I bought the game a few days ago, I intend to play on release but I played about 2 hours to see what it was like. My thoughts...

The game is kinda pretty? I dunno, it feels cheap asian mmo pretty, sure its cute but there is no substance to the models, some animations seem really stuff, in the cut-scenes especially.

Passive tree - its obvious they took heavy inspiration from PoE, but I mean that isn't a big deal. Its a good tree. Some of the keystones seems absolutely broken with just a kick glance over the tree. I'm sure some stuff will get nerfed right quick.

Combat - for what ever reason they chose to be yet another ARPG that doesn't allow you to change left click to move only. WHY? I played the ranger and name locking to auto attack felt really fucking awful occasionally. Right click and 1-6 abilities felt fine for what few I got to try, I dont particularly like the wind up most abilities seem to have (at least the ones I tried.)

difficulty - I only played to about level 13~ but holy fuck was the game a snore, absolutely nothing posed a threat not even the few bosses I fought. magic packs basically just had more HP but didn't seem to actually do anymore damage. Hopefully full release is better and it gets difficult at end game. Obviously PoE is a snooze as well early game if you have any brain juice.

Overall the game seems like it might have some promise at end game with their mapping / dungeon system.

Curious to hear other PoE players thoughts on the game if you've tried it.

Yep I've been supporting it since the kickstarter days. Played through a few iterations and I'm fairly satisfied with the last round of beta I played. I'm excited for Thursday with the full release. The combat really feels good and responsive. The crafting system seems to draw a lot from path of exile which is a good thing. Can't wait to see how it goes.


If you played to level 13, it means you didn't get to actually experience combat properly. During beta, max level was 20 but you could fight enemies all the way up to 70+ which made it very interesting.
