How it feels
A punishing but rewarding action RPG where you and your AI pawns take on terrifying monsters in a dark, atmospheric open world.

What players say
Players praise the combat and monster climbing, but split on the dated design. The pawn system is a unique highlight, while quests can fail without warning and the UI feels clunky. Long-time players adore Bitterblack Isle as a standout endgame dungeon.
