What players say
Players praise the setting and art style but are sharply divided on the gameplay. Many criticize the RNG-heavy combat as frustrating and unfair, especially against pirates and the final boss, while others enjoy the challenge and atmosphere. The game is described as grindy, with slow travel and repetitive loops.
