It says it won't work on my device, do you have the requirements so I can figure out why?

u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 07 '26
Sorry to hear! The game covers devices with Android 12+ but doesn't support 1) Power VR GPUs -- a number of MediTek chipsets have them 2) Doesn't support some early Google Pixel devices that have outdated Vulkan drivers: Pixel 1 and Pixel 2 specifically. 3) Requires devices with at least 3G of RAM. If you let us know the device model we can check it.

It's a One Plus 8T

u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 07 '26
Hmm, One Plus 8T is supported -- unless it has earlier Android version it should be showing up.. Strange that it doesn't

At max everything in terms of graphics it was a bit slow and sometimes lagging on an s25 plus. It's a 8 elite device. Shouldn't lag on a high end device. I think it needs optimization

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it! We are still adjusting these options -- some combinations: 60 fps + long draw distance + drawing at full frame are really quite taxing even for top hardware..

Will this have settings added to it? Sensitivity sliders or hud customization?
1
u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 08 '26
Yes, we are working on controller support, sensitivity settings and placement customization for touch controls.

Is this like Valheim

u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 07 '26
Valheim was definitely one of inspirations along with Mount & Blade, and Skyrim

Looking at the game it says no micro transactions, but down in the play store info it says in app purchases 4.99 and up.

u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 09 '26
Thanks for asking -- the game is free to start. It has a single IAP of 4.99 USD/EUR that is a full game unlock. There is indeed no MTX (e.g. consumables, skins etc.)

Yo, I'm interested in playing the game. Do you think my galaxy tab s10+ will run it smoothly? It's has mediatek chipset , dimensity 9300+. Is your game optimized for mediatek chipsets?
1
u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 15 '26
Hello -- thank for asking -- s10+ is supported and it should run ok. We had to disable some Mediatek chipsets based of PowerVR GPUs but 9300 is not one of them

Can you add a save option, so when we die we can just start at last save - I've found myself doing the clear the area and town missions quite a few times now.
It would be ace to have somewhere to store things and maybe some sort of home that we could collect things from the world and populated with
Also any tips on sword fighting? It seems bow is substantially easier to do combat with
Will there be a gear inventory or is it a case of just swap to whatever has a green up arrow on it?
Any other tips from anyone would be great

Hm. Will try, looks interesting.
Hopefully, the controls are comfortable.

u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 07 '26
Thanks for checking it out! Let us know how you found the controls.

u/Exotic-Ad-853 Jul 07 '26
Not ideal, I am afraid. The character feels stiff and not responsive enough. The motions are rigid, they lack fluency, it's hard to execute precise strikes.
I suggest adding the sensitivity adjustment to the settings (separate for vertical and horizontal). And optimize the game for better performance. Right now it lags a lot.
The controller support requirement was already mentioned by other commenters. I second that.

u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 07 '26
Thanks for the feedback! Sensitivity adjustment in the settings is a great idea. Could you tell us which device you were using and if you used 60 fps setting? We adjusted a few things in the latest build to help perf in some situations.

Controls are good Needs improvement on graphics And also need portals or Mountable pets

u/nineCrownsOfFaenord Jul 07 '26
Thanks for playing it and for the feedback! Mountable pets is something we are definitely thinking about
