The verdict
A Bioware-lite colonial RPG with strong worldbuilding, companions and faction choices, held back by clunky combat, repetitive fetch quests and endless running. Skip it if you hate backtracking or jank.
Great for
Story-focused RPG fans who miss Dragon Age-style companions and faction politics and tolerate AA jank
Main risk
Endless fetch-and-talk quests with constant running and clunky combat make it feel like a chore
What changed in the last 30 days
36 recent reviews
Recent negative reviewers mostly cite boredom, endless fetch-and-run quests and clunky combat, plus a crash report. No single new patch or bug clearly drives it, so confidence is low.
