More Than Just Pretty Pictures

What truly impressed me during previews wasn't just the gameplay (which is largely predictable within the genre), but the striking visuals. The blend of medieval 2D art, cel-shaded models, and perspective creates a unique aesthetic, reminiscent of exploring a miniature tabletop RPG map.

However, its long-term success depends on how it differentiates itself from other mobile RPGs like Dragonheir. While visually impressive, it needs a compelling gameplay hook to stand out from the competition.
