Ratings and reviews

Lots of great stuff here. I can play offline, any time, stop and start as needed. There is enough depth in the storyline and game play to keep me busy for a while along with options for different builds and characters. Hardcore mode adds another layer of difficulty. I'm looking forward to see what's next.

The game has potential and somehow reminds me of Grim Quest and it shares the same graphic assets as much beloved Buriedbornes 2. But the UI is very clunky. The aiming (selected enemy) randomly deselects and breaks your combo. Allowing you to put a huge number of skill is good, but the way you have to drag / swipe the skill bar is clunky and annoying! The UI windows often overlap each other and the "Support the game" button keeps blocking important texts. It breaks immersion. 3stars for now.

The game mechanics is similar to grim tides, except the UI is a bit clunky. Inventory placement and armor equipment shouldn't be separate since that isn't an intuitive separation to have. having to manually equip your items by taping the different equipment type just to put them on is mad inconvenient. Overall, my less than 10 minutes of game time has made me come to a conclusion that I shouldn't play this game at all.
