What players say

89% of 766 reviews are positive · 88% of 17 in the last 30 days

Players praise the guided blend of RPG quests, resource gathering, and town building, along with the PC version’s quality-of-life changes. The most common complaint is that each story chapter resets progress, forcing players to rebuild from scratch; some also find the combat and quests basic.
