Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend it as a free, fun, Realm of the Mad God-style game with a friendly community, though content depth and loot rates draw criticism.

Many players enjoy the fast, addictive gameplay loop, the pixel visuals and the friendly community, and several say it improves on Realm of the Mad God, especially in movement and progression speed. It is free to play, and players value that nothing is pay to win. Some players find the game very playable with friends. Complaints centre on thin content and weapon variety, low drop rates for mythic items, and bosses that are too easy to solo once characters are maxed. Some players report disconnects and connection problems, and others criticise the poor new-player guidance and a lack of quality-of-life features such as parties and better inventory management. Some reviewers describe moderation problems in the community. Reviews from the last year lean more negative than Steam's totals suggest, mostly over the same issues rather than new ones.

Praised

  • Fun, addictive gameplay

    Players enjoy the fast, rogue-like loop of fighting, looting and returning to the realm.

    Many players
  • Friendly community

    Players praise helpful, friendly players who support each other in a small MMO.

    Many players
  • Free and not pay to win

    Players value free-to-play access and cosmetic-only monetisation that does not give paying players power.

    Some players
  • Better than Realm of the Mad God

    Players who know Realm of the Mad God say this version has better movement, progression and polish.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Thin content and few weapons

    Players say content is limited and weapon variety and abilities feel underdeveloped.

    Many players
  • Low mythic drop rates

    Players say mythic and rare items drop too rarely, and some want bosses to reward more.

    Many players
  • Bosses too easy to solo

    Players say strong characters can defeat end-game bosses alone with little reward, which undermines group play.

    Some players
  • Connection and disconnect problems

    Players report constant disconnects, failing to connect to servers or sudden drops to the menu.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy Realm of the Mad God-style roguelike MMOs and want a free game to play alone or with friends.
Who should skip it
Players who want deep content, strong endgame rewards, or a stable experience without connection problems should look elsewhere.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are split and often mention new-player confusion, while those with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it and focus on loot rates and content depth.
