How it feels

A medieval fantasy adventure that feels like a nostalgic throwback to classic open-world RPGs, focusing on exploration, skill grinding, and defeating monsters in a handcrafted world.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Runescape but in a single-player or small multiplayer setting. The grind is the main point of contention: some love the steady progression, others call the drop rates and craft failure rates excessive. Reviews also mention the developers have been adding content since launch.
