The verdict
A janky but addictive Mount & Blade-style sandbox with ARPG combat and anime art. Skip it if you need polish, full English text, a tutorial or controller support.
Great for
Mount & Blade fans who want a fantasy sandbox with army building, hero collecting and replayability
Main risk
Unpolished: bugs, bad pathfinding, partial translation and unexplained mechanics
