The gameplay is primarily multiplayer-focused, which can be problematic due to a lack of active players, making it difficult to start matches. While some users praise the game's engaging mechanics, immersive graphics, and unique character experiences, others find the gameplay wonky and frustrating, often requiring long waits for sessions to begin. Overall, the game offers a mix of impressive visuals and mechanics but suffers from accessibility issues in its multiplayer format.
“Such amazing gameplay, realistic graphics really got me immersed.”
“No other game has the same level of engaging game mechanics, enriching story, and beautiful graphics all in one neat package.”
“The story is an enriching masterpiece, has top of the line graphics, and the gameplay is smooth, unique, and fun.”
“First, it does not really have a single-player mode; it's only multiplayer. Since there is no one on Steam playing this game, you cannot even start any of the standard gameplay modes. There is an option to vote to start, but even though you are the only one in the waiting list, you cannot start the game. Your vote is not enough.”
“The gameplay is wonky and hard to play most of the time. I had to hang around and wait for a decent chunk of time before I had any other players to get a session going.”
“Buy for gameplay = bad.”
