  Finally: a roleplaying game (mostly) set in a historical time period! It's a unique time period to set a game in general in: The Hussite War. The major players, the faiths, the factions are mostly real. There's some liberties taken (which will become apparent when they arise) but don't expect to run into wandering wizards or fantasy races here. I think I might have learned something about medieval times just from the intro let alone living out the experience of hospitaller knights and mercenaries. All that's very enjoyable and the graphics are charming with a deliberate angular simplicity which is complimented by ultra smooth and expressive actions. The horses especially canter and turn just like the real thing. The voice acting is top shelf! A lot of enthusiasm and deliberately accurate pronunciation of places and people. The music is moody and has a nice guitar riff from time to time to keep the energy going. Problems, there are a few though at least in the version I've played. 1: The difficulty is punishing. I realize this is probably the point but more than a few times I ran into infuriatingly tough encounters that I could not circumvent. Just two guys can whittle you down to nothing super quickly because you lose health AND energy when you block attacks. Basically someone whaling on you will eventually make it impossible for you to block, attack effectively, or even stand up. Once you're surrounded you're usually done, and enemies recover their health faster than you, attack faster than you, and if they attack you from behind you lose half your health instantly. You can't even drink potions quickly, and when you do drink potions the alcoholic content will mess with your vision. Combined with the fact enemies can flawlessly see in the dark and run without getting tired you are outmatched constantly. This is the reason I had to take a break. I was enjoying the story, but the irritating need to wait precious few seconds every reload just to see if I'd get lucky this time started to wear on my nerves. Oh, and there are escort missions with allies who don't heal quickly. Huzzah! 2: The 'gameplay' is a little thin on the ground. I liked exploring but you don't get a lot of opportunities to do so since you're usually being chased or your character will just state he doesn't want to go in a certain direction. I liked talking to people but if you wait too long your character defaults to a blank stare and the conversation ends, never to continue. Fighting was frustrating and constant, if very atmospheric. There's something undeniably awesome about drawing steel in the pouring rain...but something less awesome about then getting ganged up on and pummeled to death by peasants while their buddy fires crossbow bolts you can't block off screen. Most the missions so far boil down to 'go here' and 'collection this' or 'talk to this guy'. This means a majority of the beginning of the game is just riding around on a horse from place to place doing nothing else. It's kind of fun to visit the countryside or the battlefield, but that's all you're doing. I had one side objective to talk to a guy and did so gladly as I wanted to get deeper into the history of the story. The problem was I had a bunch of options I wanted to try, but as mentioned before if you wait too long the reply defaults to just no statement at all and the conversation closes forever. Also there were surprisingly few things to loot. Sometimes I located a couple coins but I never found anything to spend them on. - Anyway, I recommend this game for the sheer amount of effort and passion that went into it and because I want to encourage more historical games, especially roleplaying games! As stands the fighting is hard, but I might eventually get the hang of it and a lot of levels are just walking/riding to a place but I don't mind because of the atmosphere and the unique setting.

  It's kind of a weird game, but not fully in the good sense (as would be in case of, say, Disco: Elysium). The graphics is simplistic, but the art style is excellent. The plot is highly reminiscent of the old classic Darklands. The problem is that the gameplay is quite thin: lot of walking around shifting between torch and sword, fighting boring duels - where you fight the terrible controls more than the enemies. The fighting and camera are really clunky and it just doesn't work well (can't unsheathe if animation is playing, rotating camera mid-fight means your character turns as well, e.g. gets hit). The story progresses so slowly it's hard to get engaged with it - because clearing endless dull dungeons in between kills my interest for what's going on (and thus far there are no plot twists, it's all fairly basic "devilish conspiracy"). Minigames are hit & miss (the escape on the horse was a disaster, deciphering letters is great fun). It feels like it could be a great game, but it's trying to reinvent too much and ends up being frustrating instead. I loathe to give bad rating to a product of love, but I gave up on it halfway through, so just can't recommend it at this stage.

  When it coms to accessibility options for the Visually Impaired this is one of the best games out there. Very impressive. Text to Speech accross the board. Options for more time in mini games. Accessibile specific sub games. Sound effects when leaving screens. The list goes on. All this in a RPG written in Unity. It goes to show, if it can be done in this game there is no excuse for other games. Whilst I have not plated long things do seem to work well so far. Well done to the Devs will keep an eye out for future releases.

  + 90s gameplay + tough but rewarding + thoughtful work of one solo developer + specific combat system (you just need to step back after every attack) - specific combat system (until you learn to step back after every attack) - occasional obstacles you may not pressume 8.5/10!

  Graphics and music are quite good, some puzzles are challenging and that is where pros end. Gameplay in this game is pretty bad, combat system is slow and stiff, but I can forgive that since it is small indie title. What I can not forgive is a blend and random story that could have take place in any medieval times and region. We get typical fighting with skeletons, demons and devil worshippers. There is not much said about local customs and habits, important facts are spilled in unpleasant, extremely long dialogues. And final is just exhausting because location design is just horrible. I dunno why someone decided to do a game in 1428 year in Silesia and then just did random low fantasy destroying devil story, but that is so disapointing.

  This game is bad in every sense. Horrible controls that lead to awful clunky combat, terrible stealth that feels like a afterthought, and a boring story that quickly devolves into demons and skeletons. That acting is bad, the sound design is a mess, and the graphics make runescape look like art. Every 2 seconds in this game there is a puzzle where you just end up going through your inventory picking things at random to see if they work. There are 12 chapters and by the time you complete the 3rd you see that 80% of players have already dropped it. I played the game so you dont have to. Its not worth your time at all. i just wish i could get a refund, i cant believe i spent money on this mess

  Overall a nice polished game with great story, art and voice acting. Gameplay is nicely balanced - mix of exploration, combat, puzzles, stealth, problem solving and more. Blend of real historical events with dark fantasy is a spot on. However, there is a lot of frustrating moments in puzzles and combat, such as unclear solutions to problems or fights that end by you getting stunlocked and killed immidiately. Still, the game is a great adventure and definitely worth a try!

  A good game, but with some flaws. The art and music are great, the historic background involved and the storytelling are also mixed on a entertaining way. Like it's really fun at some levels, like trying to better position yourself in the field, running and attacking, then blocking with your shield. It's like fighting zombies, you can't get cornered or flanked, if you do... you're proabably in trouble. The controls aren't easy, a bit like Kingdom Come Deliverance combat, errors may cost you and frustate a lot, but it's rewarding the sensation to slay a mob of enemies. Like in one of the levels I cleared the castle of enemies, avenging the garrison and a fallen brother deaths. The game it's difficult, but you can overcame such challenges and get a felling of satisfaction. So be warned that this isn't a easy one, combat will be difficult most of the time. But you can do multiple saves to avoid headches. Puzzles aren't out of this world either, but sometimes you have to pay attention to what you are supposed to do or where you need to go. Like finding a item in the scenario, and using it. Examples: you need rope? But where is rope? Maybe either at the stables or at a merchant stall depending of the level; on the way to a chamber, while being pursued by enemies, you need to pick a broom and block the hall door after entering it, not something you probably will do on the first try. But it's nothing of a game breaking deal i think. For a indie dev who did most of the work (credits shows this), thats a amazing game, I didn't find any bugs while playing, and even with it being a bit like Dark Souls at some points, the truth it's that I got tons of fun playing it. Wait for a sale if you are on the fence about it, but I can assure the fun it's here and a game that doesn't take us by the hand 100% of the time, thats no sin or flaw. Another of the pros, it's how the dev participates and interacts with the community, he is around the forum and answers a lot of questions, listening complaints/constructive criticism as well.

  I like this game because it is accessible with a screen reader.

  While the idea and story for this game are fantastic, the controls and the extremely awkward mission design combined with an interface that sometimes makes it impossible to tell what the game wants you to do make this very hard to recommend. If I could give this a neutral review I would. I'd strongly recommend you look at reviews or gameplay footage before you buy this to get a feel for what you are getting yourself into.
