What people are saying

The Real Review

People are mostly split on this action RPG from Inti Creates. The core loop of side-scrolling for materials to rebuild your kingdom is a decent idea, but the gameplay feels clunky and unrewarding for many, leading to serious questions about its value. The pixel art graphics are its one bright spot, though some players reported performance issues. It's a tough sell, especially with a brutally difficult balance that can make progression a slog.
