“I hate comparisons but if you like Kenshi and can put up with bugs and some jank..then you will like AOR. The grind and early game is punishing but rewarding and before you know it those broken bones and bandit hunting…”
“It has been a long time since i have so much fun with a game. Yes, it has minor bugs, but damn its good, its as if Kenshi and Age of Decadence had a child, and wartales is the uncle. Loved it so far, Keep going guys!”
“This game had me absolutely hooked for some time. It feels like Kenshi meets a more traditional style cRPG with a load of jank. No base building, but lots of other things to do. Cons: Janky, occasionally buggy (don't…”

“First I'd like to say that this game is not as hard as people say. AoR:TF is easy or super hard and it is all about player choice before the game ever starts. There are a bunch of typos, and a few bugs, but nothing game…”
“Big oof starting out with this game, unsure if I was going to refund it. Giving it some time I got past the very high difficulty and jank, and so far I'm liking it more the longer I play. It was a little like playing…”

“Stumbled across this game, really like it a sort of cross between WarTales type game but with real time with pause so fights and exploration are similar to Swordhaven, with a bit of Wild Terra mixed in re skills. It has…”
“Nice game. Really buggy, terrible translations, unfinished map features. But the game has incredible potential. In couple of years or if modding community steps up, this could become something truly great. Good luck to…”
“Very neat CRPG with tons of customization. enjoyable thus far, give this a try! Various unique systems in this game. I'm only scratching the surface (not even) and I'm looking forward to playing further - I really hope…”

“Good game. Seems like a fantasy themed Kenshi with traits from other games. Overall very fun and difficult. Use beta branch for the most upgraded version. I didn't experience any bugs early on like other reviews.”
“The concept of this RPG is really nice, even though the beginning can be quite tough since your characters are very fragile. The world is large, with many different creatures, lots of dungeons, and plenty of places to…”

“I love this game. Its a revival of old school RPG's. There is plenty of choice and customization. It doesnt level with you, so you can grow and actually feel powerful, unlike modern level scaling games. It has a lot of…”
“Freelands is a silly game that feels unfinished but has some interesting game mechanics. Its a bug riddled charm reminiscent of kenshi and bethesda games. The story leaves much to be desired but the game makes up for it…”
“Great game. The only thing I didn't like at first was the camera angles but you get used to it pretty quickly. The gameplay and storyline are a lot of fun and being able to level up any and all crafting styles for what…”

“This game had a lot of bugs but for the most part it was playable and a lot of the bugs could be overlooked through changing gameplay settings or in game tactics. The game as a whole was enjoyable even with the minor…”
“This game is a buggy mess. I cannot recommend it to anyone in the current state. Many bugs are very obvious such as the setting to pause when combat starts simply not working at all. Combat itself is a huge mess too.…”

“I've read several reviews for this game saying that its too hard, maybe unforgiving, and that's true for the first couple of hours. The problem is, I suspect, a lot of the players struggling haven't played Kenshi, which…”
“The game is interesting, but its very tedious, its trying to be kenshi, I enjoyed it at first but got tired of constantly dying, and not being able to afford companions. And the world map travel is, odd.”

“This game is incredibly good once you dive deeper into it. Yes it has some bugs (no game breaking ones), and there is no hand holding, darn right challenging. But once you find your character (Mage, fighter, defender, ranger, bard, etc) and your groups characters, what you want…”
— a player, Steam review · 76 hrs played“This game is a highly addicting mashup of so many games: D:OS/BG3, Kenshi, and Wartales are the main influences I see. Character Creation and starting skills/talents are VERY much like D:OS/BG3 Overland travel, capturing/recruiting prisoners, world loot are all like Wartales…”

Literally not even 2 actual hours in and already finding game breaking glitches - like not allowing me to engage in combat against wolves so my whole party just dies. I've tried reloading and same issue is happening,…”
