The verdict
A deep, immersive no-magic medieval RPG with a great story and world, but punishing combat, a harsh save system and bugs. Skip it if you want a relaxed, polished action RPG.
Great for
Patient players who want a grounded, no-magic medieval RPG with deep immersion and a strong story
Main risk
Clunky, punishing combat (especially against groups) plus limited saves and bugs can be very frustrating
