What players think

The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Out of the box there’s already a few nice in-built campaigns or modules, with different themes and settings (medieval high-fantasy, Sci-Fi, outer space colonies, etc.), dozens of characters, amazing voice-acting and literally thousands of items and skills, but there’s much more to the game, like the powerful editor / campaign creator / game maker.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
As long as you’re not expecting something like Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate 3, Pillars of Eternity (perhaps if you want to rest from that sort of titles, and be surprised by something totally different, light-hearted and fun) this game provides good solid value for money, and possibly thousands of hours of gameplay.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Official description reads “a roguelike tactical RPG with a papercraft, board-game art style in which you can create any weapon, ability, enemy, hero, or game you can imagine”, but that’s really just the tip of the iceberg.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
There's no other games like it: it’s definitely not a gacha mobile-like game, nor a Genshin Impact, Blue Protocol, Black Desert Online or anything like that, nor it needs to be, nor it’s meant to be!
