Great potential, questionable execution
I bought this a few years back and decided to wait before reviewing it, but as it's still in development ad-infinitum, may as well give it to you straight. The essence of the game is a sand-box RPG with some good things, and lots of meh. Unlike Battle Brothers where you can command a small platoon, here you are limited to six characters on the field of combat. That's ok I guess, but it is limiting as combat is one of the better aspects of the game. There are multiple classes of characters to recruit, multiple races, and they all get along fine even when they shouldn't. But here's the main problems. The world map is always the same in every session, killing some replay value. The Dungeons graphically look like you are traversing a crossword puzzle. You walk across some tiny tiles, and usually nothing happens. Sometimes though you'll be informed that you've encountered something, at which point a small screenshot will break the monotony. In 2024 this is un-acceptable. The quests are ok, and perhaps have a higher variety than what you find in Battle Brothers, but again, these usually lead you to the inadequately depicted dungeons. Where the game is quite good is that it isn't actually low magic, it's high. There's lots of exotic loot and equipment, lots of spells to learn and use. The battle maps are simple, ( consisting of tiles and some terrain), and combat itself isn't bad at all. Tactics do matter here. Overall this a game with an excellent concept that seems improperly executed, the fact that it's still in development after all these years is also not a positive. By all means give it a try if you like RPG games and want some freedom, but pick it up on discount only, it isn't worth the full price.
