  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the controls janky and the overall experience lacking polish, while others appreciate the unique mechanics and engaging elements, particularly in titles like Runeyana. Tutorials are helpful for understanding core mechanics, but some games feel more like tech demos than fully realized experiences. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, frustrations with controls and design persist.

    • “But the tutorial teaches you the basics and allows you to experiment with the core gameplay, and right now, it feels like this game should've existed years ago to be considered good.”
    • “The climbing and flying mechanic takes a bit getting used to, but it is really quite good, and gives you great travel ability, with nothing left unsurpassable or unscalable.”
    • “Runeyana is at its core a 3D hack and slash game, but it has a few twists thrown in to up the gameplay value.”
    • “Controls and gameplay are janky.”
    • “It has some weird controls, making the gameplay not the greatest experience, and the graphics are mediocre.”
    • “Completely bizarre on every level - from the UI to the control scheme to the movement mechanics to the world design to - oh hold on, I got stuck in a mountain.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for being underdeveloped and lacking coherence, with many reviewers feeling it resembles a tech demo rather than a fully realized narrative experience. Players express a desire for a more defined main character and clearer storytelling elements, as the current content appears fragmented and insufficiently fleshed out. Overall, the narrative aspect is seen as needing significant improvement to enhance the game's overall appeal.

    • “I hope developers continue to develop this game to make it easier to understand, given a good storyline is one of the best ways.”
    • “Far from spectacular, but I can imagine a proper game running with those assets once it receives a much-needed story.”
    • “As far as content, there are beginning quests that lead to a chain it seems, killing a troll to loot a box, get the humans and others to raise their liking of you.”
    • “Honestly, they might as well just give us a main hero of the story with a set name, so that it seems like we're following the hero, not roleplay the hero with undesired stylings.”
    • “Unfinished funky UI, little explanation given for the story. It plays like what it is - an early access, but maybe too early access. It's not stable and not fleshed out enough to give you any concept of what a final version might look like, and it needs a lot of work put into it to get a positive review from me.”
    • “- no story or anything coherent to do in this game.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as mediocre to decent, with a colorful art style that shows promise, though they may not compete with higher-end free-to-play MMO titles. While some players appreciate the visuals, consistent frame rate issues and subpar controls detract from the overall experience. Overall, the graphics are considered acceptable but could benefit from further improvement.

    • “It's colorful, and even though the best graphics may not be as good as in other free-to-play MMO games, it's not that bad either.”
    • “Shows a lot of promise, and I really like the art style.”
    • “It has some weird controls making the gameplay not the greatest experience and the graphics are mediocre.”
    • “Despite the consistent frame rate issues, the game’s graphics are decent enough.”
    • “The graphics are okay and could be a decent hack and slash type game but the voices of the guides, the controls, and gameplay are kind of eh.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from numerous bugs and glitches, leading users to feel that it is unfinished and unstable, with significant inconsistencies affecting the overall experience.

    • “A host of bugs and glitches and some major inconsistencies.”
    • “The fact that I see it makes me believe the game is far from finished and will have many other bugs, glitches, and other issues lying around.”
    • “Numerous bugs and glitches.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it boring and unengaging, while others consider it merely acceptable. Additionally, there are complaints about unclear voice acting and generic character models, overshadowing the overall experience.

    • “I'm not sure how anyone can stand this game; the music is boring, the voice acting is unclear, all the models look generic, there are hitbox issues, a pass-through wall bug, and only the combat looks cool.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with grinding, feeling misled about the difficulty of farming, which can lead to encounters with overpowering enemies that result in frequent deaths.

    • “If so, they should've told me before I started farming and ended up dying to currently unkillable creatures.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
    • “I spent hours grinding for resources, only to find out they were not worth the effort.”
