Don't do it to yourself. The game is an absolute mess and a pain to play! I thought this would be a nice little game for when you have a few minutes to spare and was aware of some of the problems. But this game is much more buggy than I thought to the point that you can't really play it. - When you start the game it only ever opened on my second (much smaller) screen and I was not able to change that in the settings. - The maps are small and you only ever play the same ones. - The enemies are not on the map beforehand but spawn in around you, which is probably the most stupid design choice I have ever seen. - You character is extremely slow, the enemies extremely fast. If you choose a ranged character (hunter) to try and deal with them you are always at a disadvantage because your character stops to attack (even though the controls say they should not). The combat is a pain. - you can unlock/ level up abilities. I was only ever able to use 2 of the 4 I have for some reason. In a boss level my character even used them randomly, without me clicking the specific number - the "town" that is advertised consists of 3 houses (random stuff, armour and weapons) and an altar where you can respawn. Gathering materials is a pain in the a** and after 10 levels I still hadn't build the house for new weapons All of that is bad and makes the game boring and uninteresting but not unplayable. Now on to the problem that ended my run after half an hour: I had entered a boss fight and started fighting him. I deal with the usual problems of taking damage because my person stood still while shooting, started running in circles to heal up - the usual not so great gameplay, only dragged out by the &()"$*(&) amout of health the boss has. Then the game got fecky. The boss's health bar started freaking out and couldn't decide on how much life the boss had left. My character stood still for half an eternity when he started shooting, resulting in him taking a "("$&§?)(= amount of damage from the boss. This eventually lead to me dying because my character wouldn't respond to controlls anymore. And after dying two times with any character you are dead forever. What an absolute sh*tshow of a game.

Playable but janky

Incredibly rough around the edges
Verified purchase
It seemed interesting through description and all, but it's incredibly rough around the edges; Stiff and janky movement & Skill usage. The game is playable, but eeeh.. It feels like someone's first go at a game; It's not terrible but could use a lot of polish and TLC
