Fun and addictive gameplay, especially enjoyable with friends in 4-player co-op.
Active development and communication from the solo developer showing promise and regular updates.
Solid foundation with simple, straightforward combat and crafting systems; low system requirements allow play on modest PCs.

Lacks content variety and depth; gameplay is repetitive with grind-heavy quests and minimal endgame features.
Poor multiplayer implementation with lack of in-game communication tools and very low active player base.
Technical issues including poor optimization, clunky combat mechanics, limited character customization, and dated graphics.

The game's story is minimal and consists mostly of repetitive kill-x-mobs quests with little to no narrative depth or quest variety. Players find the quest system simplistic and grind-heavy, lacking dynamic storylines or engaging lore, which limits long-term interest. While the crafting system shows promise, the overall story and quest design feel underdeveloped, especially for an early access title.
- “The quests currently available are fairly basic and have an old-school feel, but the crafting system seems to be extremely detailed and is intended to be the core of the game.”
- “Doing the main story quest (which are the only quests in the game at the moment) will take you around 6-7 hours.”
- “If there was way more quest variety, and NPCs that talked about world lore, it might stand a chance.”
- “There's no story, just a line of 'kill 20 of x' quests.”
- “The quest system: get 1 quest at a time, kill x mobs, turn in the quest, then get the next 'kill x mobs' quest.”
- “I realise this is early access; however, the game is currently in a state where you log in, create your character, get a quest to kill some wolves, move to the next zone, kill the wolves, go back for a new quest to kill 10 wolves of a more upgraded kind... and that's when I thought, no thanks.”

The gameplay is generally described as repetitive, with limited content, simplistic combat mechanics, and a clunky, unpaced experience. While some appreciate features like dodging and straightforward mechanics, many find the combat stale and lacking depth, with insufficient enemy variety and unsatisfying progression. Despite these issues, the game shows potential, especially in multiplayer, but requires significant improvements to its gameplay systems and content.
- “One thing in particular that I have enjoyed is that the dodging mechanic allows you to avoid pretty much all enemy damage with good timing while feeling appropriately punishing if you miss a dodge while fighting enemies higher level than you.”
- “The gameplay is solid and extremely enjoyable, especially with friends.”
- “Music is awesome, gameplay is smooth, still a beta so it still needs some work to do, but it's going on the good way!”
- “This review is intended to be informational, but since Steam forces a rating, choosing not recommended on the basis of low playerbase, repetitive gameplay, and a frustrating player experience.”
- “Some attack faster, some slower, but for gameplay purposes, they're the same enemy reskinned dozens of times.”
- “You just run around slashing at NPCs, there's no combo mechanics to the game making combat very stale and slow.”

The graphics receive mixed feedback, ranging from praise for their stylized and pleasant visuals to criticism for being outdated, blocky, and poorly optimized, causing low frame rates and glitches. While some appreciate the unique art style and simplicity, others find the visuals subpar compared to older or similar genre games. Overall, the graphics have potential but need improvements in optimization, detail, and polish.
- “The graphics are decent, and the character animations are pleasing to the eye.”
- “Stylized graphics are a great starting point, not pushing realism like other games, and making your own look, which has better longevity.”
- “The game is pretty nice, graphics are pretty and the mechanics are simple enough to get into :)”
- “Graphics are terrible, it looks worse than some 20+ years old games I own.”
- “Awful optimization: even with minimum graphic settings the fps is still below 10.”
- “I wanted to play it and vote positive for the meme, but considering it runs at 12 fps even though it has iPod Touch tier graphics, I will have to not recommend it.”
grinding

Grinding is a core, unavoidable aspect of the game, with players needing to invest significant time in repetitive tasks to level up and acquire better gear, especially after level 30. While some appreciate the straightforward, chill nature of the grind and the crafting elements, many find it tedious due to slow experience gains, lack of engaging content, and minimal story. Overall, grinding can quickly become repetitive and steep, though it serves as a solid foundation for future development.
- “If you saw this on worst MMO series and decided to try it, be warned that it has become extremely different and grindy.”
- “There’s no story or story quests, it’s all just grinding out grind quests, no thanks.”
- “Mobs give very little XP, so after you finish the questline you’re in for a ton of grinding.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its catchy, nostalgic, and well-crafted soundtrack, often described as legendary and emotionally engaging. While most find the soundtrack fun and immersive, a few users note the repetitive nature can become annoying without an option to mute it in-game. Overall, the music positively enhances the gaming experience and is considered a standout feature.
- “The character models and animations have a fun jaunty style and the music is legendary.”
- “The soundtrack is also phenomenal, never before have I felt such emotions from a soundtrack alone.”
- “The medieval music is also very very good, the game kind of makes me feel nostalgic weirdly enough.”
- “Played the game for a bit, the music got annoying by like wave 10 with no way in-game to turn it off.”
- “Try the game out if you want some hours to kill, and do crank up some music in the background.”

The game suffers from poor optimization, with many users experiencing extremely low FPS even on minimum settings and decent hardware. While some report acceptable performance, the overall consensus points to significant performance issues affecting gameplay experience.
- “Awful optimization: even with minimum graphic settings the FPS still drops below 10.”
- “Don't know if my PC is weak or it's not properly optimized, but I have an i5 and 8 GB of RAM and the game runs pretty damn bad, not reaching 10 FPS with everything on low and the lowest resolution.”
- “Performance is pretty bad (for me at least), but it's fun to just turn your mind off and play.”
