    I hadn’t even heard of this game til now. maybe that lack of marketing was a factor.

      Obviously different marketing preferences, but I hadn’t stopped hearing about this game for months

        The marketing really seemed to focus on the story, which definitely seemed like a bad idea.

        “We came here to stop Sandrak from winning the Everwar.”

        That line got blasted at me a thousand times. Who’s Sandrak, and who cares? Why are teen fiction writers taking charge of the war’s name?

      I think releasing right between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Armored Core 6 was a bad idea.

    Also, this is something new and different. FPS games have been my go to for years now. A FPS with abilities and magic instead of guns seems like it could be fun. Something like a simple multiplayer demo could let people get a taste of what this is and try out. I likely wouldn’t drop $60 on it just to try it out. But I would buy it after playing if it was fun and offered a different experience.

      I was thinking the same thing. It would have been a good gamepass game. Especially since there was almost no marketing for it from what I saw lol.
