Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed opinion: players praise the hard, rewarding Wizardry-style dungeon crawling and fair free-to-play path, but many reject the gacha pulls, account loss on uninstall and the kernel-level anti-cheat.

Many players enjoy the punishing dungeon crawling: permadeath, tough boss fights, flexible class builds and any character being viable with proper party composition. Story, voice acting, dark atmosphere and music are also praised, and several players say the game can be finished without spending money. Complaints centre on the gacha, with expensive pulls and rate concerns, and on the save system: uninstalling the game can erase progress unless a hidden code is saved. Many players also criticise the kernel-level anti-cheat, which stops the game running on Linux and Steam Deck, and the Tapjoy offerwall on the mobile version. Some report crashes, long loading and bugs. Recent reviews lean more negative, mostly about the anti-cheat and offerwall, while older helpful reviews focus on gameplay.

Praised

  • Hard, rewarding dungeon crawling

    Players like the punishing difficulty, permadeath risk, sudden one-shot threats and the strategic planning that tough boss fights demand.

    Many players
  • Flexible party building

    Players enjoy mixing classes into varied builds, and say that almost any character can be made useful with proper equipment and party composition.

    Many players
  • Free-to-play is workable

    Players say the story can be completed without spending, with no energy system, and that the gacha pressure is milder than in other gacha games.

    Many players
  • Story, voice acting and atmosphere

    Players praise the dark setting, the branching story, the character designs and the Japanese voice acting, along with the soundtrack.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Gacha pulls and rates

    Reviewers find pulls overpriced, and some say the banner rates and currency leave free players and spenders with little to show.

    Many players
  • Uninstalling deletes account progress

    Players say uninstalling the game loses account data unless a hidden code is saved, and that Steam does not warn about this.

    Many players
  • Kernel-level anti-cheat

    Players object to the kernel-level anti-cheat, which stops the game running on Linux and Steam Deck and is seen as unnecessary for a single-player game.

    Some players
  • Tapjoy offerwall and bugs

    Players object to the Tapjoy offers in the mobile version, citing adware risks, while others report crashes, slow loading and bugs.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy hard old-school dungeon crawlers, especially Wizardry fans, and who can tolerate gacha and grind.
Who should skip it
Players who want a single-player game without gacha, cannot accept an always-online requirement, or play on Linux or Steam Deck.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours recommend the game more often, mainly for the deep grind and build variety, while short-playtime players more often criticise the pulls, the account loss and the anti-cheat.
