The Lantern of the Laughless Saint

its a neat game but i think it needs a few more bugfixes before its really playable. when i started up the game for the first time it was lagging really badly to the point i had to reset the game i was getting maybe 4 frames a sec but it looked like less than that. after resetting that mostly fixed it but i was still getting a bit of lag. i joined up with a friend and got through a bit of the starting area and then it took us a moment to figure out how to equip a weapon (its hold f after equipping it in the inventory) but the enemies seemed to go invisible after death 100% of the time for him and 25% of the time for me so looting skeletons and slimes was annoying. then i fell through the map and there was no kill box or tp threshold so i just kept falling hopefully reloading a save fixes it but that was like the 3rd time we had to reload in an hour so i just called it there. it looks like its a fun game but in its current state id wait a bit to get it.

Scratching that Elder Scrolls itch and with a unique and interesting setting. The game has co-op, a detailed open world with lots to explore and most importantly: Freg 🐸

Incredible writing, very intriguing. Decent gameplay, despite much jank as can be expected from a game at the start of early access. The music is interesting. The world is fascinating. I very much look forward to seeing more of this setting. What if the real lantern was all the audience members we found along the way?

Esoteric and jank (affectionate) Only thing I find truly frustrating so far is that ranged enemies back away from me faster than I can reach them with a melee, which is really annoying. Luckily that can be fixed with levelling up.

I've completed a couple of quests with in an hour or so. Love that you can get a "house" really quick from a quest. Graphics and environment are great. Love that so far NPC's are fully voiced. I do have one complaint, the map needs more work, specifically more detail.... I constantly get lost in the first town. But so far, I would recommend this game if you like the no hand held game play of Marrowind!

This is a seriously impressive game for such a small team. They've really made a cool world with awesome map design. When you first start out, you might compare the island to games from the elder scrolls series and think it's a bit small, but there is depth beyond what you can imagine. There are tunnels and structures hidden among the trees that will amaze you and reward you with deadly combat and loot. The lore of the world seems deep and inspired, clearly thought out rather than hastily written as checkbox on a list. The quests, like the trailer says, vary from interesting and moody to very silly and often very obtuse. Because the game is in early access there's still quite a few rough edges in terms of game balance and glitches, but the team is working fast to fix holes and patch bugs while still releasing content updates. I commend their zeal and hope it lasts until 1.0. If you're on the fence about getting this game, you must check up on it again in the future because it's only going to get better. Also, I asked in the discord server if they were going to add more hammers to the game and then they added more hammers to the game. Instant 10/10.

awesome sauce. Multiplayer works great now
