Steam reviews

What players say

Most reviewers recommend this slow, grindy old-school action RPG for its loot and build experimentation, despite rough translation, bugs and dated presentation.

Many players enjoy the loot-driven core: killing monsters, finding gear with random affixes, salvaging and crafting upgrades, and experimenting with builds, since skills come mostly from items rather than skill points. Several compare it to older titles such as Diablo II, Titan Quest and Legend of Mir, and say its pace suits relaxed sessions. Some players praise the inventory tools and the low price. Many complain about the slow early game, enemies that stand still, weak early skills, an incomplete English translation and bugs. Some report lost save files and enemies respawning too quickly. A few mention the lack of a clear endgame and some pressure from reviews urging buyers to avoid the game. Steam's totals are positive, and the reviews we read agree.

Praised

  • Loot and itemisation

    Random affixes and gear-based builds keep players experimenting and chasing upgrades.

    Many players
  • Old-school feel

    Players see clear echoes of Diablo II, Titan Quest and similar classic action RPGs.

    Many players
  • Relaxed grinding

    Players find the repetitive killing and looting calm and fun in short or long sessions.

    Many players
  • Low price

    Reviewers consider it good value for a cheap indie title.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Slow early game

    Combat starts slowly, early skills feel weak and progress to later levels is laborious.

    Many players
  • Incomplete translation

    The English translation is rough or unfinished, and some quest and menu text is confusing.

    Many players
  • Bugs and rough edges

    Players report bugs, a dated interface and odd animations, and some say fixes are slow.

    Many players
  • Passive enemies

    Monsters that wait to be attacked make fights feel samey, and respawns can be too fast.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy old-school loot grinders, build tinkering and relaxed solo or friends play, and who accept a rough, slow start.
Who should skip it
Players who want fast combat, polished presentation, controller support or a complete English version should skip it for now.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 20 hours tend to praise the build and gear systems more, while complaints about the slow start come mostly from players who stopped early.
