Still rough around the edges, but impressive. Rarely have I been so blown away by how niche yet successful game design ideas can be implemented. Now be warned, this will NOT be everyone's cup of tea : the game is weird, has a lot of things going for it, and not everyone might enjoy it.

But for those who do, it's the one game they've been waiting forever. I've read around that it's a mix of Dynasty Warriors, Mount & Blade and Diablo, and this is quite accurate. But I'd add that it even adds a Wuxia movie feeling to it, which is just unique and an endless source of fun.

It's replayable, the devs are really active in polishing it as much as they possibly can, definitely one of the most promising games I've ever played. And even in its current state, it's already more than an instant classic to me. But hey, it might not be the case for everyone...
