How it feels
A slow-burn, methodical combat dance where every strike and parry feels deliberate and punishing, set in a lonely, atmospheric world.

What players say
Players praise the one-of-a-kind martial arts combat and hand-to-hand deck-building system but agree the multiplayer is all but dead, with progression and content locked behind PvP that lacks players. Longtime fans campaign for a sequel, and reviews caution to buy on deep sale. There is a split on polish: some call it a rough gem, others note persistent bugs and a short campaign.
