60 of 298 · most liked firstThe biggest problem this game has is that no one seems to know it exists. If you’re here reading this, you’re already one step away from adding a fantastic action RPG to your library. It’s a premium game with no microtransactions, and it launched with solid gameplay, distinct classes, and a strong endgame. The fact that it hasn’t received more attention is honestly a shame. It offers excellent skill customization, with free respecs at any time so you can experiment freely and really have fun…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The latest update has significantly harmed the overall game experience. The best farming areas were heavily nerfed, making resource gathering much slower and more exhausting than it already was. As a result, collecting the materials needed for crafting items went from being a tedious activity to becoming an extremely tedious task. Instead of adding new and interesting activities, the update only artificially extends the game's duration through excessive grinding. There is an NPC that requires…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have enjoyed my time with the game, and got it for 15€ from Humble Store, so I'll recommend this. Get it from a deep sale. Compared to Last Epoch: + Combat feels snappier, feedback is better. + Character control feels better. LE has that floaty Unity movement. + Effects are cool and look nice. Better than LE in my opinion. - Massive maps waste your time at every turn. Compared to Diablo: + Leveling feels meaningful. + Power creep is managed better. + Currently no monetization schemes such…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not the type of leaving reviews here on steam, but Dragonkin: The Banished deserves it! First of all, do not compare with POE, Diablo, POE 2 (you're going to frustrate yourself). There is already too much infight between them, Dragonkin is not a rival, it's an alternative and really well made. The game after the last update got a massive improvement and things are really fun in the game. - The skill system is pretty interesting and the learning curve can be very engaging. - I'm really…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you love action RPGs and are now considered middle-aged, and you like D2 but not so much D1, and you played quite a bit of D3 when it came out, and you were kinda disappointed with D4 but have a love/hate relationship with it, and you love Grim Dawn and Titan Quest but are kinda meh on TQ2 (it’ll probably get better over time), then this game is for you!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game feels ultra generic, kinda cheap and soulless and much more like a mobile game than a full-fledged ARPG. The loot (so far) feels unimpactful, same goes for the skill points you can allocate after a level up. Moving through a map and doing the little quests is so boring and spammy, that after only 4 hours of playing, it already feels like a chore to me. If you wanna try the game, I would advise you to refund if it doesn't click with you within the first 2 hours. I thought that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember when I played the demo for this game prior to the EA release last year and was like, "wow this game is absolutely terrible." I didn't think I'd ever encounter this game on my Steam recommended again, but since it did at its 1.0 release, I figured I'd read some reviews. Everyone is extremely positive about this game, so I figured, "why not give it a try again, the price is reasonable and if I still hate it I can just refund it." Kudos to the development team. I have no idea what they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too clunky for my taste, especially the skill management, which is also not very varied. The loot is tied to the character’s level and it's quite boring. I’ll wait to see how the game evolves. For now, it’s a no.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating: ★★★☆☆ - Decent Time Played: 21.2 hours Difficulty: Progressive from Normal to Apocalypse Gameplay: - The Ancestral Grid is the standout mechanic, treating skill slotting as a spatial puzzle where keyword synergies matter. It has genuine depth, but it takes hours before you're actually using it meaningfully. - Combat feels punchy and responsive with solid enemy knockback feedback, though the satisfaction fades once you realise most enemies are just speed bumps rather than challenges. -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I originally tried this game simply because it was something new to play in a genre that I've played just about every game in and, at first, it was really solid. The campaign was decent, the gameplay was okay, and it was pretty too. The further I made it in the campaign the worst it became. The voice acting is some of the worst I've ever heard in my 34+ years of gaming and the objectives were literally all the same. I knew exactly when one of the many "protect this NPC" would happen or "hold…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I went into Dragonkin: The Banished a bit unsure. The environments are impressive, but the character art style wasn’t really my thing at first. Then the gameplay won me over. The endgame is surprisingly deep, with 70 bosses—each with their own mechanics—and four different modes to dive into. Build variety is excellent thanks to the four classes, wyrmling customization, and flexible skill combinations. Multiplayer is the best I’ve seen in an ARPG since the PS2 era’s Dark Alliance 2, and the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly thought this would be a much better quality product, after spending a year in early access. Everything about this game is boring. I'm a huge fan of the isometric, loot based RPG's, but this is a truly sad representation. The story is incredibly dull, and the only "Loot" u find is the same set of armor and the same weapons...over and over...with minor stat improvements, as your character progresses in levels. There's no reward for exploration or combat, and the majority of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game could be good if not for the obnoxious repetitiveness. from beginning to end this game will have you running past hordes of enemies to get to an objective across the map only to have to do it immediately again. Boss fights could be fun if you arent bored yet from the repetitiveness. the endgame is the samething but slower. I kind of hate this game, I just Bored-quit the final stage of an endgame map after they made me run back and forth 3 times on the same map and ALL the objectives…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look, if you're looking for a straightforward action game with no frills, this is pretty great. If you're looking for an ARPG, look somewhere else. The game is incredibly rigid, you can't change weapons, classes are gender locked, and there's basically zero buildcrafting outside of the very narrow constraints the game give you. The lance and shield dude will always be the lance and shield dude, the mage girl will always be the mage girl, so the game is really more like Gauntlet with some loot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have changed my review from recommended to not recommended. For some reason I felt soft and supportive despite all the issues the game had. After reading posts from the devs and thinking about my time with the game I have added more negative points and decided that I cannot recommend the game at this state. There are far better options if you want an ARPG. I'll still be checking out updates for this game in the future. - This may be a strange point to start off with but the ever changing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game gives the impression that it should be fun, with quite a bit of effort put into art and layers of gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately, it is let down by poor coding around quest progression and multiplayer stability. For example, my group almost quit thinking that a quest objective was bugged and unable to be completed, only to find out that the quest kill target had to be left alive for a while to do a transformation sequence, and kiilling them before that point simply leaves the quest…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game in this state is a 7,5/10. PROS: Story is very good and captivating until end game. End-game is ok, but still needs improvements. Only hopes and congratulations for the team for doing very good job and hope they will do more things for us. And faster. CONS: We need more end-game stuff. We need more side-quests and/or more rewards for end-game. We still ASAP need more and strict rules for in-game filter and a site where to build it outside the game, then import. We need ASAP a site with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good hack and slash action RPG. Quick update after 1.0 release: The game is now out of early access, the developers added acts 2-3-4 for the campaign as promised. Overall it's a pretty good hack and slash/action RPG, easily recommended if you like the genre. It's fairly priced and it has quite a lot of content, you can easily play this game for 200/300+ hours if you play all classes and love grinding for loot. I hope the developers can add more end game content and maybe more classes…

Then I get an awesome dragon (Wyrmling) pet that can wear armor, carry passives and skills. That's the game. Story's decent and easy to understand, environment's pretty. The city upgrades are a nice addition, every upgrade comes with perks which boost character/dragon/crafting/exp, etc. The inventory isn't messy, equipment and potions take one SQUARE,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like I'm forcing myself to finish the game and to say it's 'okay.' It's not. It's very, very average with some glaring problems keeping it from being great. 1. The maps are absolutely, mindbogglingly large and you if enjoy leveling up your city you will have to explore every corner in the hopes of finding the little interactive nodes for panorama views and relics. There is no reason for these maps to be this big and every single quest is on the other side of the map... but don't worry,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've put in at least 100–200 hours in almost every RPG and ARPG—that's the MINIMUM. That's how I'm able to tell the difference, when I'm writing this review. After more than 63+ hours of gameplay and having completed Story Mode, I played as an Oracle. Here are my experiences so far. If you disagree with anything, it’s just because that’s what “I” think :) PROS: - Dragons. Dragon species and their mutations are everywhere! Of course, there are other monsters too! - The visuals, appearance, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. It is exactly the type of game I wanted it to be with two exceptions. The hex system is a novel idea that is very poorly executed. Just looking at the hex fragments in my inventory is a chore because it's too difficult to distinguish between clusters. Then actually using them also feels like a chore. The effects can be great, but the entire system is painful. The story and voice acting are pretty lousy, but could be overlooked because the game thankfully…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The more i played the more frustrated I got, Im going to preface this with the fact that i have over 3k hours in POE 1&2 and thousands of hours in other ARPGS in general. Loot rarity seems to be tied to your level which makes early game progression ass and uninteresting. I didnt get a single piece of blue gear till i was almost level 10 and have seen 1 rare at level 14. Controller targeting is straight up garbage, combine that with mobs with on death effects that show up 20 minutes into the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dragonkin: The Banished — 7 hours, all four classes to Level 10 on Extreme difficulty. **What's Great:** This game punches way above $22. Graphics rival titles at triple the price — environments, spell effects, and lighting are genuinely impressive. Combat feels snappy and responsive. QoL is best-in-class: instant teleport anywhere with no loading screens, free respec, full stash from the start, build saving, difficulty changeable anytime. Cosmetic monetization done right — no power sold.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good fun Aarpg, nice to have a game that isnt chasing seasonal chnages every few months, has a really good city building with passive bonuses. also a full offline mode
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was about to drop the game mid campaign but i decided to push through just to get the whole picture. Did the picture change? Nope, still boring. The only good thing i can say about this game is the skill system which is different from other arpgs but still lacking because there are very few skills for each class to experiment. Oh and maybe the graphics if you are that type of person. Other than that, the campaign was very boring, filled with things most arpg players hate. Like escort…

How would the Mahjarrat, Dragonkin and Gods fare against Kratos? God of War: RuneScape. Don't tell me you wouldn't play 🎮 the Guthix ⚖️ out of that!
unlabelledView post →This game has potential, but in it current state i would not recommend it. There are some glaring QoL issues that need to be addressed. After some fixing and polish it could be a fun game. Hopefully the development team is working to improve the game. Will revisit this game in 6 months to see if its improved!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The latest update increases the difficulty to improve the grinding experience. Enemy damage goes from 350% to 510%, and enemy armor and health from 500% to 800%. All this to increase loot quality from 460% to... 487%. i'm not understand what is point?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm loving it, 66 hours so far. (Correction: 66.6 hours. Perfect.) Feels & looks good, better than most, imo. I see posts about terrible graphics and no-impact skills and wonder if I'm playing the same game. No bugs, no performance issues. Fantastic QoL including (tadaaa) SKIP THE CAMPAIGN. Which I did. Still figuring out all the systems (maybe because I skipped the campaign, lol), which is keeping me hooked. Didn't know they also made Chaosbane, which I also liked. Apparently I'm the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really amazing game - until I made it to the highest difficulty, Apocalypse. The enemies there are significantly harder than on the next difficulty level and accordingly, some of them can be challenging, but most are still manageable (I've only played the rogue so far). What is not manageable, though, is the environmental damage. Today, I was doing mostly dungeon purifications (on Apocalypse), in the course of which I died a total of 27(!!) times. However, only in 3 out of these 27 times was I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starts off pretty nicely, presents some great features at first, like: - town upgrading as persistent progression with unlocking new features, traders et.c. - hexagonal grid system with runes - potentially infinite builds experiments - double character system - you level up not only self, but dragonling who's always with you and gives additional passively activated skills But after some time you encounter the worst possible downside for an ARPG - absolute lack of gameplay diversity. All…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8.5/10 8.5/10 in coop, probably 7.5-8 solo. This game borrowed some great ideas from Diablo 3, Grim Dawn, and Titan Quest and rolled them into one. It's tons of fun to play (once you get going) and would easily be a 9 or 9.5 for coop if it was less convoluted. Kind of a shame because it does so much so well and then tries shooting itself in the foot with many overly complex systems. The fun factor does outweigh the convolutedness though. Pros: - Combat is just plain fun - Characters…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visions of Mana is really good I'm really happy I got to try it out on stream. I'm absolutely in love with Careena I love her accent, her smile, and it just was surprising to see a game talk about disability discrimination due to her being a one winged Dragonkin. Great game!
unlabelledView post →The only thing that's better than classic ARPG goodness is heroin. Truly, there's something bewitching about mindless slaughter with kabbalistic devotion to numbers, and plenty of developers attempted to master this craft but very few actually delivered on a satisfactory level. Dragonkin: Banished (they really should've called this game We Didn't Care About The Name) will go down in history as yet another failed homunculus. Actually, it will not go down in history at all. Despite there being…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just play Grim Dawn
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah I'm having fun. I am at the more casual end of the action rpg enjoyer experience, never really got into most of them, Titan Quest, Sacred 2, and Grim Dawn being exceptions. I like the ability mechanics that let you experiment easily with different builds. If you are the type of person who plays the same arpg over and over you might not enjoy this but if you are more of the one and done I think you might.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Generally it is a fun game. Multiplayer is possible, which is nice. The story is flat and irrelevant. But what makes it awful to play are the amount of bugs in that game. How often I had to redo things, or crash while in the battle of will on a high stage. That easily kills the fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is simply one of the most underrated games EVER. A must play for anyone that remotely enjoys the ARPG genre. Like Grim Dawn and Titan Quest its not a seasonal rinse and repeat ARPG. No FOMO, no battle pass, no season character resets. Awesome skill grid system and a ton of original ideas. I cannot recommend this game more. Builds start coming online fully at about lvl 30 and feel free to push the difficulty up quite early. At legendary gear phase of your build go straight to Calamity 1…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game in general, but until they add a skill visibility/opacity slider, it's just a no. In the end game your skills just blanket the entire screen and you can't see anything, half the time you can't even see the actual enemies you're fighting, and it makes the already poorly optimized game run terribly.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried POE and Diablo 4. In POE became much overwhemled on what I'm doing, probably the game's already got a lot to give when I came in. In D4, as I start the game I feel like I'm limited on building my character especially with the skill tree. Feels like there is a gap. I already managed to get some legendary and mythic gears but I still feel being walled as I progress. Thus, I started to lose interest. That's D4 at realease btw. Well my point here is, in Dragonkin, as I played the game in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The early part of Early Access was apparent until this big multiplayer update! Major changes for the better here have turned this from a good game to a great game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a hidden gem of an ARPG. If you're an experienced ARPG player, this game will seem like just another average ARPG as you play through the first hour or two. Then as it slowly introduces all of it's mechanics, this is where it shines. Adding skills is like putting a puzzle together in a hex grid. It will slowly expand the hex grid to ease you into it and when you make something powerful, the dopamine hit is awesome. It has the usual dopamine hit of a new piece of gear every now and again…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After fully experiencing the game, I have compiled some personal feedback and suggestions, hoping to provide useful reference for both future optimization and other players. ◇◇Main Story Feels Repetitive◇◇: During the progression of the main storyline, the overall experience felt rather monotonous. The main elements that kept me engaged were the “Eternal Blessing Chest” rewards obtained after defeating mini-bosses, as well as the Dragon King boss fights. Aside from these, whether it was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this arpg, the devs where actively developing the game. Soon the multiplayer is being added and also it can be played offline. A lot of other good stuff. Hopefully enough people will enjoy it so we can have more of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, it was not enough. With Easy Mode mod, I could actually explore the game world and immerse myself more than I would ever have. One of my favourite moments is when I was fighting Dragonkin boss in front a giant throne occupied by a massive skeleton in first underground city. It was amazing. I could never experience it without that mod. I am too easily frustrated.
unlabelledView post →This game has potential to beat both diablo and POE2 in the long run if the devs do this right. Please add cross progression! And some sort of easier way to navigate the interface. I click aroudn alot. Other than that, no complaints. 10/10 for being this new.

I'm not going to make it some kind of epic poem or anything, I'm simply going to say I've enjoyed this more then I did Diablo IV, it's right up there with Grim Dawn and Titans Quest for me in terms of this style of game. I fact, it really gives off GD and TQ vibes. Loved the progression and the challenge of laying out your fragments and skills JUST right. I suspect even after I finish it, this is one I'll go back to a few…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a fun game, but it doesn't do a good job in explaining power and builds though. Here is a friendly tip: -Skip the campaign (don't be deceived, you are basically doing it twice if you do not skip it because you have to do table missions ON EVERY character you play... which is the campaign but broken up into chunks)

unlabelledView post →The game has some fun elements. The combat is fun. The interface is very good. The main thing that needs to be changed is better loot. Even at the highest levels the loot is not good. Way too much common junk. If I am going to grind I want to get something that improves my character. That almost never happens.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll go straight for the head: This is one of the most underrated and most fun games I experienced in a while. Everything about it is surprisingly good and as such, I can calmly recommend it to everyone and anyone that likes aRPG genre(even to some newcomers). It's also very fairly priced and lacks any and every "attention jailer"(seasons, battlepasses etc). Finally, you can play it perfectly fine in either single or multiplayer mode. Neither seems to triumph over the other one. Which is so…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a cheap imitation of D4, that completely misused the graphical ability of UE5. Just like Wolcen wasted the cryengine on their endless boring loop of endgame. What these 2 games have in common? They both removed or abandoned the carrot on the stick i.e. (yang's recurve, dagger of darts, that stupid axe swhord in PoE starforge, that makes these genre survive through many contents. There's no reason to farm anything but a dumb stat stick gears. There's no personality or identity. It's…

Between that and all the Dragonkin... and the way my character choices led to a character who smirks like me during dialogue... I'm hooked.
unlabelledView post →Mediocre and complicated. Buy this on a steep discount and enjoy the first few hours. Dodge mechanic is terribly implemented - it doesnt have animation cancelling so you are always waiting to dodge. Its maddening They did try do some interesting things and I can see the influence of Wolcen in the game, but the movement set is so bad that I wont ever play this enough to enjoy the cool parts
