The story and world are super interesting, and it’s great if you love roleplaying.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is a mix of turn-based strategy and RPG mechanics, with unique class abilities keeping things interesting.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That said, the stylization of the world is pretty cool, very Bioshock-esque, and the gear and crafting system are fun so far.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-The art style and world-building are top-notch, seamlessly blending the industrial tones of steampunk with the mysticism of arcane magic.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack stands out for its emotional composition, seamlessly transitioning from melancholic melodies to dynamic battle tracks.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would also recommend rolling a Voodoo Shaman character at the game’s start instead of the Diesel Engineer I mained (those are the only playable classes at the moment), as the three party members you’ll pick up along the way cover the game’s other bases pretty well.
