Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 23, 2026)

Flashy skills and an enormous passive tree define Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, an action RPG that scores 57.9 across 319 analyzed reviews.

👍 Strengths

64 reviews enjoy it, and some love the single-player campaign even with online play gone. 51 praise the visuals, from a gorgeous art style and incredible environments to explosions worth pausing for. Visuals & Sound ranks 657th of 1249. 27 value its build depth, with a skill-based progression system and a vast passive tree that let some mix melee, ranged and magic. A few say experimenting with builds kept them hooked through the campaign. Gameplay ranks 862nd of 1396.

👎 Where it falls short

Tech & Support ranks 1346th of 1399, appearing in 42% of analyzed reviews. 42 say the developer abandoned it, and some note that multiplayer servers were shut down and the story was left on a cliffhanger. 28 report game-breaking bugs, such as progress locked in dungeons, a final boss fight that resets and regular crashes. 23 find it repetitive from the middle acts onward, with an endgame that repeats the same missions. Content Volume ranks 1198th of 1351, and Multiplayer ranks 641st of 642.
