What players say

Players praise the directional combat system for its realism and difficulty, comparing it to Mount & Blade or Chivalry, but say the game feels rough and unfinished. Reviews are split: many recommend it despite bugs and repetition, while others cite clunky controls, shallow variety, and a lack of story as dealbreakers.
