Okay, so an updated review (As my last review was literally copy paste of a coming update that
Bare Mettle Entertainment announced (even tho nobody seems to read them and give negative reviews because of that))

So where are we now?

In the stable branch, there hasn't been an update for a long while.

On the beta branch, there have been monthly updates, if not multiple in one sometimes. If you are seeing negative reviews, and are wondering if the game is worth it because of the lack of updates, look at the hours they've played.

This game cannot be reviewed after 2 or 3 hours, as the mechanics go way too deep for on to have seen, or even understood them all, in a mere 2 to 3 hour play session.

This game is something different. Everything is physics based, meaning if you find the combat sluggish and slow, that would be because you don't know how to fight yet.

Is it for everyone? No. This game takes hours and hours of playtime for you to get anywhere near decent.
If you are looking for a plug and play style of game, than you may want to keep looking. If you are looking for a top down medieval "simulator" (The physics are realistic, but because of the way they work, a lot of historical techniques won't work), with a deep combat system, I couldn't recommend this game enough.

And for all those who are whining about "Update when, Dead game, Abandonware, Scam/Cashgrab", I recommend you join their discord for their coffee diaries, and actually check regularly within their steam community to get updated on the latest news.

Anyhow, this review has gone on for too long for my taste, so I want to end this by wishing you all the best, and I hope you'll have a great time in Exanima. If you need any tips or tricks, don't be afraid to shoot me a message ^^
