The game is a classic western RPG inspired by the games from the 90s. Basically, it’s the kind of game I personally find missing nowadays. Light, fairy tale, epic, heroic and slightly humorous. One that does not take tons of hours to complete or require endless grind to progress.

A great entry point for anyone interested in the old-school style of first-person dungeon crawling RPGs in the veins of Wizardry and Might & Magic.

The mechanics are simple enough to allow you some depth in how you gear your characters without needing to spend hours spreadsheeting whom should wear what for efficiency.
The story and world lore are barely existing but they provide enough background without slowing down your dungeon-crawling.

My only criticisms of this game is that you can't alter your party composition mid-game and most item abilities are not really explained in-game.

I feel kinda obligated to review this since I'm only person who logged it on here.

This is a first-person party-based classic RPG similar to early Might & Magic. What makes this special is the campy and lighthearted tone of every aspect of the game. There's no need to grind and the interface is very intuitive making random encounters and dungeon crawling much less of a chore and actually fun and chill. The story is there just to get you from point A to B. You can tackle some side quests with cute little stories behind them and they require a bit of exploring and talking to people. These quests are usually worth it too, rewarding you with a useful item or a better weapon. I like the music too, very relaxing and nostalgic and fits the game's overall tone and presentation.

Overall, it's a comfy and pleasant experience and I look forward to whatever the developer is working on next.
