The verdict
A magic-themed survival sandbox with great castle building, spell crafting and dragon taming, but abandoned, with dead servers and a grindy loop. Skip it at full price or if you need multiplayer.
Great for
Solo players or small friend groups who love building magical castles and taming creatures, bought on sale
Main risk
Abandoned game with dead servers and little content, so you run out of things to do quickly
What players love
Taming creatures, brooms and dragons
