How it feels

A grim, tactical turn-based RPG that feels like a punishing but rewarding dungeon crawl with strategic party management and adjustable difficulty.

What players say

Players praise the story and the responsive developers but the game is combat-heavy with repetitive battles and a frustrating level scaling system that makes fights drag. Opinions split on whether the tactical depth and power curve justify the slow pacing.
