I actually played this when it was brand new because I thought it looked like some mindless action RPG fun but found it to be so unstable and bogged down in game-as-a-service bull that I ended up refunding it. Turns out while I was away the publisher let the whole game die and just gave up one it. This is usually where a game like this would just vanish but these devs did something really admirable. They took back their game and totally reworked it into a normal-ass video game!

It's still just a generic mediocre action RPG but I never really needed it to be anything but that. The way this game has transformed though really speaks to how monetization and live service integration is ruining so many games. This game should have been lost forever but instead there's actually something pretty fun here. I'm having a good time just running around doing some serviceable action combat and picking up loot and exploring a decently sized open world. It's good!

I really hope we see more free2play bombs go this route.
