In just the first 3 hours of playing this game I saw almost all of the basework for the game, what is here is very bare bones but is also one of the most complex sandbox rpg experiences I have had in a minute. The way you can build your character is amazing, and I can't wait until there is an actual game here to play with it in. Still going to keep playing to figure out fun builds because the system is quite fun and the ragdoll is never not funny. My one suggestion, if the dev reads this at all, is to eventually have passives you can spec into for trade skills, like increasing xp bonuses or maybe even adding a super crit spot for gathering nodes that gives triple xp, so it is not so much a grind in the long run. It is part of the reason I don't think I will partake much in crafting outside of making the town.
The Janky Immersive Sandbox We've Been Waiting For
Check out the review over on 2 Headed Hero!
I spent ten minutes raising my reputation with a neighboring kingdom by sweeping up horse sh!t on their streets. That's not a quest, just like... something you can do.
Janky as it is, AAA open world games could stand to take some cues from The Bloodline. A truly ambitious masterpiece-in-the-making that just needs some more time to cook up proper gamefeel and squash bugs.
https://youtu.be/ZsRzwnbzXrA
Definitely could use some more polish, but the genuine freedom in mechanics that initially may feel like a giant mess offers some of the greatest freedoms in any game I've ever played
Look I've followed "The Bloodline" on social media across the board and played it in it's slightly icky phase and after playing it recently I remembered how much I've enjoyed and how much the game has grown since demo and upstart. Buy it, Play it, and PLAY IT AGAIN.
A very nice scrolls-like from Fog Horn Interactive, great if you like building towns and screwing about whilst forgetting that there is, in fact, a main quest.
This is the Mount & Blade successor we waited for. Overland travel, quests, city building, resource farming (optional, you can just steal those from goblins), crafting, and on top of that a mad combat system with crazy magic like Skyrim meets Attack on Titan meets bullet-hell.
Unfinished, yes. Already absurdly good.
Amazing even in early access
Although this game is still vastly unfinished, I love the world that has been created. The combat is fun and makes you feel like an unstoppable hero in your own world. A lot of the features are missing but I'm not too bothered about that as I know that they'll be worked on in future updates.
Don't forget, it is one person developing this game. He doesn't have a team behind him working all hours of the day. What has been created so far is amazing and I can't stop playing this game. Looking forward to what else is added in future updates
Definitely a lot of potential, but I had to refund due to too many bugs. I couldn't even use the world map to travel.
Will update my review once I pick it up again.
This is a great game. Ive been following the development for years, and have over 100 hours in the original Arena demo. The dev is incredible, the world and story are well crafted, the combat and monsters constantly get tweaked and improved.
its like Skyrim with way better combat and magic.
It's a nice game, it plays like a mix of Skyrim and Mount and blade. The gameplay is pretty fun but I've encountered so many bugs in less then 5 hours, also it seems that the game is very empty and I would really like some more NPC interaction with actual choices, right now it's just very empty in that regard.
I would recommend to buy when the game is gonna be more stable and it's gonna include actual freedom in dialogues too.
While still early access theres easily enough content to keep you busy for 20+hours. And all that without tedious work, but by a suprising amount of handcrafted locations and small quests.
Currently there is only one big Questline, the rest is mostly small quest to fetch items in goblin dens or repair guarding stones in a crypt filled with undead.
The combat/skill System is best Ive seen, and hard-carries the game.
The only thing missing now is more content, finishing the few locations that are openly a Work inProgress, and some small streamlining in the quest system.
If this game is on sale I would say: Instantly buy. If you are not quite such a cheap person as I am, it is also already worth the full price.
Go for it!
I absolutely love this game, it is so much fun and worth every cent. It does, however give me terrible motion sickness.
Wondering if anyone has a work around for this?
you can jump from high cliffs and towers, just like real life
100% recommend
This game has the best Magic system, hands down. Necromancy lets you summon as many Undead as your mana can afford. The fluidity that a lot of moves have with each other is amazing. For an early release, single dev game, this game blows every other out of the water. If it got more attention, it would threaten even AAA companies. This game deserves a LOT more recognition than it currently has. The Developer (One person btw) is also extremely transparent on their Discord about letting people know what's up, what's coming, and what they're currently working on.
10/10 Game of the Decade so far.
Tl;Dr I summoned a group of Undeads that tore through a bandit camp without ever touching my sword. 10/10 combat.
Simply put, a sandbox game that takes inspiration from Runescape, Skyrim and Mount & Blade and does so in a unique way. You can be a mage from 10 different schools of magic, be a knight or just farm resources and build a big town. OR all three and even more! This game has alot of potential and is still in development and I'm excited to see where it goes in the future
Be the rabbit from the movie monty python and the holy grail and tackle your enemies and ragdoll them across the map.
very funny game and mayhem is guaranteed when playing anything even close to magic
but keep in mind: the game is in an early stage and extremely buggy and features are missing.
I got it on sale for 10 bucks so you cannot really go wrong there
If you can't handle early access bugs and jank, don't buy it. If you're willing to put in the time and effort to work around them, this game is amazing. The story, combat, world-building, and freedom to do whatever you want are all incredible. I've finished all currently released main story quests 20 hours in, and there's at least another 20 hours of random side quests—I’m sure of it. There are dozens of locations I've never seen and areas I've never ventured into.
The level of bugs and jank is pretty reasonable for a solo indie developer. Nothing has been game-breaking; I occasionally get stuck and have to save and reload, but the process is super fast, so it doesn't really matter. The game isn't super well-optimised, but that only tends to be an issue in large cities and dungeons.
My only real issue with the game is somewhat odd: the sensitivity you experience seems to be linked to the frame rate. The lower your frames, the faster it feels. The problem with this is that without great optimisation, the frame rate fluctuates quite a bit, causing the sensitivity to feel like it increases and decreases randomly.
Overall, it's definitely worth it, and I look forward to more content releases. I 100% recommend it to anyone who loves the freedom that games like Skyrim offer.
TLDR: Game is AMAZING if you can handle the early access indie dev Jank
Game doesn't work, to many bugs. Far from ready for any beta.
The game has a very fun skill tree that doesn't punish you for choosing you to mix and match really fun and silly combos. The game could use some improvement on the navigation of the menus and some of the keybindings which stray from the more traditional games, but if you are patient and willing to be curious will have a good time! Excited to see where this games goes!
Love it.
Slow start, but once you know drag and drop your skills and quick select.....I am now a combat wizard, who can swing from roof top to roof top, toppling skeletons.
VR version please!
I kinda really love this game. Picked it up cause I saw a streamer playing it and I'm having so much fun exploring and building my village. There are also LOADS of mechanics and gameplay loops in the game, and it looks like there are a lot more on the way.
Highly recommend :)
A cool project to be done by one guy, but at the moment that's it "a cool project". Get it if you want to support the dev, stay far away if you're actually looking for something to play.
definitely a early access game but there's a ton of stuff to do, reminds me of oblivion
I wish i could explore an truly open wolrd version of this game, personally i don't like the world travel like bannerlord. Ride in first person with your horse from your castle to the rest of the places could be really good experience if the random events like bandits or armys still appear in the open world.
But for that i think the world should be smaller.
a side of this personal and completly subjetive detail, i love the game, the mechanics and minigames for every task, the diferent playstyles the game offers. Simply beautiful.
PD: I really love playing like it's a DISHONORED character with the daggers, the slide and the parkour, mixing it with a druid only bird skills and flying around sending guided pidgeons, a fully DOPHAMINE EXPERIENCE.
Really, really enjoying this game so far.
I'm still working through all the tutorials, but I took an hour and a half and said "eff it", went wandering, and enjoyed the heck out of just being out in the world.
$10 well-spent. (Provided you don't mind blocky, simpler graphics. And I don't.)
Honestly for what this person has created and the level of small detail in the game I commend you developer for making a great game. I can't wait to see how this progresses.
There are some bugs but for a small team it's a job well done.
its a great game but their are always problems but its only in third person you can't collect or search stuff and the movement speed is a little slow but not devastatingly slow. but other than those its a great game
I wouldn't recommend this game on the current state. Yes, I know, EA, bugs should be expected yadda yadda. The problem is most of the bugs are game breaking, or at least require me to re-load the game (as in back to menu then load the save back). I can understand if it happened once or twice, but it happens like...idk, 5-10 times on every sitting? It's just frustrating.
I think the dev should just stop adding content and focused more on FIXING content. I personally don't give any crap about any new mission if i constantly keep getting out of bounds, weapons gets stuck, mission get bugged, failed on reloading the game, grappling hook stop working, etc etc etc
Is it playable? Yes it is. So does Ground Branch.
But is it bearable? For me it's a hard no. It was fun the first 3 hours, then I realize I would fight with the bugs the entire time i gonna play this game.
Looking good so far at this early stage in development. Combat works smoothly. Runs on lesser hardware. Basic game systems in-place and well-thought-out. I believe this guy will finish his dream-project, so buy for support, give feedback and let him finish it.
this game is already dope and is only going to get better. i wish that i could help this single dev with this game in making it a finished game faster, its fantastic
Even for being in early access this game is amazing. So much to do and explore, but what really made me leave a review was the solo developer Milo. I highly recommend joining the discord. Milo is beyond helpful, always responds quickly, and has even edited my world files when I was stuck. Very impressed with the work here
Very much onto something with the combat and skill combos, excited to see where this goes.Nice environments and exploration as well, overall pretty fun time even in this early state.
Wow, I just played for just under 2hrs and I'm REALLY excited about this game. I immediately love this. The world feels very open and just welcomes exploration. The characters are surprisingly interesting and touch your heart strings, the story so far seems to have a decent hook and I'm really looking forward to seeing the storyline develop.
I just happened to come across an Elder Scrolls YouTuber talking about the downfall of Bethesda and watched a video of a lecture given by Bethesda's lead story writer and he said some things that were really disappointing. Definitely explains why recent Bethesda games have been really disappointing. They're turning away from everything that made their games great and ignoring their fans' complaints.
I'm excited to discover this new Scrolls-Like genre of games and this is my first exploration of it. I am really impressed. The gameplay is fantastic so far and I'm really looking forward to more!
This game is no less than a masterpiece. Since I'm an aspiring game dev myself I'm particularly moved by the quality achieved in this project. It's amazing what just one person can achieve when we see so many triple AAA's dumpster fires. I wish great success to this project and its dev(s). Outstanding job!
So I put this game on the back-burner for a whilllle. Mostly because it was a slow and somewhat confusing start. But once I started getting the hang of it, it's surprisingly fun. The amount of freedom it gives the player to do things that way you want is insane. So far I'm having a good time
this game would be great if your camera sens didn't get faster with less fps, i suggest capping it at 60 fps. trust me, i have a high end pc and the performance is not stable at all.
What a crazy game.
Never before have I seen an RPG have fun unarmed combat like this. Man is it a blast to grab someone send them sailing in the air and punching so hard and fast that it creates a shockwave that rips apart 3 other people. The earth magic, man do you feel like Toph from Avatar, you can FLY WITH FIRE, there is so much to do in this game.
Base building? Check
Tons of skills? Check
Fishing? Check
Farming? Check
Cooking? Check
Alchemy? Check
Ok I will say it, this is Skyrim if the people who made it said "what about fun?" all the time adding things. Great game, so far from what I have seen great dev. 10/10 RPG.
A beautiful beginning to a sprawling grand strategy fps action rpg. It feels like a love letter to both oblivion and mount and blade. It brings me joy so I say let him cook. Bravo keep it up.
This game has incredible depth but don't expect a polished experience just yet.
I was running in a cave only to find the bridge i'm on collapses dumping me into the water below, I used the grapleing hook and jumping only to get stuck in a wall for example. There are skills for just about everything jumping/wall running/arcane magic to name a few and the game is incredibly fun, I cant wait to see where the developers produce next, especially when version 1.0 releases.
solid game but in a alpha state. If you want a game thats fancy and polished this isnt it
this is an extremely ambitious project for a solo dev, so many, many things are unfinished
buy on sale/10
It's an RPG made to be Fun, you can get a Dragon mount, or you can drive a Barrel car.
You can use swords and magic, or just beat the shit out of your enemies with your fists.
It's great for what it is, but still has a lot of bugs. There also isn't too much content yet.
Either get this game on sale, or wait a bit longer until it's close to release.
Warning: Once you buy the game, it is addicting
My god, what a work of love this game is. It oozes out of every nook and cranny you come across. Relaxing and stress/pressure free game in which you can do anything you want without the fear to miss anything. Right now the game is much wider than it is deep, but the devs are clearly hard at work to make this a true masterpiece. I highly recommend it!
I was pretty hesitant because of what felt like "grandiose" claims. I was wrong, this is incredibly unique and legitimately fun. The game is very forward that this is a work-in-progress, and there are quirks here and there, but it's so refreshing playing a labor of love instead of a cookie cutter Ubisoft open world game.
In awe that this is made by an indie solo dev. Morrowind meets Runescape meets Skyrim and it's so good. Obviously has some bugs due to early access and small team but the breadth of this project is insane. Haven't had this much fun with an RPG in a long time. Really gives that leveling dopamine hit, whether it's forgaging, mining, running, jumping, one-handed fighting, etc. I hope they do some marketing with game streamers to get more interest in the project bc this is honestly worth more than $20
With how frequently the developer puts out updates, i have very high hopes for the future of this game. Each update contains a TON of new content/bugfixes/QoL improvements. It's playable at its current state, but sets the stage for something much bigger towards completion. You can tell it was made with love and passion.
The bloodline feels a lot like Skyrim, and Bannerlord combined; with various elements from other adventure RPG games.
I personally dislike the art style of this game, and the audio is somewhat lacking, However; this game has only the one individual (to my knowledge) working on it, so with that in mind it looks and sounds pretty good. Overall i would give the visuals and audio a solid 6/10.
The combat in this game is pretty solid, albeit a little janky, and it mostly feels like skyrim combat. Personally i'm a fan of Dark Souls/Elden Ring combat, which has a much more fluid and dynamic combat system. It allowing for much easier attacking, dodging, and defence, without giving players a huge advantage. Because it relies more on the skill of the player, rather than the power of the character, it makes the combat more challenging, and fun. Overall, I would give the combat a 4/10.
The base building and resource collecting in this game is interesting. you have the option of building yourself a settlement but you are restricted to specific plots and buildings, it would be very nice if you could have a wider variety of buildings to place (such as homes, and defences), and be able to place them wherever/however you want. Or, have the settlement and all it's buildings already preset, so that all the player has to do is upgrade what has already been laid out. Either way; collecting the resources to build those buildings is quite the chore, you have to harvest a lot of wood, stone, and metals, and it takes a while to do that. While this isn't an issue for those who do not mind taking the time it will take, it would be much nicer to have alternate methods of gathering up the supplies you need to create and upgrade your settlement. A couple of options include buying materials from stores in other settlements, and hiring people to harvest materials for you. Overall, i would give the base building a resource collecting a 5/10.
Exploration in this game is very basic, kind of table top like Bannerlord, and while this is usually the best option if you have lots of followers (such as soldiers and hired help), and it's definitely the safer choice if you want to avoid building a huge map that has nothing but hills and tress, It greatly takes away from the opportunities that come with having an open world. with an open world, you can have tons of things for players to do and come across, all while still being able to implement random encounters that keep players on guard; and this game has too much potential to travel by map. I might be the only one, but i want to see and explore every inch of this world, discovering all sorts of ruins and points of interest that build on the lore. Overall i would give the exploration a 3/10.
The story line and quests that are there have been fairly well thought out, however there are some side quests and various menial tasks that are either unnecessary, repetitive, or repulsive. a few examples would include sweeping up the streets in various settlements; no one wants to do that, it's boring, repetitive, and the reward isn't worth the time and effort. Cleaning up the stables for a lazy stable boy; again, no one wants to do that, we are here for adventure and fun, not chores. My last example is collecting bugs; this quest isn't actually a bad idea, the issue is that it does not have to be a quest, players are going to explore various areas of the world regardless of quests, and some of these players are going to find the bugs that the village girl wants. Whether they've met the girl already or not, it's safe to assume most will find their way back to her and giver her the bugs that they've collected. She will then say thanks and hand over some sort of small reward as appreciation. In general, the way the quests are laid out feels old school to me, I've played Skyrim, and i play lots of Bannerlord, but the mechanics around quests in those games seem too simplistic for an adventure RPG, and in a way they take away from the exploration by simply telling you where to go and what to do. Going back to Dark Souls/Elden Ring; there are many ways you can keep players on track by using soft progression locks, and hard progression locks. I'm almost 100% sure the developer already knows this but for those who don't: a progression lock basically means that for whatever reason, you cannot progress past a certain point (sometimes it's because of bugs and glitches). In Dark Souls/Elden Ring there many soft progression locks in the form of difficulty. You enter a new area, and either the enemies, natural hazards, or both, are super tough and challenging. Anyone can continue to progress regardless, but it would be simpler, and more beneficial to come back later when you've levelled up and gotten better at the game. Hard progression locks include locked doors that require a key to unlock, contraptions that require a key/object to activate, and blocked paths that must be cleared. Using these various progression locks, you could completely do away with the quest/objectives HUD, and way points, leaving it entirely up to the player the figure out where it is they need to go, and what it is they need to do to advance the story/quest line. The reason you would want to have zero direction for players, is that it adds incentive for them to actually go around and explore the world you've built, because if they know exactly where to go, they could end up skipping all sorts of things (including hidden entrances, and items required to visit secret optional areas). Having zero direction also forces players to use their puzzle solving and map reading skills, making each advancement so much sweeter because they figured it out all on their own. Overall i would give the quests and story line a 5/10.
Finally, the multiplayer of this game is entirely lacking. This is more of a personal opinion, but in the current state of the gaming world, adventure RPG games are nowhere near as good solo as they are cooperative. While many players want to play solo for the challenge, and because they don't want anyone interfering with their personal experience with the game's story; There are many more who would tell you it's more fun to play with your friends than alone, and many more still who are going to constantly bug you about pvp. Overall, I would give the multiplayer a 0/10 (because there is none).
Please do not allow this review to stop you from trying this game yourself, it is a really good game so far, despite my criticisms, I've personally enjoyed it a lot, even though i haven't played much, And i really thinks this game is going in the right direction. Overall, i would personally rate this game 7/10; and i wholeheartedly believe it will become a 10/10 in the future.
If you are the developer, thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my review; i believe this game has more potential than any other game i have ever seen in my life. I know there was quite a bit of criticism in this review but i tried my best to keep it constructive. I also left a lot of suggestions in there, you don't have to take any of them into consideration, but i really do think they will enhance your game; and from what I've seen so far, none of them are beyond your scope of capabilities, it just depend on whether or not you agree with them. Some of the things you are already doing with this game however are things i would 100% consider "new and improved" when comparing it to other games like this, so keep up the good work and give yourself a pat on the back.
I really liked the idea of this game and some of the implemented game play mechanics. I liked the simple but clean art style and I really like the method of using skills to raise them and the discovery of skills/recipes. The biggest problem is the basic controls do not seem to function. The best specific example is consumables and their hot key assignment systems as well as the skills hot bar and assignments not working for basic game play. I had the game brought to my attention by a Splattercat review and knew it was early access but the reviews I had seen failed to describe the true lack of function. When I went looking online for videos or possible solutions I saw many forum questions about similar issues that went back a year which surprised me. Some graphical bugs or weird rag doll bugs etc, not a big deal but keyboard commands and mouse control being bugged or nonfunctional is too much. I can't recommend the game as it is because of these problems. I'd recommend keeping an eye on the game but advise not buying. Since I grabbed it for cheap I'm ok with not refunding it and seeing how this problem is dealt with to revise my review later.
I cannot suggest this game at its current state. I constantly hit game breaking bugs that just kill the whole experience. The most recent one happening before i even left the starting area. I was playing with the grapple when it just randomly disappeared. Unfortunately this seems to be a bug that has persisted for some time. I will periodically come back to check it out but with such game breaking bugs present I cannot recommend it. I've had backed to many games that are eventually abandoned (not saying its been abandoned).
I will change my recommendations when that game is in a better state.
I am blown away at the level of interactivity in this game from a solo dev. The Bloodline embraces its low poly style and adds a ton of flexibility for how you want to play with a load of well-written quest lines, interesting environments, and deep lore. I'm only 4 hours in and strongly feel like I'm barely scratching the surface of what this game offers!
Only downsides from me is that there is no controller supports, hence no Steam Deck functionality. I do notice pretty severe FPS drops in two cases as well; one where about 20 goblins spawned in to attack me, and another in a major hub city filled with NPCs (who all have names, professions, schedules, dialogue, etc). Some room for improvements in that regard, otherwise a really enjoyable action RPG!
it could use some more content, but it is not a bad buy as is, and has a lot of potential.
