And the survival aspect is pretty lackluster items are too few and far between, they vary between spell scrolls, useless if you chose berserker or drifter, weapons, that are either the same, worse or only marginally better, than what you start with, but all have trade offs, either damage output, speed of use or range, recovery items are scarcer than everything else, and equippable armour, have pretty useless bonus features.Ĭombat is terrible, incredibly buggy, numerous attacks missing entirely, leaving me open to the huge amounts of damage the enemy outputs, there are several different enemy sprites, both small and medium sized, goblin like creatures, skeletons, zombies and what I can only assume are orcs, all of them deal varying amounts of damage, mostly dependent on their size, but all deal plenty to a level 1 or 2 character, even when I managed to make it to third level, which was rare enough, I was still taking a decent sum of damage.Īll have enough health that you need to make 3+ swings each, the likelihood of receiving a hit, increases with every strike attempt, even dodging, which is actually a great feature, to evade attacks, needs to charge up after several uses, leaving you wide open for further attacks, it does however recharge on it’s own, which is a welcome relief.Īfter about 4 hours consecutive gameplay, I only managed to beat the boss of the first area twice, only to be severely wounded and instantly killed the moment I moved more than ten steps into the next area. The class system is basic, skills are practically useless early on as they all require mana, mana is only generated from kills, so once skills are expended, trying to survive, recharging them becomes an almost impossible task. RPG elements are scarce you can only play three classes, Berserker specialising in melee combat, Witch in magical spells and Drifter doomed to die horribly without any proficiency, or skills. It never quite hits any of the points, it’s marketing to, the action is buggy attacks frequently miss, enemies dish out way too much pain, especially in the first two areas, which I never managed to get past.
