Steam reviews
What players say
Reviewers from the last year are mostly negative: they call the combat and loot promising but say the game is nearly empty, mostly locked behind paid maps, and unfinished.
Players who still like the game point to the loot-driven extraction loop, the parry-based melee and a PvE mode that lets them play without being ambushed. Many of the negative reviews focus on the same problem: the game has very few players, PvP encounters are rare, and it is hard to find matches. A common complaint is that only one map is free and the other three must be bought, which some reviewers feel makes the game feel incomplete. Others criticise clunky movement and combat, stiff characters and dialogue, weak graphics, a confusing or looping tutorial, and lag. Some reviewers also say the developers have stopped updating the game. Overall, recent reviews are more negative than Steam's totals, which still show a majority of positive reviews.
Praised
- Loot-driven extraction loop
Players enjoy gathering gear and loot across runs and the risk of losing it on death, which keeps each raid tense.
Many players - Parry-based melee combat
Reviewers who like the game praise the weighty sword fights and Sekiro-style parrying against both enemies and players.
Some players - PvE mode for solo play
The option to play against computer enemies only lets players practise and loot without being hunted, which several reviewers value.
Some players
Criticised
- Very few players, rare PvP
Reviewers say the player count has dropped sharply, so PvP matches are rare or absent and the game feels dead.
Many players - Only one free map, rest paid
Reviewers object that three of the four maps and much of the content must be bought, which they see as a barrier for free players.
Many players - Clunky movement and combat
Players describe the movement, melee and special attacks as stiff, awkward or inconsistent, which weakens the fights.
Many players - Unfinished, dated presentation
Reviewers mention weak graphics, stiff characters and dialogue, bland maps and an unclear tutorial that loops or does not explain things.
Some players
- Who it suits
- Players who want a solo or PvE extraction looter with loot and parry combat, and who do not mind a thin player base.
- Who should skip it
- Players who want active PvP and a populated server, or who are unwilling to pay for maps.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with more than 20 hours are more likely to complain about the lack of players and the paywall, while those with fewer hours focus on the combat and loot.
