Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 21, 2026)

Grim and strange in the best way, this turn-based dark fantasy RPG scores 85.9, top 30% of games we analyzed, from 237 reviews.

👍 Strengths

56 reviews praise the world and its atmosphere, an alien and unsettling setting full of lost technology, and Story & World ranks 223rd of 1096. 56 love the art and visual style, with retro pixel graphics and striking artwork, and Visuals & Sound ranks 249th of 1249. 52 say it is engaging and fun, and some single out a crunchy turn-based battle system that feels rewarding. Gameplay ranks 424th of 1396.

👎 Where it falls short

The main caveat is size. 26 reviews say the content is short for now, with only the first act out in early access and a few hours of play. Content Volume ranks 1193rd of 1351. 22 have mixed views on difficulty: a few find the hard mode not challenging enough, while others hit unfair spikes, punishing RNG or a tough first boss with no way to save. 13 report bugs, such as random freezes, loot that did not drop and missing sound effects, though several call them minor. Tech & Support ranks 475th of 1399.
