How it feels

A classic turn-based RPG with deep dungeon diving, exploration, and a comic-book-inspired fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the art style and tactical turn-based combat, but many note the difficulty swings from punishing early on to easy later. Complaints include uneven loot drops and a party experience system that discourages swapping characters. The ending feels abrupt to some.
