Why you might like it

  • Housing, player-owned towns, vendors and a crafting economy give world-builders substantial noncombat goals.
  • Classless skill trees let a character mix weapons, magic and utility abilities instead of selecting a fixed class.
  • Online and offline options make the story approachable for players who do not always want a shared-world session.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Its small population and player-run economy can make some multiplayer activities or market needs difficult to arrange.
  • Housing deeds, cosmetics and optional subscriptions remain prominent parts of the supporting business model.
  • The interface and deck-influenced combat system are idiosyncratic and may take time to configure comfortably.
