How it feels

A frantic, top-down RPG where you constantly flee impending doom while customizing characters and crafting equipment pixel by pixel.

What players say

Players praise the large cast of 14 party members, deep crafting systems, and dozens of hours of content for fans of old-school turn-based RPGs. They note the gathering skills (mining, fishing) are grindy and tedious, and the lack of a sprint button slows exploration. Some mention game-breaking glitches if you exit a certain late-game town, and all achievements are currently non-functional.
