A dense hand crafted world to explore, with a robust fun locomotion system that allows you to go anywhere.
Climb the tallest mountains, brave the deepest waters, glide to distant lands, with many hidden treasure to uncover

A real time skill based combat system, where you can switch between fighting styles at the press of a button.

Drop in Drop out, 3 players online, with a planned 2 player local couch co-op option. No Hassle and No Problems.
The Character you’ve been progressing in your Solo game, is the same one you will use and progress further in Co-op

Use a simplified Character Creator to make your unique character from multiple fantasy races to truly stand out

Your progression stays with you, from solo, to co-op and back through multiple playthroughs. And even your town upgrades go with you into New Game +. You will Unlock new Tier levels of difficulty every time you beat the maps end boss, and those higher Tiers are where the enemies are tougher but the rewards and XP are even greater.

There will be mining, fishing, animal catching, and other things to enjoy. And in Multiplayer you are not tied to your Host’s location, you are free to play your way, even in their game. You can be the team’s miner, searching for the best ores, and trade them to your friends for their precious GOLD!

Save the towns people and use gathered resources to help them rebuild to their former glory.
The Blacksmith, Armorer, Arcanist and Chef can level up as well, granting the ability to sell and craft better equipment

Centuries ago, a primal magic surged from the earth's depths, fueling empires but twisting it's inhabitant and the world into corruption's grasp. Forests blackened, skies bled shadow, and rivers turned to poison.
But a less prevalent radiant energy was also born, and hidden within pure warriors, the Luminaries. Armed with the light, their goal is to reclaim the land, hurling back the blight.
Yet the Luminary's gift is double-edged, immortality that tempts the soul. Every 80 years, Luminaries must yield their light to a successor, or risk eternal decay. Defiant ones hoard it, swelling into godlike tyrants of darkness, the Ebonarchs
As a new Luminary, rise in power. Shatter the Ebonarch's abyssal power source to strip their immortality, and strike them down. Together with your fellow Luminaries, push back the Darkness with Light.

Fun game with a lot of potential
Absolutely love it!! I had 15 hours of playtime on the demo and am so glad the early access is here so I can explore the new world and engage in some epic battles. Really love the character development and how the developers are ultra connected to the community giving the customers a voice to help out produce the best game possible. The graphics are amazing! Great job Refractive Entertainment

So I played the demo and could see the potential, straight forward to play, I'm too old and tired for dark souls, Elden ring, no hate to those games, but not everything needs to be that, gamers are aging dammit. So I bought the full early access copy, early as it is. Frame rate drop was bad, but that was the worst bug I saw, I excited to see what this game turns into, Bethesda, and Blizzard started somewhere. Now their on fire, so time for new Blizzards and Bethesda and I love Skyrim. So yes keep at it lads, let's see what you add next...P.S having a Elf I could play as, got me to purchase the game. Would not mind a few more sliders down the road, but in your own time.
I have been eyeballing this game for sometime and even played the demo and I absolutely enjoy it. It’s a game that I can jump in and just relax, slow down and enjoy myself. It’s really cool seeing such a vast world built by a team of two (if I’m not mistaken). I can zone in and let my brain zone out and not have to depend on anyone or anything. Yes, there are things that need work. But I’d rather throw my money and time to small games that need work than triple A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that doesn’t care about the player base and just recycles crap over and over. Keep it up!
Alpha review: This game is in the beginning of its wonderful life and it has potential. For an Alpha it runs smooth looks great and is fun for everyone even though the world is not finished you can see the love and time inserted to the game. We all hope to see this as the next big thing
From Demo to Early Access, nice large world to explore, the game does have a small list of tasks to complete from locating collectible, all chests, clearing camps and towers. it is only alpha build but that just means more to come. Combat seems smooth, few skills to level/work on, multiple tier worlds to increase difficulty (kinda like new game Plus) armor is currently cosmetic however as you level you have stat points to plug in just fine on top of weapon skills. I feel this is a good relaxing game in its current state, much worth a try for its price.
I Put about 5 hours in the demo, and played the early access game. The game isn't to bad just short, The game launched less than 2 weeks ago and will change with player feedback.
Very enjoyable experience, its very early in the games life but im excited for the future.
Honestly if you are looking for a souls-like combat adventure, this game isn't going to fill that niche. What it does fill is the "cozy rpg" game. The world is beautiful, the music is extremely relaxing, and the combat is simple enough to pick up in a short period (and the bow play is pretty satisfying). I've been running around for over 4 hours just looking for chests to open and goblins to shoot (and gnomes to smash. Its *personal*). Honestly this game's early access launch reminds me a lot of Enshrouded's where the world was really open and there didn't seem to be a lot to do, but you enjoyed running around and exploring, fighting enemies and opening chests. I see a lot of potential for this game and I'm really looking forward to its further development.
So far its simple, but the plans for it are BIG. I figure I would help the two devs out buy purchasing it. I would like to see a booba slider but even without, females are pretty ample and they are still adding things as we go.
