"Due to limited budgets we are Releasing the Game in this early state" Very early and very rough. You do however get the idea of what it is about. You pretty much get what you see in the video now, and there is a tutorial when you start. It works on Linux but only in windowed mode becuase of the Unity bug. I was not able to get it in fullscreen after starting it. It's worth the price as long as it keeps growing. The dev seems to be honest about expectations and that's important in my world. I actually think this could be a game for kids too since it is kinda easy to get started and understand, but it needs more content ofc.

Many of the objects are mising proper models. The combat is very simple and the lack of a endgoal hurt the experience. (I will be posting on the discussion page about some of the bugs and suggestions if you wish to read more on that) With all that said I played f...
