The Story
The story of this world began thousands of years ago, when only two beings existed, Lord Adaroth and Lady Evelyn, the immortal Gods of Anaria. In the beginning they were alone living in a shadowed world of all that had been created; a desolate realm of peace and possibility.
However, Evelyn did not like the loneliness of the world, being frozen in time, and longed for more... Whereas Adaroth reveled in the peace that nothingness and darkness provided.
In these dark days Evelyn brought light to the world, and with it came life. She created great masterpieces of plants, animals and people, embodying what the realm of Anaria is today. She worked tirelessly and the more she made, the more fulfilled she became. On the contrary, Lord Adaroth was miserable, finding the chaos of the uncontrolled creation process too much to bear and strived to bring darkness and stillness back to the world.
For thousands of years the two gods clashed with one another, one wanting to create and one wanting to destroy. Both being immortal and unable to stop the other, the battle waged on until this very day. In this story you play as the Grand Master of most powerful military holy order in the realm and Evelyn has tasked you with the quest to end their war once and for all.

[b] Before starting this review[/b], I need to clear up a few things. Buying this game was actually a bit of a difficult decision for me. I hesitated several times because I saw a lot of people praising it, but also many saying it was disappointing or not what it looked like in the trailers. In the end, I decided to grab it during a good sale so I could judge it for myself. First, it is important to explain what this game is not. This game is not an RPG and it is not an open world game. Do not expect to explore huge biomes, discover large dungeons, craft equipment, or anything like that. About 90% of what you see in the trailers and screenshots is technically possible in the game, but most of those things are not part of the main gameplay loop. In many cases you will only do them once, maybe twice during the entire game. Because of that, the game feels closer to a VR tech demo showing what is possible in VR rather than a full RPG experience. Even so, for the price I paid, it ended up being a really good experience. With that said, let's get into the review. [h1]Played using Meta Quest 3 & Virtual Desktop [100% completed][/h1] [b] Final Score: 8/10[/b] [h2]Graphics & Performa…7 found this helpful
Parts of the game doesn't work anymore due to windows. They haven't updated the game since 2020 to fix said issues. Looks abondoned now sadly.2 found this helpful
Got this game on sale and loved it. There's not a lot of content though, I thoroughly explored every area and got most objectives and runes and it took me less than 5 hours. Absolutely worth it on sale but I don't feel like there's enough content to justify full price. There are a lot of cool potential mechanics like crafting and weapon repair that you never actually need to use after the intro. I wish the Dev would add a mode where you could actually make use of everything. There's even the ability to grow crops but it has no use that I can find.1 found this helpful
I never figured out how to progress
How am I still finding good games seven years after their launch? I like this. Graphics and effects are great. Other comments mention bad fighting, but I found that this fighting is the only ai that have successfully blocked my arrows and sword attacks! They are quick with dodging too! Yes, you do spend more time finding loot than fighting, but in this game the atmosphere and environment make looking for loot quite adventurous. I have more coins than I can possibly need, but I still enjoy looking for them.
Paid tech demo, 55/100
