How it feels

A methodical, linear action RPG where you track a dark force across the land, crafting gear and using ancient weapons and spells to save a crumbling kingdom.

What players say

Players praise the retro SNES-style action RPG and its familiar mix of fishing, crafting, and cooking. The game forces keyboard-only controls with no rebinding, and controller support is absent, which splits players. Some found the ending anticlimactic after dozens of hours.
