    • “Has an interesting story and a great atmosphere!”
    • “The story is engaging and keeps you wanting to move forward.”
    • “Unfortunately, the story so far has nothing to offer; it's pretty dull, and I almost wonder if it would be better for them to focus completely on grinding - you're not going to please anyone if you do both halfway.”
    • “The overall plot is contrived and not re-imagined; there's just the samey only survivor concept.”
    • “The current build only has about 4 hours of main story content, assuming you don't encounter multiple softlocks.”
  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the character design and nostalgic art style reminiscent of older RPGs, others note that the overall presentation feels rough and indicative of a small development team. Despite these criticisms, many find the visuals appealing and a highlight of the game, particularly praising the artwork and its suitability for the gameplay experience.

    • “For an early access game, this has been a favorite by far; the artwork is absolutely amazing, the best feature of the game.”
    • “The game unfortunately doesn't have voice acting and the entire game (graphics, UI, art style, level design, etc.) feels 'rough', which is usually indicative of a very small dev team, so those are two downsides.”
    • “The graphics are nostalgic for me; if you liked any of the older RPGs and JRPGs, you will find them endearing.”
    • “Fun game... just getting started, but I dislike the graphics, the storyline, the combat, and the progression.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a solid foundation of engaging mechanics, including turn-based RPG elements, a skill tree, and base-building features, reminiscent of classic titles like Final Fantasy. While the variety of mechanics is praised, many reviewers feel that they require further refinement and development. Additionally, the game offers unique timing mechanics and encourages players to craft their own narrative, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “It's a turn-based RPG with leveling, a skill tree, and a myriad of weapons/armor just like Final Fantasy, but it has base-building and base-management mechanics as well.”
    • “There are tons of different game mechanics that I absolutely love.”
    • “What stands out to me about Wheel of Fate is its novel and original gameplay mechanics.”

  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Suggestions for improvement include incorporating musical rhythm elements for enhanced engagement. Overall, the soundtrack complements the game's art direction and enhances the overall experience.

    • “The diverse character races and the unique soundtrack bring you a bit closer to complete immersion in a world apart from our own.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, exacerbated by bugs and overly large areas that hinder progress. The lack of engaging story content further diminishes the experience, leading some to suggest that a more focused approach on grinding might have been preferable.

    • “All this wouldn't be such a bad idea if the combat wasn't tedious.”
    • “But between the bugs, the overly large areas, and the tedious busy-work before the game lets you get to the good stuff, it's a miss, a big miss.”
    • “Unfortunately, the story so far has nothing to offer; it's pretty dull, and I almost wonder if it would be better for them to focus completely on grinding - you're not going to please anyone if you do both halfway.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game includes some randomization and a "fate" system intended to enhance replayability by altering dungeons and item stats based on player choices, many users feel that the current content lacks relevance due to the ability to easily outscale enemies, diminishing the value of loot and grind. Overall, the potential for replayability exists, but it may not be fully realized in its current state.

    • “The 'fate' system is supposedly a big feature of this game that adds replay value, essentially changing dungeons and item stats based on choices.”
    • “Now the game technically has some randomization for replay value, however, right now the content is not relevant because you can easily outscale all of the enemies, making the good loot and grind worthless.”
    • “(Looks like great replayability!)”
