What players say

Players call it a Thronefall clone with a hero twist, and they largely agree: it is fun for a short time (8-13 hours) but lacks content, replayability, and polish. There is praise for the hero combat and rogue-lite card system, complaints about shallow progression and shared skill points across classes, and split opinions on difficulty depending on whether optional mission debuffs are taken.
