Got no clue why everyone review bombed this a couple months back. Its like nobody read any of the announcements from the devs. Idiots just hop on a bandwagon with no knowledge of what is going on. At least its back up to mostly positive, but there are heaps of negative reviews saying the game has been abandoned and its not likely those dummies will change their review to positive. This game has huge potential and the devs obviously care about putting out a good product. If you are one of those people who left a negative review thinking this game was abandoned, you are the reason gaming has gone downhill. Rather than dogpile on some indie devs, why dont you do your own damn research and form your own opinions before writing some bs review.

The Dev is back from hiatus and is working hard with a lot of new ideas. Please give this man a chance he deserves this, there is a lot of potential here for a game that will be no like the other.

Edit: I said before this was a dead game but after learning about what was going on in the background with the devs I learned that their publishing deal fell through and they have spent the last few months trying to get funding and failed. So kudos to the developer in keeping us informed and he has said he will resume development in jan solo.

TL;DR For the price of 15.99 US, for a development team who have posted near-weekly updates since EA release, and who are having problems and suffering heartache, I STRONGLY recommend this game to anyone who has the funds to help. For the price of supporting people in their time of need, you will receive a hand-crafted labor of love with beautiful art and and a lot of depth with a real future if they manage to bounce back from their misfortune. The game has a surprising amount of depth already after only a year in constant development. I have been following it's progress since shortly after release and the dev team is small and talented. The art and writing is excellent and the rolling die is a very nice, crunchy TTRPG touch. I honestly feel like a jerk that I haven't reviewed this game earlier. Please don't let it get an undeserving Steam score from a community of vocal gamers with plenty of time and so little heart that they would kick people when they are down.

Game lets you be the powerful mage you would like to be. The idea is great, the direction is clear. At this early stage of game, there is not a lot of things that you can do and conquer/destry/build. But in the months of me looking after the updates I can see a constant progress in the "right direction". Try it out, you will most likely not regret it, if you enjoy the gameplay, not the graphics of games.
