Simple, well-designed game, very thoughtful and polished for it's particular niche. Anyone a fan of the old SSI AD&D party-based games like the Savage Frontier, ...of Krynn, or later Pools... series will find familiarity. There is an overland map. You travel to POI. Enter them. From there, it deviates to where any settlement is just interactive menus, so no exploring it or anything. If it's a dungeons or lair, it's a 2D grid/maze, similar to if you're playing the old dice/tabletop D&D if the dungeonmaster is using grid paper. You go through corridors/tunnels, encounter traps, treasure, and reach rooms and chambers. If you encounter enemies though...then the game goes into a turn-based combat just like those old SSI games would. Combat is your party vs. enemies, as icons on the screen on a tactical map. Move up and smack the enemy. Cast spells at them, Fire arrows. They attack back, notably try to use tactics at times. For example, ran into some evil dark conjurers who summoned a golem and whirlwind elemental who tanked my party, while they hung back flinging various magic spells and curses our way. In another battle, some enemies broke off from the main group to try and flank and separate us. Travelling on the overland map is in real-time and there's a plethora of points of interests (POI) to explore. There are enemies roaming the map at the same time. Similar to Mount & Blade. You create your party and adventure around. Stop in towns to resupply, buy/sell loot, get quests, or find other heroes to replace members of your current party if you want. Added to the game is the ability to buy licenses for trade in settlements, buying property likes mines, harvesting materials, collecting artifacts or mats, and selling them, doing quests to retrieve them for settlements, or outright using them for crafting items. There's a lot of crafting and your characters can be trained in the different crafting schools and work on leveling those skills up. The game has a Steam Workshop that's great for getting new character portraits and icons/avatars. While the default game has many, it's great how easy it is to simply get more to choose from. Like if you want, make your characters look anime lol. The game is simple and it works and still receives updates due to it's still technically Early Access. But's already a pretty solid game with different game modes. Again, it's pretty simple, it's not an AAA title and some might feel it's too "cheap" but I don't think the intention was to make some grandiose eye-candy game. It's very utilitarian, practical. If I had to share what I think could make the game better, it would be: Needs better sound FX: When an enemy dies, it should play a sound, like the old SSI games "AAHHH" or something. Instead, there is just a red skull and they disappear. There's no weight to some of the combat. While a fireball will burst around the enemies, melee and ranged attacks made a "tick"-box type noise. The game can be modded but still, nothing is there for "On Hit" or "On Death" situations. Need ability to rest in settlements: While your party can setup camp anywhere on the over-world map, or while in a dungeon, you can't rest in towns. Very odd to me you can't just hole up at an inn and rest safely. Finally, it would be cool if they could up the graphics a bit, make them a bit more flashy or just some animation. Those are all wish-list but highlights some of areas where others might find it needing a bit "more" to feel really satisfying. All that side, if you enjoy the good ol' pen and paper D&D, or the old SSI games, want something simple, but with depth, that works, gets the job done, with lots of options, with a good soundtrack, then you might really enjoy this. It's quite stable, I've not encountered any bugs or crashes. Very smooth. It's very easy to just jump in/out to play. No linear gameplay, no forced cutscenes or bloat. You jump in with your party and it's all about: "What do you want to do next?" then go do it. Easy. And thankfully!

The game tries to be dungeons and dragons with a random gm for each seed. Honestly needs a few better tutorials for item creation, a fully customized item creation system for magic items instead of random abilities. When on sale its definately worth the buy if you dont have a gm locally capable of 3.5, PF, or 5e fantasy.
