“Great game who finaly came out of early access , awesome Dev thanks you for the great job you did all those years !”

“It could be a great game if: 1. It had a main story/quest, 2. It had tactical battles (covers, overwatch etc.) 3. Had more variative enemies/bosses For now game is a boring dungeon crawler. It is repetative as hell and…”
“Not a bad game for what it is, but has some inherent problems that can affect enjoyment. I'm willing to cut the dev some slack since they are a solo dev and they never stopped working on this, but I'm afraid I'm done…”

“Gave it a good go at over 20 hours, but frustrating gameplay and mediocre graphics has me regretting my purchase and wasted time. While still in early access, maybe it will improve but its a year later, so.....”
