TLDR:The game is entirely RNG reliant and has no progression what so ever. The only thing that could possibly save it is if Wollay reverts to Alpha and improves it from there or allow mod support so that other people can fix this mess. 5/10 with its only saving grace being its music and overall LoZ feel



I'm ready to put time into a good game like the one that was promised and the one that we saw in Alpha (which I never played), but playing this game is so... Unrewarding and tedious. Some games have problems where they are too easy and some games have problems where they're too hard. This one somehow manages to do both. The only form of tutorial you're getting is through watching youtube videos figuring it out on your own, which makes starting difficult, but what makes the game bad for me is that there is NO progression. No I do not consider the artifacts you get or the gear that you have to give up per region progression, it simply isn't. This game had so much going for it with unique weapon customization and a cool skill leveling system that all got thrown away on this release.

Here's a scenario that I went through:
I start the game as warrior expecting the customization of weapons to still be a thing and still be just as cool as it was, it wasn't and literally didn't matter in game. There's no reason to improve weapons. That's fine though, I'm a patient person and even though I was slightly disappointed, I kept playing. I can only really kill 1 stars and occasionally melee 2 stars even 3 hours into the game, I've shown little to no improvement, but I was ready to grind for it. I watched a video telling me to go for all the things that help you travel, I get the boat, the hang glider, the climbing spikes, the sky whistle, the harp, the bell, still no improvement, but that's fine I wanna get there slowly and surely and feel satisfaction when I do. I come across my first sky Island! I'm really excited and immediately go up hoping for some sort of combat buff.

Well I got it.

4 hours into the game I got a 5 star Great Mace for my class, everything I couldn't fight before now died with very little effort. It felt like someone just cheat coded my game to take me straight to the end. I beat the 5 star dungeon basically as soon as I started it. How is it at all rewarding, how is it at all fun to take the scaling enemies, the leveling system, and the cool dungeons and replace it with a 100% RNG system that just feels so bland. I did every quest in the area that was too hard for me to do before and it took me seconds to wipe out lvl 4 bosses. How is this at all an RPG when all you have to do is get 1 lucky drop and win the game. And then you have to go hope the same thing happens in the next region.
