    The gameplay offers an interesting and realistic crafting experience, particularly in smithing, but is hindered by a short story length, repetitive mechanics, and lack of meaningful progression rewards. Additionally, janky mechanics, rough AI voices, and bugs detract from the overall enjoyment. While the concept is promising, the gameplay requires further polish and development to fully engage players.

    • “Loved the realism of the crafting mechanics which were smooth and fun to play.”
    • “I actually like the concept of the game as well as the game mechanics.”
    • “You can level up your blacksmithing and reputation, adding depth to the gameplay.”
    • “So I know it's early access, but you get about 3 to 4 hours of gameplay before you finish the story.”
    • “It's hard to enjoy the game without any progression rewards or upgrades, even though the concept and mechanics are good.”
    • “You can level up your blacksmithing and reputation but it doesn't matter since there seems to be no crucial mechanic tied to them.”

    The story is currently short and limited, with only a few hours of gameplay before completion, mainly involving repetitive tasks and minimal smithing. Many users report numerous bugs, missing content, and progression issues that hinder the overall narrative experience. While the game shows potential, the story and related mechanics need significant improvements to feel complete and engaging.

    • “So I know it's early access and all, but you get only about 3 to 4 hours of gameplay before you finish the story.”
    • “Out of about 4 hours of playtime, only 45 minutes were actual smithing. The rest was just walking around, talking to people, and backtracking. After finishing the story, there isn't much to do besides forging and selling swords repeatedly.”
    • “There are too many problems like missing loot, and out of the 140 story missions, I could only play the first few because I couldn't enter the next area.”
