Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I really wanted to like this one, but something about it just didn't capture me. I think a big part of it is I couldn't tell which stats to raise, and the first character I made was really anti-magic stuff but then you couldn't really play…”
“Actually the first book that INFURIATED ME with it's stats gameplay. It's virtually impossible to intuit what answers would work based on your stats, and I'm usually pretty good at it. You pick something that all common sense says you…”
People who play it also play: The Fernweh Saga: Book One, Heart of the House, Fallen Hero: Rebirth
