DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP



  • MOUNTS: Collect rare and legendary mounts so you can move faster in style.
  • CLASSES: Pick from Warrior, Rogue, Mage, or Priest. Each class has unique gear, abilities, and talents to help you fill a crucial role in a hunting party.
  • SKILLS: Current crafting and gathering skills include mining, blacksmithing, woodcutting, carpentry, tailoring, leather-working. But many more are in the works!
  • EQUIPMENT: Wear gear that suits your attitude and build path; fight with melee, magic, and ranged weapons.
  • GUILDS: The current Guild management UI lets you fully customize aspects of your guild. Create guild tags and ranks. Promote, invite, and kick members. Coming soon: Guild bank, guild cosmetics, guild house.
  • PETS: Collect pets to help you in battle and crafting, or just use them as a status symbol.
  • LEADER BOARDS: Compete with others for the top position on a variety of monthly leader boards such as crafting, PvP, item collections, and more. Monthly leaders will be rewarded with prizes and specialty cosmetics.
  • PVP EVENTS: Sharpen your blades for epic large scale player battles and other PvP events. Gain rewards for collecting bounties from wanted players.
  • PLAYER HOUSING: Not just a place to store belongings, but an opportunity to showcase your creativity and style. As you walk through towns and forests, you'll see homes adorned with exotic furniture and intricate gardens. Showcase your achievements and trophies earned in battles, displaying them prominently in your home. Our housing system will truly set us apart from other MMOs, and we can't wait for you to experience the joy of owning and decorating your own space.
  • ?????: This isn't the end of the road though. We have plans far beyond this list, along with any amazing suggestions from our community.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the retro MMO grind aesthetic and the variety of skill options that allow self-paced progression, with some finding it genuinely fun despite being time-consuming. However, they frequently criticize the slow development pace, poor developer communication, confusing UI/onboarding, and declining player base, with many expressing frustration that the game feels abandoned despite its potential.

few issues priest healing spell stops working at lvl 10, the skills tab doesnt open, cant create more than 1 character, and the game crashes when i try to quit the game and i have to force the app to close. oh and this is a giant grind of a game almost 3 hours to get to level 10

Unless you enjoy spending hours grinding levels with little rewards for each actions you take (I.E. mining, chopping trees or simply beating monsters) I would hold off. The xp granted is not worth it most of the time even when you kill monsters in comparison to what's required to level up, the leveling scale for quests and gear is completely staggering (Like the wooden shield is lvl 3 but the next shield is lvl 10 then lvl 20). I would strongly suggest bringing down the jump between lvl gaps for gear (for instance say the swords go lvl 3, 5, 10), lowering the requirement to level up a bit and maybe give the XP rewards a bit more. Yes, I'm glossing over the currency cause it's fairly easy to get via farming resources then just build a bunch of tools, weapons, or gear and then sell it. Other than that, for an early access, it's a very nice game to just sit back and relax on, the controls are simple and easy to figure out, and farming materials is even easier. Overall a decent game

even though development is no longer being done. Still an amazing game with cozy vibes

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
