  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay experience is mixed, with many users noting janky controls and mediocre graphics that detract from enjoyment. While some mechanics, like climbing and flying, offer engaging travel options, the overall execution feels more like a tech demo than a polished game, lacking a cohesive storyline and functional gameplay. Despite frustrations, certain players find the core mechanics of games like Runeyana engaging enough to invest significant time.

    • “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.”
    • “I've spent close to 60 hours in Runeyana thus far, and although some of the mechanics get frustrating at times, it's still a very engaging game.”
    • “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.”
  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for being underdeveloped and incoherent, resembling more of a tech demo than a fully realized narrative experience. Reviewers express a desire for a clearer storyline, a defined main character, and more engaging content, indicating that significant improvements are needed for the game to achieve a satisfactory narrative. Overall, the current state of the story leaves players feeling disconnected and unsatisfied.

    • “I hope developers continue to develop this game to make it easier to understand, given a good storyline is one of the best ways.”
    • “As far as content, there are beginning quests that lead to a chain it seems, killing a troll to loot a box, and getting the humans and others to raise their liking of you.”
    • “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, it's 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.”
    • “Far from spectacular, but I can imagine a proper game running with those assets once it receives a much-needed story.”
    • “- No story or anything coherent to do in this game.”
  • graphics
    16 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-quality free-to-play MMO titles. While some players appreciate the visuals, consistent frame rate issues and awkward 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
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from a significant number of bugs and glitches, leading to major inconsistencies that suggest it is not fully polished or finished. Users express concern that these issues may persist and affect overall gameplay 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 junk lying around.”
    • “Numerous bugs and glitches.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been criticized as boring and unengaging, contributing to an overall lackluster experience. While some reviewers found the graphics acceptable, the music did not leave a positive impression, with many feeling it detracted from the gameplay.

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

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, feeling that they were not adequately warned about the difficulty of farming against powerful enemies, which often leads to repeated deaths and setbacks.

    • “If so, they should've told me so before I started farming and ended up dying to currently unkillable creatures.”
