“I loved playing this game with my brother and friends but since they removed crossplay for no reason we cant play together anymore. Until they add back crossplay back between steam/xbox again i sadly wont be playing…”
“First time in many years I have wanted a refund. Wife and I bought the game in ea to play with each other. Her on Xbox and myself here on steam. It is a really fun game, I enjoy a lot of the systems and supposedly they…”
“It's like some developers asked 'What if a beat em up lasted more than 2 hours?' The combat feels great, each class is fun, none are duds. It's simple but complex in all the right way. Gear is hit or miss, you can craft…”

“I think this game has been hard done by, its great fun. The negative reviews because its not a live service game are bizarre. The combat is great, and there's a ♥♥♥♥ ton of stuff to unlock and its all in game currency.…”
“As a fan of action RPGs and old school beat 'em ups, I find this game to be a lot of fun! Combat is super slick and engaging, classes are fun to play, and the gear system not only allows you to progress further; you can…”

“Currently, the game is almost perfectly what the community wanted. The only thing missing is matchmaking for missions. Outside of that, the game moved away from online-only live-service model to a purchase once premium…”
“I played during Early Access and found myself unhappy with the games direction - It was online-only. However, the Online did not impact you much if played solo. All it did was restrict you from playing offline, and…”
“Nothing but positive vibes from this game. Get a friend an couch- potato away”

“The fun of a live service without the live service. A really good product that gives you a lot of value if you love skinning. It's also a beat em up game I really enjoy on my steam deck and PC. The backgrounds are…”
“Good game so far. I love beat'em ups, RPGs and looter game so it is a perfect match for me, also the controls feel very smooth and responsive. The graphics are gorgeous, especially the backgrounds. Anyway, this is a…”
“If you're like me and love arcade brawlers but hate how most of them don't have much length or depth then this is the game for you. Combat is really good with lots of different combos and special abilities. Different…”

“This game is actually massive and really fun. I'm glad they added an offline mode and removed the live service, mtx BS”
“Love that it became a paid game, the entire concept was SO interesting but I'd have never tried it as a Live-Service, great change based on player feedback.”

“DONT BUY THIS game, they removed CROSSPLAY with the 1.0 version. I play this game with xbox/PC friends and now we won't be able to play anymore. The game involuted with the latest version feb 26 2026. I want a refund,…”
“Removing multiplayer and crossplay when it was available all during early access and advertised as such, to then just remove all aspects of it for launch. Not cool, bait and switch. I was waiting for full release but…”

“the game is a shell of what i played during EA. The main hub is a ghost town, the world map is empty, and they got rid of matchmaking. I bought the Gold support bundle, hoping the game would be free for my friends, and…”
“They removed matchmaking and open multiplayer, which is what I enjoyed about the game. Now the belfry is a ghost town. Could have kept those while retiring the live service aspect, but I guess we just have to live with…”

“removing cross play and removing the map exploration was a mistake. Was better during pre-release.”
“They pivoted from a live service game to a regular game with limited content. while i can understand why people are upset the game is well made and now can be played whenever. If feels good to play so you won't have a…”
“It was an okay game in early access, but now the map is barren of missions and they removed cross play and save on launch.”

“Judging from what this game has, not what it has lost, Beautiful and vibrant art style Dynamic combat and core loop. Soundtrack is good ( but implementation is problematic, it feels like a bad compression issue). Itemisation feels subtle at the beginning but becomes impactful as…”

— a player, Steam review · 47 hrs played“I played this game for almost 1.5 years during Early Access and purchased the Silver/Collector’s edition to support its development.
