The Real Review

People are mostly loving this medieval hack-and-slash for its great gameplay and a killer art style, with the Scottish battalion and a banging soundtrack being huge highlights. The co-op roguelike combat is landing well, but it's dragged down by some serious performance problems, especially on PC and Steam Deck. While the core loop is solid, the steep difficulty curve and middling value for money are common complaints, making it a harder sell unless you're really into the vibe.
