The Lantern of the Laughless Saint

Great vibes, saving this for when i can play for more than an hour. I have a great feeling about this game!!!

finally an original indie scrolls like RPG with an interesting world, lore, characters, and setting that is refreshing as it feels genuinely creative and not another overpriced corpo coded goyslop game. edit: i also feel it important to note that it feels they haven't exceeded their capabilities. what is there is really solid and they are slowly fleshing it out based on live feedback from the community. i'm hopeful for this team and game's future.

Very fun multiplayer RPG, you and your friends can be each others abuse goblins and training a skill grants meaningful growth on your character. The Devs have been going insano style releasing updates for this game and I have great hope for its future.

i can play as a naked cat and punch the ♥♥♥♥ out of anything and everything 10/10

There's a lot here to have fun with, especially at the price point where it is now, which I believe is 20$. Was able to make a nearly permanent spellcaster with a few perks that are able to taken almost immediately after starting the game and doing a quest or two. There's already a lot of room for strange builds, but I hope the dev will open up the general perks and tighten up some of the skill specific ones to be more build defining. The negative to the game is that the dialogue is voiced, so you don't have as an immersive, exhaustive set of responses from NPCs. I hope they pivot to that and just try to afford the voice actors later rather than have a quarter of the current dialogue per NPC that current exists. There's a lot of stuff that doesn't work quite right. Spells will fizzle on terrain and don't shoot out directly from character models, so you have to put some almost spin on them to get them to hit right if you are in a town or heavy terrain setting. Stairs in towers will make your character jitter the entire climb up, no matter if you are sneaking, walking, or running. Just avoid lockpicking as much as possible for now or try to make a spell to do it. It feels bad and is bad. At this point they need an entire rework on it. Given the price point of the game, unless they up the cost at full release, I don't know if all the issues will be resolved that currently exist, which is kind of alright as it is almost being marketed as janky Morrowind. It's fun, interesting, and will divert me when it's fully released for around 25 hours, is my guess.

Very promising game. Needs some fine tuning around performance but otherwise very enjoyable

Given some additional development time I think this could be a great game, and it certainly is fun to hop into and mess around with for a bit. Something about it though is simply not engaging for me past the 10 hour mark. Might just not be fleshed out enough with enough variation at the moment to keep me playing at the moment but looking forward to how this progresses.
