You begin as a newcomer in the dangerous Freelands, choosing an origin and developing a character who must build the strength and resources to survive. Your path can include local work and training before you venture farther into the medieval fantasy world.
Travel between towns and wilderness areas to take quests, hunt enemies, explore dungeons, gather materials, and craft equipment. Side stories and faction activities offer different ways to spend your time, while choices can affect how some quests unfold.
Recruit companions—including captured foes—and assemble a party and traveling caravan. Manage needs such as hunger, fatigue, morale, and injuries, while characters improve through use and gain skills that can be combined across fighting styles. Battles unfold in real time, with pausing available for issuing orders and setting tactical behaviors.
Positive reviews often praise the freedom to shape characters and parties, recruit a wide range of companions, and explore a world filled with quests and activities. Some players especially enjoy the difficult climb from a weak start to a capable adventuring group, along with the real-time battles and tactical options. These strengths are frequently discussed alongside complaints about bugs and rough presentation.
