“Probably one of the best Early Access RPG's I have played. For all it's flaws still being worked on, it is a thoroughly enjoyable game. The map instances are well done, combat is fantastic, unique item collection very…”
“Great game that has bones to be an amazing game! :) Been following for awhile and finally starting to sink my teeth in. Good: Build Variety - Able to mix/match skill lines/weapons to make your own playstyle Crafting -…”
“It's a fun game, the skills (especially unarmed) make it very hard to get bored of combat. I do wish they'd finish the main story already. Not that its the main appeal of the game but aside from wanting to see the end…”

“Great game even in EA, frequent updates and only getting better!! Support the dev!”
“Its actually pretty fun, similar to Skyrim. game could use some polish but the developer is consistently updating the game”
“Great game. Love the village building element and skills. Dev consistently adds to and improves the game. Their discord pops up with surveys to get players opinions for future development and balancing.”

“Great game. bugs are gonna happen, but nothing breaks the game. Movement is fluid and dynamic, combat is crazy and a little overwhelming in the beginning but dont be afraid to test skills and change up your playstyle.…”
“So far really liking this game, the best thing about the game especially early on is how satisfying the movement is being able to climb anywhere or wall run makes exploring feel a lot more fun and rewarding since you…”
“This game is a blessing to the rpg genre. You have total freedom to roam wherever you want to go. Everything you do is monitored by the game and grants you exp. Jump, combat, run, wallrun, swim, mining, fishing, farming…”

“15 hours in. The game clearly is still being developed and the devs literally make that clear in game. Regardless, the game is goofy, imaginative, and expansive. I imagine I'm about 1/3 of my way through the game at 15…”
“The game is fun. I'm mostly playing it with controller, and there can be a lot of bugs. One issue is you have to hold down the thumbstick to run, there's no toggle. It has a ton of skills and things to do and I still…”
“This will be an amazing time sink when its done, as is its good enough for you to see some cool spells and attacks, it has that skyrim feeling of "....theres a main quest" which can be a good thing or bad thing.”

“This game is a masterpiece. Quant graphics & engine, well optimized, with a surprisingly bottomless lore and quest presence. Will only get better with time.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed exploring this handcrafted world, you can feel the love of the creator for its game as you play. Thank you for making it!”
“Love this game. Graphics aren't bad. Gameplay and combat is fun. All in all definitely worth a try.”

“Good idea, but not executed well yet. Climbing bugs so that you can't get over the edge/ledge, weapons + resource harvesting glitch out (gotta reload), character's graphic permanently turn 90 while armor didn't, helms…”

“please add an option to enable toggle-run instead of holding the button down for controller, holding rs down hurts my wrists after a while its a good game, i see the vision and am looking forward to watching it come to life :)”
