“Solid hack and slash RPG. It is exactly as long as it needs to be, around 10 hours. The abilities are few and the story is so boring they developed a fast forward capability for players to skip through it. That aside,…”

“I think the game's top merits are its art and music. The story is simple but still has enough twists for me to get invested. Combat and the other systems such as enchanting are fun, but needs more polish. The game's…”
