[ THE UNFILTERED LOG ]

> PIPELINE SUMMARY CONNECTED...

This tactical RPG is riding high on Darkest Dungeon comparisons, but the community is split between glowing praise for its art, map, and strategic depth versus warnings that it's a raw Early Access title needing voice acting, balancing, and bug fixes. Controller support is a dumpster fire, and there's paranoia about review-bombing tanking its score despite most players loving the bones.
