What players say

Players are sharply divided: some call it a shameless asset flip of A Game About Digging a Hole, while others enjoy its relaxing dragon-hunting loop and secret endings. Many note the early game is a grind, upgrades feel weak, and ores despawn. Those who stick with it find hidden areas and a rebirth mechanic.
