What players say
Players are split on this free prequel to Heads Will Roll: Reforged. Many praise its gritty medieval storytelling and roguelite character progression, but a common complaint is an unfair difficulty spike in Chapter 3, even on normal mode, with heavy reliance on RNG that can decide battles regardless of player skill. Some also report poorly explained stats and mechanics.
