Monomyth
As the sun sets on the empires of mankind and civilization crumbles under great storms ravaging the world’s surface, the people of Ariath retreat to the underground.
Amidst the chaos of this dying world your father, King Ferodin the Third sent an expedition to the fallen fortress city of Lysandria.
It is said, that within the ruins of the fortress lies the primeval seed – a divine gift that may calm the gods’ anger and put an end to the roaring thunder in the sky.
Spearheaded by your own brother, the expedition hoped to retrieve the sacred object but was never heard of again.
Against your father’s wish, you decide to travel to Lysandria yourself.
Find your brother and retrieve the divine gift, but beware: The ancient fortress is not as deserted as it seems…KEY FEATURES

Kick just instantly brings Dark Messiah to my mind, and that's a plus. It seems like the game has a huge potential and I keep my fingers crossed it will get filled with more items, mechanics, puzzles and NPCs. If the early access sucked me in so much, I can't wait to play the game in its full glory. I'll be back for a full review when it's out of EA. For now I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.

This game is fun BUT it's unpolished, duh, early access.
Interesting action dungeon crawler with sim toppings. For example, you can set on fire a crate with your torch/spell and then throw it at enemy because why not. Throwing pots while running from enemy? Yeah you can do that. You want to stand on the unreachable for the npc place and headshot them with your water arrows? -doable (and yes, water arrows douse fire sources)
I found spells to be unbalanced (i'd rather shoot 3 magic arrows to down an enemy but currently I need to hold that LPM for several seconds to shoot about 100 misseles, it's kinda riddiculous).
Puzzles are fun, exploration is fun, levels are fun, combat is okay I guess (hit and backpedal/block for the most part but it will do with possibility of throwing random shit at enemies).
I specifically omitted story in this 'review' because it's fucking shit (you are a royal agent looking for your brother and you start the game in a prison - kinda cliche and meh but Im playing this not for the story, lol)
On the other hand lore of the world is really cool and if you like environemntal and text based world building then it offers really nice experience (it reminded me somewhat of arx fatalis but don't quote me on that).
I won't touch on the ecconomy and item balance because I'm pretty sure it's not a current scope in the development.
I'm looking forward for the next steps in the development because it's very promising. I have beaten the demo and decided to buy this game. Got 9h of playtime and I decided to help devs with this review.
I only wish someone would put this gameplay into random generated roguelike and Im gucci
tl;dr
If you like licking walls to find that one key that opens a door you've bounced off 3 hours ago then this game will make you cum
