Steam reviews
What players say
Mixed: players like the souls-style combat and extraction loop, but server lag, desync and class balance drive many to refund or quit.
Many players praise the combat, which they describe as responsive and skill-based, and the risk-versus-reward extraction loop, with several calling it a fresh take on the genre. The atmosphere and visuals earn praise too, and the game runs smoothly for many. Criticism centres on servers: many players report lag, desync and hits that do not register in PvP, and the absence of an Oceanic server is a frequent complaint. Many also say class balance is poor, with some classes dominating and frequent patches making things worse. Others object to the monetisation, mainly cosmetic shop prices and gacha-style rewards, and to the forced trio requirement for progression. Recent reviews are more negative and focus on the server wipe and the market split, though a few say recent patches have improved stability.
Praised
- Satisfying combat

Many players - Risk-versus-reward extraction
The tension of pushing deeper for loot against extracting in time is a recurring highlight.
Some players - Gritty dark fantasy look
The atmosphere, spell effects and visual style are praised, and the game runs smoothly for many.
Some players
Criticised
- Server lag and desync
Players report lag, rubber-banding and hits that do not register, especially in PvP fights.
Many players - Poor class balance
Players say some classes dominate, others are weak, and frequent nerfs and buffs make the balance feel random.
Many players - Monetisation and gacha
Cosmetic prices, gacha-style rolls and a battle pass draw criticism as greedy for a paid game.
Some players - No Oceanic server
Players in Australia and New Zealand report unplayable ping and some lost progress after the server split.
Some players
- Who it suits
- Suits players who enjoy hard melee combat and risky extraction runs and can tolerate lag and frequent balance changes.
- Who should skip it
- Should skip it if you need stable servers, play solo or duo, or dislike gear wipes and paid cosmetic gacha.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours more often complain about server wipes, the market split and stagnant content, while newer players focus on combat and atmosphere.
