Pretty neat game, a bit bare bones atm, but then again, it came out last week.
Still has enough to satisfy imo, ESPECIALLY if you are into old school open world RPGs like TES: Daggerfall.
Which I am.
My one caveat right now would be the price tag, I got it on sale and I would suggest you do the same, or wait until more content is added.

I've been watching this game for awhile. Your ambitions are big, and I'm along for the ride. I wish you luck in creating my dream game!

This was the early access game I was most excited about after playing the demo at one of the Steam fests (I think it was Next Fest). The world is still really small and I haven't seen anything different from the demo. There isn't much for weapons and armor for sale meaning you can either wield a dagger or a bow at the moment until you level up enough to craft something better. The quests are a bit repetitive right now and the combat is beyond simple (unless you're using a bow because there doesn't seem to be a way to aim it).
So why the positive review? The concept is solid even if the execution is currently lacking. That's the risk of buying early access, you buy the game and hope the developer ends up making a solid game. The developer is very responsive and what is here runs smoothly so, to me, it's worth supporting.
Things I would like to see:
- Way more weapon types to vary builds.
- Maybe a lock-on feature for the bow so it doesn't feel so bad to use.
- A basic encyclopedia to explain the systems at play and where to find information.
- The ability to build my own house wherever I choose so I can build at an ideal location between towns.
- A much larger world.
- Mounts so I can get around the map more quickly.

Awesome game played the demo a lot :D
Edit: I think this game deserves more love than it gets, yes its clunky combat and can crash at times but the solo developper Pierre is working his ass off to fix everything and improve his baby (the game). Im used to old games like ss13 and other byond games and this feels like a mix between a good rpg I played on byond when teen and elder scrolls in 2d...The world generation is fun ive created 3 worlds already to see how things differ and nothing is the same ofc. The npcs living their life gives a good atmosphere to the game and the brutal guards who can arrest you too for doing crimes. Please don't leave a negative review just because this is not your type of game or you don't like it, there's already some fans into this little gem and all negative reviews do is hurt sales i think. It's so easy to click negative just because i don't like a game...

This game is delightful, with cativating quests, pretty graphics, funny adventures and just the right amount of complexity. You can craft items, buy a house, grow your farm and build your reputation! How fun is that in a 2D game that we can play with friends?
Very happy with the game. I do get a little upset sometimes about small things, but that is my competitive behaviour. The soundtrack is fun, but gets repetitive after a while in the same area. I would love to have a little bit more diversity on that.
Also, the regeneration of hp is confusing among other details regarding game mechanics. Maybe make it a little more clear, tutorial or instructions maybe?
Something I didn't enjoy and I think it's important to me, is when finishing a quest, if, by mistake, we want to go to the inventory and come back to chat with a certain character, you lose the ability to re-read what the response was. There is no log or ability to review what has been done. I think that could be a huge improvement and doesn't seem too hard to apply.
Other than that, I loved the game! Please, don't stop here. Make it grow!

I'm enjoying this game a lot even though it's still in early access. The graphics look nice and the crafting system is fun. I think the game has a lot of potential and I'm excited to see how it develops. The combat could use some improvement though, especially the targeting. Also, running is too slow and it takes a long time to travel. I recommend giving it a try and see how it evolves. It has a solid foundation.

Honestly gas, if there was more content it'd be fire.
Only problem is you click to attack things, but also click to interact with menus. So sometimes you attack people you were trying to talk to, which is problematic.
