Other people have differing tastes, but to me this game has become monotonous - within 8 hours of playtime. A regretted purchase. I don't find it lives up to the description, although I had high hopes; I can't refund it - I've played it too long - so I can only hope that it becomes more varied with more work on it in the future.3 found this helpful
The beginning is pretty confusing and takes some time to get used to. But once I got past the early learning curve, I was completely hooked—the gameplay and world really pulled me in. Unfortunately, the ending didn’t live up to the rest of the experience for me. After putting in so many hours, it felt a bit underwhelming. Still, it’s a solid game overall and definitely worth playing if you're in it for the journey.2 found this helpful
Really cool game, would recomend1 found this helpful
As someone new to PC gaming and used to console gaming, diving into Arhaekon was a new and immersive experience that managed to be both challenging and incredibly exiting. The game is a turn-based RPG dungeon-crawler, as a newcomer the learning curve was real as I came to realized along that to win the game smart positioning of the troops and adapting to new enemies is key. In the end I had fun paying this game and would continue to play it in the future.1 found this helpful
This game was quite a time killer although at first the game was not that appealing, over time I did get the hang of the game and started to get a little into the game. Although I got the game for free the price of the game with or without the discount (At the time of writing there is a discount) the amount of gameplay you get for the price is really worth it. Although the ending was a bit underwhelming the gameplay was still fun
If you dont like repetitive games this is not for you, as most of the gameplay is grinding. Although the tutorial is a bit all over the place it is still helpful. I recommend using the scriptorium, mage and rogue. Currently there are some bugs some worse than others. Overall the game is enjoyable and decent.
