( * Combat/Game mechanics can be a little confusing and janky.But it's still an enjoyable action exploration game.I wouldn't recommend it for people who hate repetitive grinding, but for those who just want a head-empty kinda game that focuses…This then requires you to grind out enemies which might be the biggest turn-off for a lot of people, especially with how…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, rpg filtered by weird, single-player.
