What players say
Players praise the building and room keyword system as rewarding, but many wish for a planning mode to avoid demolishing and rebuilding. The game is compared favorably to Oxygen Not Included, though some find the magic system simpler than expected. A recurring complaint is the tedious dragon quests and the UI being unintuitive. Some report crashes on Linux and note the game lacks content variety.
