Steam review snapshots
The mastery system is frankly remarkable and gives a lot of customization capabilities to the current 12 characters (and 36 different classes…Some aspects of the game are just simply way too grindy: acquiring skills, XP, crafting materials take way too much time.Systems include: Gear crafting, gear sets with set bonuses, monster taming (catch a wild creature to assist you in combat), machine building…You understood cover, positioning, and risk immediately.Why it fits
Best for players who want a high skill ceiling, farming, an emotional story, and tactical combat. It blends casual, RPG, and strategy elements with a strong mastery system, tactical combat, farming, and replay value.
Who might skip it
Skip if you dislike repetition, grind, or technical roughness.
