Still few issue like - progression need some tweaking - it took me less than 20h for full unlock even i player relaxed and no speed run.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
it really feels like a casual survival game starting out, from what i have gathered im on a mission to supply the empire and "for the king" oh and some kind of massive quest involving relics and some kind of LOTR/DnD kind of deal which im excited to delve into later on. for now though, I'm more focused on setting up my base of operations.

- Multiplayer is fun, but my wife demands that you can make female dwarves (even if they still have beards).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Still love this game, even with it's limitations, have been having a blast making an underground mega structure (might be why it crashed lol, graphics card said no).

With better optimization, deeper systems, smarter AI, and a clearer gameplay loop, Orebound could grow into something genuinely special.
