The TLDR: The game is good and I enjoyed it even in it's unpolished state (remember it is in EA). Pros: - Steampunk - Story was engaging - Graphics were very good - Voice acting was well done - Over-arching political implications - Numerous side quests (including a few hidden ones) - Characters appear to well developed (at least through first chapter) Cons: - Ran into one crash - Encountered a few misspellings\auto-corrected to wrong word scenarios -- The example I remember right now was the chicken saying ballets instead of battles - Map needs additional features -- Not all quests tagged on map -- Shops weren't tagged on map like the legend indicates -- No custom tags - Narrator should be voiced for all conversations where the Narrator is speaking not just when there is other voice actors - Limited classes, races, and customization available in character creation - Movement options need refinement

A Resplendent Revival: The New Arc Captures the Spirit of Arcanum In a time where many sequels falter and spiritual successors crumble under the weight of nostalgia, the new arc emerges not merely unscathed, but triumphant. It doesn’t just revisit the soul of Arcanum—it communes with it. From the moment the narrative unfolds, one is transported back to that uniquely rich blend of magic and machinery, the very essence that made Arcanum a legend among genre connoisseurs. The writing is sharp, bordering on the baroque at times, but always in service of the lore. Characters bristle with philosophy and contradiction, their motives as layered and mysterious as the old world itself. The aesthetic? A masterstroke. Steampunk elegance reimagined, yet unmistakably loyal to the rusted splendor of the original. And let us not forget the moral ambiguity—the murky waters where ideology, technology, and sorcery converge. It’s all here, more refined and daring than ever, like a fine absinthe aged in the mind of a genius gone mad. Simply put, the new arc doesn’t mimic Arcanum—it inherits its bloodline. A work of reverent innovation.

Good showcase of games core systems. Interesting magic system and a good intro into the story. While parts could be changed, i personally think that they are just placeholders and will be improved. Character introduced are interesting and varied. And generally showcase their classes. \Currently only 2 character classes are available. Steampunker, a heavy melee tech class and a voodoo sorceror a debuff/control focused magic one. As long as you don't expect full game going in you should be satisfied. At least i was. Also i suck a writing reviews :D

I hope that the Devs read this and other reviews. This is a super idea, for a game. The cinematics are top. The music, ok, but needs more variety. I will be retesting this every time that a new, major update is added. But issues at the present moment are numerous. For an RPG, immersion in the game world is, to my mind, essential. Creating a character, but then having a different portrait at the bottom of the screen is annoying. Then the party, once together, always run around together, Please allow players to choose who is leading and who is in the party. Then the quests, too many of them fail to register if you fail to do them in the required (by the game code) order. Add to that that NPCs, once encountered cannot be approached a 2nd time. I understand that the game needs to get the player to a certain point, but give the players greater choice in how they get there. Then game mechanics. Pickpocketing, is a nice mini game. but there are no consequences if you fail the first skill check, and if you get greedy whilst pocketing, you just don't get the goods. Than there is inventory. Please allow sorting of the inventory. Please give a tooltip to explain why character A cannot wear jacket B. Or just let us try them all. Fights, almost always the wrong character is in the wrong place, because I cannot control them per character. Then it is not clear, to me at least, what is the point of the reaction options, I never got them to work. And there seems to be little, if any, options to avoid fights. So the story needs to give us more freedom to play the way we want. We want to get to the end, it is after all a fascinating story, and a glorious world. But more attention needs to be paid on the gameplay rather that the visuals at this point.

It's a good start. I don't know if I should recommend buying it rn. It will definitely be worth it, and it is really cheap rn so it could be a good idea to buy it now to support devs and play it in a few months + Story and setting are good. Reminds a lot of Arcanum, but modernised + Graphics are nice for that kind of games. Not incredible, but nice. + Magic vs Technology bar depending on your actions in a region, affecting the strength of one or the other is a cool concept - As of right now, there's a lot of lag in some areas. I also encountered quite a lot of regular freezes that break the momentum - Combat and leveling up are meh. Combat is not punishing your errors, when the fight is over you go back to full health. They are also quite repetitive as you end up doing pretty much the same moves independently of the environment or the ennemy. If you played Arcanum and always wanted a more modern version of that setting, look no further. I would advise to not play it right now though, as it really requires some optimization and content (I finished the currently available content in a bit over 8 hours). If you like turn based rpg this is a good title to keep an eye on. I'd like to recommend to not buy it right away and wait for updates, but the game is really cheap and it will support the devs so we can see better results, so if you are interested in it I highly recommend to buy now
