Ratings and reviews

It plays well and feels like an old school RPG, similar to Diablo. However, it is absolutely plagued with micro-transaction opportunities and incentives, which dims the shine this game would otherwise have. The game tries hard to make you spend money, which is a huge turn off, especially for an offline single player RPG!

it's a pretty good game it's been a long time since I've found an RPG this interesting but the reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because of the combat mechanics they have a lot of room for improvement for example when attacking an enemy the direction of attack is not fixed (i mean something like shift lock) and i think the character should be invulnerable while using certain skills (physical attacks) like whirlwind and also I dont know when the enemy is attacking. thank you

I highly recommend this game, I was skeptical at first, but then I played it and realised it's not another cheap top down dungeon crawler, it a well developed really fun game, with good combat and good controlls. and there's no ads, so there's lik no reason not to play it. It's definitely one of the top 2026 games so far!
