In a world devastated by an invasion, humanity survives in scattered enclaves. You play a powerful survivor fighting through the ruins and helping people endure the dangers around them.
Explore connected areas, battle monsters in isometric action combat, and search for equipment, hidden paths, shrines, and lore. Quests and faction choices can affect relationships and the people or settlements you encounter.
Develop your character by combining two classes and investing in their skills, then add bonuses through a constellation-based system. Loot, crafting, and equipment upgrades support further build changes; the game also supports co-op for up to four players.
In the supplied reviews, players often praise the freedom to combine classes and experiment with builds, along with the rewarding hunt for gear and the bleak, detailed world. Many also value being able to play at their own pace, with strong replay appeal from trying new characters. Some reviews criticize the learning curve and dated interface, while several recent reviews object to punishing difficulty and one-shot deaths after updates.
