klor.”

    The graphics start off unimpressively but improve significantly during the main game, offering an immersive environment despite some lack of polish. While not a major highlight, the visuals are generally acceptable for an early access title.

    • “The main game looks great, although the beginning graphics are a joke.”
    • “I like the prologue graphics and the immersive environment, even though it's not the most polished sequence for an early access game.”
    • “In-game graphics look alright, though I'm not a big graphics guy.”

    The game is well-optimized, delivering smooth performance without stuttering, crashing, or noticeable frame rate drops. Users reported stable FPS and a seamless experience without choppiness.

    • “No stuttering or crashing, FPS seemed fine, I didn't notice any lag and the gameplay wasn't choppy.”

    The music is generated by AI, offering a unique and innovative sound that enhances the game's atmosphere. Users appreciate the novelty, though some may find it less emotionally engaging compared to traditional soundtracks. Overall, the AI music adds a fresh and futuristic element to the experience.
