Steam reviews

What players say

Players who recommend it praise its looks, co-op fun and tactile combat, but many recent reviewers find melee and archery unsatisfying and it is no longer updated.

Many players praise the visuals, the atmosphere and the hand-crafted dungeons, and most say the game is best played in co-op with friends. Players who enjoy it describe bow and sword combat as fun and the progression through upgraded weapons as rewarding. Reviews from the last year lean much more negative than Steam's totals. Many of them say melee hits and blocking feel unresponsive, that enemies are bullet-sponges or ambush from behind, and that archery is frustrating because headshots are hard to land. Some players report motion sickness, a lack of comfort and height settings, and control glitches. A few complain about the missing mute option for voice chat and about the developers no longer updating the game. Players with long playtimes mostly still like the game, but they point to repetitive late-game fights.

Praised

  • Visuals and atmosphere

    Players describe the graphics, environments and sound as beautiful and immersive, with the dungeons making them feel inside a fantasy world.

    Many players
  • Co-op play

    Players say the game is best with friends, with working multiplayer, shared puzzles and teamwork in fights.

    Many players
  • Upgradeable gear and loot

    Players enjoy finding loot, upgrading weapons and armour, and carrying items between runs, which makes progress feel meaningful.

    Some players
  • Fun melee and archery

    Players find the sword fights responsive and the bow arcing and satisfying to use.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Clunky melee and blocking

    Players say sword hits, blocking and hitboxes feel unresponsive, and fights become a tiring arm workout rather than satisfying combat.

    Many players
  • Hard archery and headshots

    Several archers say enemies dodge at the last second, headshots are nearly impossible and bow drawing is tiring.

    Many players
  • Repetitive, spongy enemies

    Players say enemies take too many hits, spawn from behind or appear in endless waves, making later dungeons repetitive.

    Some players
  • Motion sickness and comfort settings

    Players say comfort and anti-vertigo options are hidden or missing, so they struggle or quit early.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits VR players who want a co-op dungeon crawler with friends and do not mind simple, clunky combat.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want responsive melee or precise archery, or if you play solo and dislike spongy enemies.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with long playtimes still praise the game but point more to repetitive late-game fights, while newer players mostly praise the atmosphere.
