Who should pick this up

Worth it if…

  • You loved Dark Messiah's physics-based sword and sorcery combat.
  • You're willing to pay for a 4-hour early access preview.

Skip if…

  • You expect a full 20+ hour RPG experience.
  • You need controller support to enjoy first-person games.
  • You dislike paying for incomplete early access content.
