Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reception: players praise the flexible rune-based skill system and polish, but many find the monetisation aggressive and some report bugs and login or connection problems.

Many players enjoy building their own characters: skills, runes linked by support runes, and the zodiac-style tree offer plenty of room to experiment, and seasons are often called fun rather than grindy. Players also praise the visuals, the smooth combat, the generous starting inventory and the controller support. Complaints centre on the free-to-play model: the campaign is long and some say skipping it costs money, inventory tabs and battle passes are expensive, and reaching the endgame or resetting a build often requires spending. Some reviewers find the story weak, the difficulty too low and the mid-game empty, while others report bugs, server or login failures and a missing Oceanic server. Reviews from the last year lean more negative than Steam's totals.

Praised

  • Flexible skill and rune system

    Players like building their own character from runes, skills and links, with many possible builds and room to experiment.

    Many players
  • Good graphics and smooth combat

    Reviewers often call the visuals attractive for a free game and the combat fast, fluid and satisfying, even on modest hardware.

    Many players
  • Seasons and endless content

    Players enjoy the seasonal journeys, which give rewards at the start, and the large amount of end-game content to explore.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Aggressive monetisation

    Players say paying is needed for inventory space, currency, battle passes, campaign skipping or a working build, making the game feel pay-to-win.

    Many players
  • Bugs, server and login problems

    Reviewers report crashes, stuck characters, controls that switch unexpectedly, login loops and server disconnects, some making the game unplayable.

    Many players
  • Weak story and low challenge

    Players find the story and dialogue dull and the campaign and mid-game too easy, with little sense of challenge or progression.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who like experimenting with builds in action RPGs, enjoy Diablo-style hack and slash, and are happy to play free without spending much.
Who should skip it
Should be skipped by players who expect a hard, deep challenge or who dislike paying for inventory space, currency and progression.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are split, often judging controls, bugs and first impressions harshly, while those with 20 to 200 hours more often recommend the build system and seasons.
