What players say
Players praise the rags-to-riches concept and compare it to Mount & Blade meets Crusader Kings, but note rough English translation, slow turn-based combat, and bugs. One heavily-upvoted review reports the sole developer passed away and the game will not be finished, which multiple later reviews repeat.
