I was really excited for the game because the visuals and the idea of a turn based furry RPG was very attractive to me. However, getting into the game I was met with relentless difficulty. There are 3 difficulties and I picked out Relaxed, which promises you will take less damage, deal more, and level up faster. I imagine you do... but not by much.
Even in relaxed you do not earn enough RPG to continue the main campaign at a regular pace. The first quest ends telling you something very wrong is happening and you need to urgently arrive on the next city down the south. The areas from that to the next city scale from 1 all the way up to 11. Fighting every enemy I found on the way I was still only level 3.
I guess you could argue that I could've done side quests and wandered off until I had a higher level. If so, why bother having the main story urge you to rush ahead to warn of a brewing danger ? When I hear that I don't think "Ok, cool, I'll go off into the woods and see about it later." I think "Oh goodness, I need to hurry this up along then!"
What's weird is that the game does the oldest trick in the book to force a player to engage with side content. Once you speak to the person you need to in the next city they work out a deal to help you out ONLY if you help out the people in the city. That forces you to engage with the side content and grind up levels before you continue the main campaign. It's the oldest trick to ensure the player does not fall short of the main campaign.
Why wouldn't you set that at the start if your beginning area scales so quickly ?
Also the perk system is simply boring. The skills don't offer anything peculiar that really draws your attention or greatly changes the way you play. Every other skill tree has a "teleport" ability. They're all pretty much samey.
Although I really love the visuals and the gameplay, the music left a lot to be desired and I felt as if I was listening to stock music which I can't be sure I wasn't. There was nothing unique about the soundtrack. It wasn't awful, but it was simply mediocre.
I cannot recommend this game unless you purposefully ignore the main campaign to go off and 100% every quest within your grasp. I am not one of those people. However, the visuals and gameplay are good enough to bump it from a 2 to a 3, as I admit that despite its flaws, I simply am not the audience for this game. It's for the people that WANT to do every quest possible, not people that want an intriguing campaign with optional content. The flaws are too glaring and that brings it down heavily.
Also, if your game is not completely built around stealth THEN DO NOT HAVE A STEALTH QUEST. It was a very obnoxious quest to deal with and I managed to do it by pretty much cheating. It took me 2 hours, since the character you're supposed to follow can see you even from beyond the camera boundary, forcing you to take a step, press tab to reveal more of the camera before repeating.
