Replayed (most of) the game with the 0.9 patch introducing a new class and various ability changes for both player characters and NPCs.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The only actual bugs I've noted so far in my replay is a visual issue where my heroes stand outside the barracks rather than disappearing inside when idle and some wonky tutorial progression in the end steps that seemed to resolve itself on restart.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
A really well put together game for early development. i enjoyed the beautiful scenery yet simple gameplay. anyone who likes dnd would like this game. its very easy to play, low file size, no lag that i've experienced, while running it on a omen laptop. its not too complicated to understand, and a good game to capture your mind and enter that grinding levels state. overall, i loved playing this game, was a real joy to play a game that has developers that really put their best work in. for being such early development, im pleasantly shocked to see how good this game is, i expected big bugs or errors and glitches but i was relieved to find out that it runs smooth and i can rest assured this game has a delightful future ahead.
