How it feels

A tense, medieval dark fantasy action RPG where each death pushes you forward through atmospheric dungeons and challenging combat.

What players say

Players praise the dark fantasy theme, old school graphics, and variety of builds. But the game is widely considered abandoned by its developers, with updates stalled for over a year and a progress-blocking bug left unfixed. Only one short, unchanging location wears thin.
