How it feels

A methodical, story-heavy RPG where every choice shapes a war-torn fantasy world through old-school turn-based combat and pixel art exploration.

What players say

Players praise the ambitious blend of JRPG and D20 mechanics with deep character customization, but say the game is held back by frequent bugs including crashes, freezes, and quest-breaking glitches. Reviewers note the developers are quick to fix reported issues, though the lack of autosave makes progress loss punishing. Some find the combat unrewarding and the material harvesting grindy.
