How it feels

A lighthearted fantasy adventure where a false accusation upends a quiet village life, propelling you into a jailbreak and rebellion against a corrupt emperor.

What players say

Players warn of a 20-minute real-time train wait early on, janky combat with unclear hit detection, and platforming that makes it hard to tell which surfaces are safe. A few appreciate the story and online arena, but many find the game feels dated and unpolished.
