❤ Immersive, Systemic Combat

Players can wield a variety of weapons, including swords, axes, bows, and bare fists, to engage in intense melee and ranged battles. The combat system allows for dynamic and emergent gameplay, as players can utilize environmental objects like rocks and furniture as improvised weapons, as well as perform advanced techniques like catching and throwing projectiles. Reviewers praise the "visceral" and "satisfying" feel of the combat, highlighting the "seamless" and "smooth" controls.

❤ Addictive Asynchronous Multiplayer Loop

Alongside first-person combat, the game features a robust base building system. Players construct their own "realm" by arranging defensive structures, traps, and minion units. When a player is offline, their realm can be attacked by other players, who can then watch a replay of the event. Successful defenses earn the player in-game currency, creating an addictive loop of building, attacking, and improving one's realm. Reviewers highlight how this asynchronous multiplayer element adds strategic depth and long-term replayability.

❤ Complementary Combat Abilities

To complement the ground-level fighting, players can take on a "god-like" third-person perspective and rain down various spell-like abilities on the battlefield. These abilities, such as summoning meteors or launching enemies into the air, can turn the tide of combat and introduce another layer of strategy. Reviewers appreciate how these abilities synergize with the first-person combat, creating a "systemic" and multifaceted experience.

❤ Variety and Progression

While the core combat mechanics are relatively simple, the game's progression system and variety of elements keep the gameplay fresh and engaging. As players advance, they unlock new weapons, minion types, traps, and base building options, allowing them to experiment with different strategies and overcome increasingly challenging opponents. The ability to watch replay footage of attacks on one's realm is also praised as a useful tool for improving defenses.
