What players say
GREAT GAME!! Only negative reviews are focused on the devs "abounding" the game. Not a valid argument. I'd much rather this beautiful game be left alone than barded with updates and micro transactions, which could have been SO easy with what kind of game this. 10/10 would recommend. Fun with friends, Procedurally generated maps so it doesn't get old fast. This game does not deserve a "mixed" review status, which is...
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
It's quite an interesting game. Beautiful, stylish graphics, and the gameplay is similar to Dark Souls. Unfortunately, the game has long been abandoned by the developers. You can't get platinum without an unofficial patch because there's a bug preventing you from finding all the recipes. It's still quite fun to play through it a couple of times. Playing solo is quite challenging. Lots of good memories from the co-op.
It's abandonware. Amazing concept and game but the Devs are total and complete morons who won't take the roughly 15 minutes necessary to come up with a patch to make the gameplay better. It's a genuine shame. Don't buy under any circumstances unless magically the devs come back and actually do their jobs.
