What players say

94% of 14,633 reviews are positive · 95% of 67 in the last 30 days

Players praise the dialogue, characters, worldbuilding, and how clan choice changes play. The most common complaint is that an unofficial patch is often needed to launch or run the game properly; players also report persistent bugs, clunky combat and controls, and a weaker, more combat-heavy second half.
