Ratings and reviews

What a great game, at least until the ending. I feel like I was being built up to a great fight and an understanding if why the main character was important, but nope. EDIT: went back and tried to fully explore more, in the end its not a bad idea on how the story unfolds but it can leave people like me a bit underwhelmed. Game really needs a HUD fix for when you pick up items. Doesn't tell you what it is.

Lots of potential, but feels like a very stylized beta version. Had to refund due to there being too many bugs(such as purchasing items from trader only to find out the inventory button is only for relics) no options to customize HUD which should be standard in this type of game. The buttons are too small and too close, and in a strange order. The visuals are amazing, but for a PAID game it falls short.

Fun game so far. My last save file has an issue. When I load the save I'm invisible and can't move from the coliseum. Weapons make the sound and ammo drops when I use arrows or bombs but nothing on the screen. Can you fix this I have 96% percent of the map revealed. Don't want to start over.
