How it feels
A tactical, story-driven fantasy RPG where you pause to outthink overwhelming hordes of enemies with a small band of heroes.

What players say
Players praise the story, narration and dwarf setting, but the combat is widely considered buggy, janky and tedious, forcing constant pausing and reloading. Opinions split on whether the game's charm outweighs its rough gameplay.
