Great continuation of untold and red tide - nice references to those games if you've played them previously but prior experience not required. This does feel a bit more difficult to start off with, mainly due to the debt collectors however beating the pit and everything the arena does help a lot. DLC was also a fun diversion and probably helped with the difficulty. I look forward to more content from these developers.

Good, but extremely unbalanced and heavily RNG based. You can be optimising debuffs and skills but overall seems to be moot unless it's 1v1. Perhaps a flee from the debt collectors option to give players a choice between a chance to obtain gold over 25g or lowering the cartel rep or perhaps give a stat point upon new game start to broaden available branches and capability.

I don't ever review but felt I had to! This is simply a masterpiece, I can't imagine the hard work that has gone into creating this. Stick with it and you will not be disappointed. It took me back to a time when I used to read the choose your destiny books but this time it's mixed with modern day digital goodness. It's just simply amazing!
