Steam reviews

What players say

Early access Morrowind-style RPG that players love for its exploration and atmosphere, though bugs, performance and navigation hold it back.

Most reviewers recommend the game and many compare it to Morrowind, praising its open exploration, lack of quest markers, quirky world, strong voice acting and soundtrack, and the freedom to build any character through skills and perks. Many players also like the co-op support and the tower in the late game. Complaints are mostly about early access roughness: many players report bugs such as broken item equipping, desync in multiplayer, unstable performance and hardware strain, and some dislike the navigation and journal, which make it hard to recall where places and quest objectives are. Some find the enemy designs repetitive and the world sparse in places. Recent reviews are more mixed than the older helpful ones, with more players saying the game feels rough or slow and mentioning a tedious main quest. Steam's totals remain very positive.

Praised

  • Morrowind-like exploration

    Players enjoy open exploration with basic directions instead of quest markers, and find the strange world rewarding to wander.

    Many players
  • Character building freedom

    Skills raise stats directly and perks guide growth, so players appreciate many viable builds and quick experimentation.

    Many players
  • Charming voice acting and music

    Reviewers praise the NPC voice acting, the quirky quests and the atmospheric soundtrack that makes the world feel distinctive.

    Many players
  • Co-op play

    Players value the built-in co-op with friends, which many see as a real strength for exploring together.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Bugs and jank

    Players report broken item equipping, clipping, unstable behaviour and stat or movement glitches typical of early access.

    Many players
  • Performance and hardware load

    Players report high system strain, low frame rates and poor optimisation, even on modest graphics that look dated.

    Many players
  • Navigation and journal

    Players find the map and quest log too vague, making it hard to remember locations, NPCs and objectives.

    Many players
  • Repetitive enemies and empty areas

    Reviewers note that many enemies are variations of the same creature type and some regions and interiors feel sparse.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who loved Morrowind or Oblivion and want exploration without quest markers, plus those who enjoy co-op with friends.
Who should skip it
Players who want a polished, stable game or dislike navigation without markers should wait for more updates.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more than 20 hours mostly raise the same bugs and navigation issues, with some finding the main quest tedious later on.
