The verdict
A gorgeous, handcrafted isometric souls-like ARPG with strong combat and exploration, but grind, friendly fire and a delayed 1.0 sour some. Skip if you hate grind or want a finished game.
Great for
Souls-like and ARPG fans who love art, exploration, build variety and co-op
Main risk
Early Access grind, time-gates, performance issues and a 1.0 delay with save wipe
