This is an incredible game, but honestly, it still needs some polish. The plot is extremely compelling, and for the most part, it captures the enjoyment of DnD combat in a digital format (though be aware that some changes were made). It has extreme replay ability, and is both compelling for those who wish to have an immersive experience and for those that wish to have a power fantasy kind of setting.

My current major issues as of the time of this review relate to several quality of life bugs that are frustrating to the point of nearly wishing to put the game on hiatus until more bug fixes are released.

The biggest issues I have encountered involve 1) major camera issues in areas where verticality is a significant feature. 2) Lack of accurate player feedback for both mechanical actions (jumping in particular) and in story actions (especially in Wyll's story). and 3) Lack of auto-save points during major quests resulting in significant loss of progress without knowing to save constantly. 4) Inability to allow others in multiplayer to utilize their own skills during dialogues.

The devs have shown that they are consistently fixing problems, and much of this likely comes with pushing a release date up, but I do absolutely question how some of these things got past testing. Jumping, in particular, is consistently buggy in regards to railings which are present through all areas of the game. The camera and player feedback issues are readily apparent once you have your first combat in large indoor areas, and there's little way to compensate for these problems outside avoiding playing specific classes / using specific spells.

It's just very frustrating. The core of the game is so incredibly amazing, but the bugs present are visible in a way that seriously hampers the player experience. If you want to experience the sheer amazement of this game's plot and mechanics I would wait a couple weeks for bug fixes.

Early Access Review
This game is honestly a great concept. The idea is truly unique, and something I have never seen before across the deck-building genre. With that said, I cannot recommend the game in the current state due to immense lack of content. Each run feels very samey, with only a hand-full of "builds" actually existing. I'd hesitate to call them that though. since this game essentially lacks the typical build based strategy of a normal deck-builder. Items don't really affect many things, and the handful of symbols that are highly synergistic are extremely rare, and often entirely negated by the game's lack of deck-removal options. If you want a deck-building game. I would just have to recommend another title such as Monster Train or Slay the Spire. Too much is lacking here, even for the early state it is in. Wait until the game gets HEAVILY updated before purchase.

Early Access Review
This game has the potential to be one of the better construction simulator type of games out there, but many problems are present in the current version. Far Far too many bugs are present, and while they are being patched constantly, I still can't say that this is really worth it in this state. The main issue is the game is just way way too early of "early access". You are effectively a glorified game tester if you buy this game, due to the little amount of content (roughly 4-5 hours) and the extremely large amount of bugs and vague information. I really do appreciate the concept, and love how active the dev is, but I can't recommend this game in the current state due to the cost to enjoyment ratio.

While I do have a serious problem with the fact that you are not supporting the company by playing it through tabletop simulator I will say it is a great game.

Pro
- One of the Easiest ways to play games with friends period. If many of your friends live quite a distance from you this is a very easy way to stay in touch and have fun at the same time!
- Many people in the community make their own games, many tools are supported to be able to do this and almost nothing limits the creatiability.
- The community is usually very friendly. Yes theres always that one guy who likes to come around all the time but it is mostly fine. People are almost always ok with teaching you new games and are ok with being patient as you learn the controls.

Cons

- The controls can be difficult to learn as a newer player, ive played for almost 1,400 hours at this point and i still do not know some of them to be honest.
- Again as i said before i think there should be a better way to support the actual creators. There is some DLC that you can purchase for some games namely Cosmic Encounter which as far as i know does go back a little to the company.

Overall i would reccomend this product though it can be a little annoying to newer players to get used to.
