Exactly. Also, this game will eventually support modding. So even if the game is "generic" or whatever, you'll be afforded to tweak it to your hearts desire :D
I don't care what anyone says, for 3 devs this game shows off their talent! I've enjoyed playing it thus far, and am looking forward to their upcoming updates which will add a large balancing update and nearly double the explorable area on the starter island.
So far you can parry, the armor you have on affects your stamina and mana regen if I'm not mistaken, you skill with different weapons scales as you use said weapon. In order to manage your mana, you can't just spam all day your mana or you will poison your blood with the powers of a Cristal shard that enables you to use that spell.
It honestly feels better to play each update they release!
You need to keep in mind that it is in a Early Access Alpha state at the moment.
I've been able to play it, and although it can't stack up against Dark Souls or Skryim quite yet, I honestly am surprised at the depth of mechanics the game already offers.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this one gain traction.
cool
