this is a good game not a great game or bad game but a good game

Aw man what can I say about this game? Besides the fact that I joined in on beta server that has no quests and no lore or anything what so ever. I still find myself having fun because of how incomplete. I apparently found the area for the log in screen. I also found myself laughing at this secret area where there are bugged enemies that make weird noises at you. there was a group of giants that were moonwalking towards me and were hissing at me like god damn rattlesnakes. i don't undertsand why i find this fun but i guess it is worth the 50 fucking cents i guess. This shit is fun and people will rape you framerate when they dance in a group in front of you and you will lagg like that forever unless you clode the screen and leave. 10 out of 10 we'll bang ok?

I absolutely do not advise to buy this game. When I bought it on sale, the game has a great potential.
But now, with new updates and changes this game really SUCKS.
At first, I bought boundel and started to play it, because it was the game i really liked. I reached 180+ level and started to kill other players. I would like to mention that THERE ARE NO RULES in this game to follow.
When I had 200+ players killed I WAS BANNED BY THE CREATOR FOR BAG USING
Even if I used them, he couldn't ban me because THERE ARE NO RULES TO FOLLOW.
So, the game is really piece of shit now. Don't buy this game. If admin won't like you, your character will be deleted.

"Discover the whole world as you like, no quests or missions."
Bought the game, loaded in, and the first thing it did was point me to a quest to kill 30 zombies.
I found said zombies and proceeded to fight them, only to be killed by each one with ONE OR TWO hits.
I understand it's an "early alpha" game, but this was kind of ridiculous and contradicts the description of the game.

My computer has better hardware than recommended, yet even on lowest settings it's extremely laggy, I don't get why... and takes many attempts to connect to a private server which is annoying. It's still fun though, so I will say yes.

It was ok for a little bit.I find it fun at times, just dont get surrounded by mobs all slowing you down!

Indie game still in developement, and it's getting better with every patch. Always new content and an improvement in physics, mechanics and game stability. Still a lot of work to do until the official release, but thumbs up for sure.
Buy it to help the developers!

2nd Era EDIT: game's been greatly improved with the last update: FPS has been stabilized, lag issues are not a thing anymore (at least not to the point of messing up your hardcore char), and a lot of cool stuff has been added to the game.

This game is made really really bad. Think 1990's

You cant even tell what skills do based on the discription, when you lvl them up nothing happens no stats changes (at least that i could see). I lvled up magic arrow to lvl 4 and it continued to show 1,4 which i assume means 1-4 damage although the spell doesnt say that.

You have to press space bar while highliting shops loot and whatever to interact with them.

(the thing that made me quit)
combat is clunky as all hell. you have to hit a specific key like for example a basic melee attack you hit Q button then there is a little casting bar that charges then your character attacks in the dirrection you are pointing a red line which is how you do all targeting in this game. you cant just use mouse clicks to do basic attacks you have to "cast" your combat attacks. You get this red line when you press some form of attack that is very hard to control when monsters are right ontop of you. Its a chore to play this game becasue the combat mechanics are so horrible. I can overlook all other aspects but the basic gameplay to just kill monsters makes me feel like im working....

game in general is pretty stupid.

The way in wich you sell items, equip items, Toggle run on and off and a number of other features are completely unclear, they are done in a way that is foriegn for most gamers and thus leave you confused and un aware how to do even the most basic of mmo things.

conclustion
if combat were more enjoyable i would have played longer, and may even have enjoyed myself

PROS

you dont have to quest if you dont want to

I`m really enjoying this game so far, and honestly none of the bad reviews were true. It gives you...well it doesnt give you a tutorial but i love games that allow you to understand and learn about a game at your own pace. For a dollar its worth it, even if you dont play very long.

I played this game for a few minutes or .8 hours... however fucking long that is. And I can say that i like it. It has some bad character models and some pretty crappy night textures, but I imagine that is a limitation of the designer. Hopefully he will invest in a better game dev to help spruce up some things. The combat is eh, very boring when you first start off and very clunky. I couldn't use the mouse clicker to attack and instead had to use "Q" and "E." Interactingw with things can be clunky at times, you'll point your mouse over it and nothing will happen till you walk into the sweet spot. Early out, you will get annihilated by the beginning monsters if your impatient. Another thing, FATIGUE IS EVERYTHING! If you run out of fatigue you can't run or fight, and it take a minute to recover. Also if you're overweight in your capacity, you'll burn more fatigue when running. Or at least i think so, maybe the dev will tell me otherwise. A few glitches came my way upon playing, one was two guards who appeared out of nowhere and killed everything in sight. Meaning they killed zombies, behemoths, dragons you name it. I literally just followed them and gained soo much good loot from it. I also hit the monsters with them and gained alot of XP, which boosted me ten levels. We traveled far and wide together, and before i knew it i was filthy rich, and chose to retire.

I like the fact that you can play on your own server and don't have to pay for one. The idea of me spending 3 months on a game only to have the server go down, pisses me off. I hope the dev never changes this, cause this is a good system, and i'd like to get other friends to join me in a private world. Leveling is a bitch unless you have magic guards. you'll be grinding FOR EVER. And i'm playing on maximum hardcore mode, the leveling is jank. All in all i have nothing really to say about the game other than i'm gonna give it some more time to grow on me. for now though, i'd honestly wait and see what a few updates and graphic fixes come.

To the developer if you read this(note if you find any of this hard to program or implement, I understand. these are just some things i'd like to see in the game):
1. Make mouse clicking a form of interaction and combat.
2. Make leveling much faster early game (gets easier once you reach level 20 and can take on level 70's)
3. Make the guards stay in town so no one can become a god adventurer like me in .8 hours of playing
4. Increase fatigue or make it regen faster (seems fixed, but maybe the higher level you are the less it fatigues)

5/10 it isn't the best but i think it can be

*update: there is a glitch where if you don't put your name while creating a character it will load forever. It happened to me while creating a local character for my server. It's no big deal you have to restart, but i figured i'd mention it. I think this was fixed but i don't know.

*2nd update: You can travel in any direction, great! Oh wait there are level 70 monsters inermingled with level 3 monsters... That could use some fixing. or at least make it to where i can see the enemy's level from further away than having to be on top of them. Also as fun as hardcore seems, the wait times get to be really outrageous. i'm waithing 13 hours because i wanted to check the level of a giant gheko but had to get within 5 feet of it to see... sigh

*3rd update: So while on my adventures i decided to buy a horse, an over priced horse. DON'T BUY A HORSE! they use your fatigue when moving for some reason, and move slightly faster than your run animation. Also there are armoured horses, which makes me believe they can die, which for the price would suck donkey shit. But not to fear, i found out you can buy a boat and sail the sea... so once i find that vendor, i'm gonna investigate that. One good thing to the mountables is that they come in many shapes, like a raptor, or a FUCKING DRAGON TURTLE. I haven't bought any of those, but i really want to to see if they fair better than the horses, but i'd guess not. (I've finally got a dragon turtle and it is overpowered, with 180 defense. Also the other animals can move at different speeds, so mounts aren't that bad.)

*4th update: DO THE QUESTS! I know i ragged on the slow leveling in this game, but upon doing some the quests, my level sky rocketed. just doing the beginning quest can make you go from level 5 to 8. But don't expect them to be fair, you can recieve a quest to kill a dragon upon reaching level 10. And dragons are level 154, or at least the one i came across was. Also don't expect variety in the quests, you'll literally recieve the same quest from 4 of the towns.

*5th update: So boating is eh... there are many islands outside of the main land. The problem is there is nothing to do out there but kill the same monstesrs you'd find on the main land. Alos once again, boating takes your fatigue, and the speed is crap just like the horse speed. Actually i think the horse speed is faster than the boat. This wouldn't be a problem if the sea wasn't so FUCKING LARGE! It will take literal hours to make it to one island. Funny enough, there are merchants that will spawn on the sea, and random adventurers will also appear on the islands. SO in short don't waste your money on the boat.

*FINAL UPDATE: (sigh) So after scouring the whole land, killing satan, finding the best equipment in the game (or so i think, i haven't found anything better), and reaching Lv. 30, I really wish there was something else. Also a few of the quests are glitched, either taking all of your health potions or counting 40 zombie kills when you only needed 5 and not allowing you to turn in the quest, or accepting the death of other creatures for it. Also, you can't horde gold, IT FUCKING GOES AWAY AFTER EVERY DEATH IN HARDCORE. Or maybe it just disappears after awhile, I don't know, it really pisses me off cause i had half a mil and now i have nothing. So in final, this game is eh, if there was something to do than i would love it. Skyrim is good because there are sidequests and you can go anywhere, but it has a story to fall back on. Hell even WoW has a fucking story. SO many glitches and bad modeling, but the lack of story took me out of this game. Maybe i'll leave it alone for 4 years and come back to something amazing. Highly unlikely. After everything i've pointed out, if you still want to play it, than go ahead. but i'd wait for a sale, and don't expect anything to amazing. Think a ps2 era game almost. Also where are the forests!? there are like two trees lying about, the land looks barren.

This is a cool game but need so much improvement. I hope it will be much better. Worth to play.

This game is completely worth the $5. Honestly, if you're looking for an mmo with that old-school feel, this is for you. It isn't packed full of features yet, but it does have some fun areas to explore and lots of monster variety so far. You'll spend your time killing monsters, farming gold, gear and mounts for the most part. There's also open-world PVP, item durability, and day/night cycles that NPC vendors open/close shop around. (cant buy items/sell items to vendors at night.)

Things I like:
Item durability/loss.
Harcore mode (if you choose)
Open-world PVP
Difficult monster encounters
Open-class system, without limits. Mix/match skills as you please.
Old-school buffs and skill types. (reflect damage, run speed, protection, etc)
Rune-teleport system. "write" a location in your rune and teleport there any time. Create a rift for other friends to enter, too.
Cool items and durability means you dont get bored because you're always replacing gear.

Stuff I dislike:
Low server population so far, but this will get better.
Not many other features/things to do than grind mobs and pvp, but it is fun.
Occasional disconnect with steam, which will hopefully be resolved. (really rare for me.)

Before you buy this game, realize it is very early in development and it is being developed by a single person.
Boundel is an old school mmo. Really gave me flashbacks to the Ever Quest days. It features an open world, classless progression, and "skill" based combat (No tab targeting).
- Cons -
- The dev is no graphical master, the textures are sub par for todays standards and the models are very low poly.
- The movement is questionable at times, getting stuck an what little clutter is on the ground. There is no jumping and the movement speed is very slow.
- Monsters are pretty unbalanced at this point. Level 22 mobs spawning with starting mobs. I once had a level 300 or so manticore spawn basically right beside town and kill me.
- On death you drop all your money and lose durability on gear. So far, there is no way to repair gear and it is destroyed uppon hitting 0 durability. As the game is heavly based on gear this can become really annoying with constant deaths.
- The server pop is usually under 10, which is very unfortunate.
- The ui is very limited and confusing at times. Lots of information on how stats work or what your total stats are is just not show.

- Pros -
- There is a lot of potential with the skill system. Unfortunately it's just really limited and bland at this point.
- There is a tonne of world to explore (albeit limited right now on what there is to find there and the diversity in locations)

This game has POTENTIAL, so much potential but unfortunately it's just not there yet. As of writing this review the game is on sale for about a buck. If you are at all interested I say pick it up to help support the dev but don't expect anything special right now.

- Things I would like to see in future updates -
- Better and clearer UI with more information available to the player.
- Item sorting in inventory.
- A way to repair gear. Items not being destroyed at 0 durability (Leave them as unusable).
- A better tutorial for new players.
- A way to obtain or fill out an ingame map.
- More races and character customization.
- Graphical improvements across the board (Models, textures, animations).
- Performance improvements.
- Standard attributes worked into the leveling system.
- More frequent quests.
- Party/grouping/guild systems.
- Combat balancing.
- Increased duration on buffs and summons (Longest as far as I can tell is 90s on a buff and most are almost half that)
- Hotkey on item pouch

Remembers me of old days nice.

Bought it for 0,99 eurocents can't go wrong that can't i?

Bit of old school but i like it. Controlls are bit clunky bit after while it's no problem.

Still bugs and need improvement but it's playble and fun if you like old school.

Graphics for small cheap indie game is not that bad.

Fun to play.

This game is EA and its understandable that its not polished. Almost 30hrs.
Expect:

    • Clunky combat
    • Crappy Terrain
    • FPS drop after 5hrs+ in game
    • Bugs, bugs... and BUGS
    • Though the game has potential. Give it a try and discover its upside.

I bought this game in order to support the devs. I am a huge fan of MMO's and like to see indie games of the genre succeed. I wouldve NOT recommended this game but I would like it to get good reviews.

North Korea Is…

Ok before we start I am reviewing this taking into context that the game cost em as much as a packet of cheap crisps.

This game for its price puts many more to shame , yes its buggy yes you get scenery clipping but its addictive and a fun to wonder round.

Did I mention it has boats , mount combat , flying mounts?

You cannot complain for a game that costs less than a bus ride

Good time filler

A simple but fun MMO. Small community.

It reminds me of where I came from as an online gamer, and has an oldschool feel to it.

Pro's
Easy to get into.
No microtransactions or P2W.

Con's
Limited Content. Highest level armor is level 2x to from what I've found, bar a few mounts.
Maxing out Fire Tornado for "I-Win-Button"

I realize that this game is early access, and I have high hopes for it. With some polishing, this could become a great and fun game that will stick in the back of the head. Offering fun memories and nagging pains, much like Ultima Online.

Completely honest review! Edited to be more consise.

Pros:
-Its new
-Game world is fairly large
-Landscape is diverse. I haven't found any duplicate areas, just not many different buildings and npcs.
-Each armor piece is unique
-Calming music

Cons:
-Has many memory leaks. (about 1.5hr until game will lag pretty horrid)
-Combat is awkward.
-World saving sound will drive you nuts.
-Lacks variety. (npcs, shops, gameplay, enemies)
-Character customization isn't very custom.
-No player base.

Right now its in "Early access" or in-game says "Beta". This is early alpha at best. Does the game have potential? Yes. Overall it can actually become a fun addicting game. In the games current state, this game isn't worth playing.

Graphics are okay
There are many bugs.
Hitpoints are not synced at all!
Fed up of developers using the point and turn phase it does not work at all its too much fidgeting why not just implement a key that turns the mouse cursor on rather than you have to press left click to look??
Kinda like it but not much to impress me yet still an unfinished game also lots of server bugs too such as crashing etc.

2/5

Just wanted to say I love this game! I have played for 5.7 hours and crushed it and loved every minute of it. After I hit level 81 I was bored cuse no one else was on >.< so i started atttacking a guard... he teleported and hit me for 5178 damage i think... my karma dropped to 0 and ... i think i lost all me hard earned work. and did I mention its hardcore so i have to wait an hour... Even though i would have not been as bored if some other people were on! all and all i enjoyed those 5 hours of my life and plan to play some more. Did I mention I'm third in the leader board hahaha but whos talking note? Lets get a krewe together and do a Bit of Role play! two thumbs up!

This game is unfinished. However it has potential and for 2.99€ (discounted) it is a good deal.

It lacks alot of things to be honest, for instance there is no character screen where you equip items. Instead you equip all your stuff from inventory which u cannot organize that well. In the inventory there is no visual represantation of items, which would be a huge +, all you see is text. The items however change the appearance on your character when you equip them which is nice.

Now I'm not a grammar nazi, I'm not a native english speaker. But goddamn the grammar is bad, I mean look at the description, this sentence has struck me - Discover the random generated open world as you like with free quests. What the fuck ? It should be - Discover the randomly generated open world, with tons of quests. Or something along these lines. Free quests ? so I will have to pay for them in the future or what lol :D...

The Visuals are pretty good for a 2.99€ game. It has native 21:9 support which is a huge plus from me. You can customize your local server, ie how many mobs spawn, modify weapons and armor.....

There is no map in the game, but you can zoom out so far you actually see the whole world which is somewhat cool. But I would still prefer a map over this.

Monster variety is pretty good but their spawns seem to be pretty random and inconsistent. You can find level 2 monsters and level 25 monsters in the same spot which is a huge problem if you're above level 10 (thats when monsters auto-attack).

You can use every skill there is from level 1 if you have enough mana for it. Ranged combat (including spells) works ok with the mouse targeting. However close combat is so bad its not even worth using it. Also it would seem I cannot bind numericals above qwertzuiop, I can only bind numerical keyboard next to arrow keys which use useless because you have to use mouse to target spells.

No classes which is fine with me, but getting the ability to use every skill from the get go is just weird.

Before saying anything about the game i must note that the game seems to be still in early alpha state of development.
if i can describe the game in one sentence i would say "full of bugs and lack of several key features".

Pros
Big zone to explore (i ssume there will be more in the future or this is just the first island)
Lot of equipment items
Lot of mounts
Open skill choice (you can chose to use any skill starting at level 1)
It seems they are giving you the power to name the map zones (runebook)
It feels nice just go and kill whatever you find (you found a turtle? go ahead, kill it, it may drop a dark lizard mount if you are lucky)
The game is still on development

Cons
The battle system is not good enogh (or maybe not good at all depending on the player)
There is no map so you have no idea where you are and how to find things
Really hard to find out how dangerous is an enemy (usually the level is not displayed)
Server disconnection (i got disconnected several time god knows why because is not my ISP)
The interface is really bad (and i am being nice about it)
Is not sandbox but either have something to follow (no story, literaly the quests mentions you as a hero, god knows why, and expect you to kill or collect something or both, and usually they are bugged and are unable to complete)
No ingame bug report system making even harder to colaborate.
Almost no players (should be fun to play with friends)
Could be more but i cant remember everything i saw

The game is not expensive, you could try it without espending lots of money like many other games, so if you have doubts about the game just try it and if you dont like it remember that steam lets you get your money back before the first 2 hours of gaming or 2 weeks of buying.

Hope this help you decide.

EDIT:
After some more hours of gameplay I finally finished exploring the entire map, it is not huge, is not even big, could fell big at the beginning but is really small, most of the land is empty, no monsters, no trees or something else.
Found a "secret" location (you can only access through the (I think) only usable door/portal in the game, inside was an enemy named "Satan" and it was impossible to kill for me at level 70. It was kind of disappointing, I was hoping to find a portal to another place or something, maybe I need to kill Satan first.

Anyway, I recommend the game only because it could be better in the future.

Yoko the Tiny Space Goat
Yoko the Tiny …

It looks nearly as old as Everquest, and I honestly thought it was until I looked at it's "release date".

So far, the cons are well, it gets laggy, the controls are horrible, it's a pain to talk to a NPC, it lacks a lot of things, like enemy/NPC variety, I have only seen 2 players through my time playing, horrible character customization (the characters look hideous as well) and the world save sound will drive you nuts, even if you only played for like 10 minutes.

And well, the pros...

Calming music, combat's okay, a little odd though, diverse landscape, LAN servers, every piece of armour is unique, the game is rather cheap, and you can do whatever you want.

Honestly, for now, I do not recommend it, the game does have potential but as of now, it's not much of a good game, it's fun for a little bit but eh..

EDIT: You can no longer play singleplayer. "MMO by myself" was kind of the only point of this game, and now it's just a mediocre MMO you can play for cheap. Go play literally any F2P MMO instead.

It's worth the five bucks! (three, for me - got it on sale). It's not the best game I've ever played, by any means, but is a perfect game for chilling while I watch TV or unwind after work. Think of it like 3D Diablo or Diablo 2. You're just wandering around randomly generated terrain, killing monsters to get loot and gold and make yourself powerful enough to kill stronger monsters. Terrain gen is decent. Controls are stodgy, with an active aiming system for the combat that's just a bit clunky. Lots of mounts, and apparently includes a taming system. Gear's fairly varied, all shows up on your character, and looks pretty good. No class selection, so there's freeform character building. Enemy models are good. Animations are a bit weak. You can play singleplayer, which I find delightful.

/Not recommended. Game could have potential with alot more work. Only one race. Male or female. Limited character customization, graphical issues, no crafting element, and A.I. interactions are terribly narrated. Quests are confusing due to lack of information and after first quest already in Journal at start of game, more are hard to find. Definately difficult to figure out locations of areas with no map.Not sure what the purpose of the game is except to frustrate the player.

A little buggy, but it is the type of game I have been looking for. Reminds me of Project Gorgon a little. I got it on sale for 3.49, but I would pay 5 dollars for it. Probably not much more than 5 right now though. Hopefully there are regular updates.

if you ever wanted to play stripped down version of UO without the complexity this would be it. It's simple and straight to the point, and it was only a dollar.

they just need to fix all the graphical glitches and bugs otherwise it would easily be a 10/10 game.

The very first quest is to kill thirty zombies within an hour... and they can kill you in one reasonably lucky hit. The quest is not impossible, but dying an estimated hundred or so times to complete the very first quest strikes me as rather imbalanced. Isn't the point of these games to live through a fight?

One disconnect every 2-3 minutes, even on the local server, playing alone. 10/10
Also, the best part is when you log back in, you're dead and your stuff lost durability because of that.

I was silly, just bought this game for the hell of it as it was dirt cheap, didn't think I would like it, am disgusted with myself for buying this trashy game.

Terrible game, not worth playing even if it was free. Can't even reconfigure keybindings. So Iam stuck with Q for attack and can't reassign it to a mouse button if I want and space for interact. It looks terrible as well, a very ugly looking game. I'd class it as visual torture.

Sure I got it for only .49 US cents.
Decided to ask for refund just on the principle of it.

Absolute trash of a game.

Game has potential, but what game doesn't. The world is pretty empty, and only has a few good farming spots that you have to spend hours finding.

It will take an inital investment of time to learn the game. The most players I've ever seen is 4. And without more areas to hunt the world could get crowded very quickly.

I think the Developer is an extremely talented and creative guy.

Hopefully, in the future we will see more areas to hunt, instead of mostly barren world.

Ideas behind this game are very exciting. I am fan of non target open world full/partial loot PVP games and unfortunatelly there is not enugh titles. I found this game while I was searching Darkfall like MMO's. Current state of the game is not enough for smooth gameplay however for one man game it is successful enough.

Pros
-mounted combat
-taming system
-open world PVP and criminal system
-non target skill based combat

Cons:
-lack of population
-cluncky combat
-need some performance updates

In conclusion, with current cheap price, it worths. This game has potential but need more players and improvements.

I don't know if this game actually plays for anyone else, but I own a computer shop and on ANY of the computers i have tested it on it consistantly crashed or becomes unplayable in a number of different ways within 5-10 minutes. I had given it a chance over and over again, but after 20 crashes interupting all the players involved in this lan game it just wasn't worth the headache. Ive experienced everything from the interface disappearing and not coming back, to prismatic vector based graphic glitches that wont go away, but mostly just raw game stopping crashes that exit to an error window.

This game has potential, but it is extremely far away from that point. I honestly think the game should've stayed in Early Access status, at least when I played it. Just.. wait a few years. Or months. This has potiential to be an... okay game, so far.

Bad
- Terrain popping up from 5 feet away. Glitchy graphics.
- Tons of invisible walls/pillars
- Monster name, level and hp only shows up when very close to them.
- Manual aim system that is more suitable for melee combat.
- Ranged combat is much weaker than melee.
- Requires online connection even for LAN play.
- No map.
- *Update: The advertised Local Server option has been removed. As this is the option that attracted me to purchse this game in the first place, this is a big nono for me.

Good
- Able to close a quest anywhere.
- Find and tame mounts from horses to deathclaw-like creatures.

[UPDATE: 5/01/2017 9:41p]

It's BACK! Private/Dedicated server access is back although there doesn't seem to be any admin functions or a server-side gui or command box (windows) that shows the server running and any important info like most servers do, but I believe the dev mentioned an actual dedicated server upddate/release was coming soon which may add the missing admin functionality.

Since I can host my own server again, I'm changing this review to a POSITIVE one. The game itself reminds me of Everquest in some ways. There are some weird controls such as attacking, and the 3rd person over the shoulder view, but give it 10 minutes of playtime to get the hang of it and then you'll start having fun.

Thanks dev for returning the ability to host our own servers.

[UPDATE: 2/28/2017 6:35p]

OK... An update. The dev has confirmed that the ability to host PRIVATE/DEDICATED servers is indeed no longer possible, but the features will return after the Mac & Linux OS version of the game releases. As such, I am a little relieved, but STILL since one of the main selling points for me was the private/dedicated server hosting capability, I cannot in good conscious alter my review from Negative to Positive. As of now this game is no longer playable to myself, my wife and my friends all of whom played on my dedicated online server.

Once the features that were the main selling point to me return, I'll change this review as necessary.

BEWARE!!!!!!!
New update appears to REMOVE dedicated, private or locally hosted servers! If so stay AWAY if you are expecting that! I purchased this game because I LOVE online RPGs but I ONLY purchase games where I can host my own online private/dedicated server, hence WHY I purchased BOUNDEL when it was first released. Today with the new patch they stripped that feature out and it is now Online official server ONLY! Had this been the case from DAY 1, I would have NEVER bought the game. They also had the feature to build your own maps and such. That option has also been removed. Boundel is now no different than WOW or Guild Wars and a poor one at that (when compared to those titles).

I have posted, but have NOT received a response to this new decision. If they continue to operate this way, I have demanded a refund because the program no longer operates or contains the features it originally did and which sold me on the game when I first saw it listed on Steam. If they wish to remove those features, then they need to compensate aka offer a refund to those who purchased the program for those features. Had they NEVER offered the ability to host your own server and to build your own maps, I would have NEVER spent my hard earned money on this game!

BEWARE!

Game has decent mechanics, it allows for some pretty good build customization. Taming in particular is quite nice. The world is a bit sparse though at the moment.

I don't particularly care for this type of open world pking, fortunately there aren't many people on since you're pretty much guaranteed to be jumped by higher levels as soon as your newbie protection wears off. This is only problematic since gear permanently breaks after losing durability and there's no way to repair them yet. For some though I guess this could be a plus instead. It's not for me though so I won't be recommending it.

Boundel is a game that I wish was already finished. You can see the direction the game is headed in, and it’s a good one. The system for combat and skills is fun, and simple to learn. I look forward to seeing what else is done with the game. I’ve only played a few hours, but you can roam around a lot and find things beyond your level pretty easily. (I believe I’m 18 and I’ve seen a 150+ dragon on a short walk).

This is a game to play with a friend, and make sure you bring a shovel, by far the best thing I’ve ever done in this game. Grave robbing is pure profit, legal, and you find crazy rare items with a pretty high chance. The game is updated regularly, and the game is clearly a passion project. It’s worth the investment.

This game is surprisingly fun for how rough around the edges it is. TL;DR: I would recommend it for any fans of Everquest era MMOs.

The Bad.

The game is quite buggy. Clipping is poorly executed, and often you will find your character hung up on a pebble or a random hill slope. Once, upon logging back into the game with a character I was previously playing, all of their inventory was erased. Just gone. Sometimes quest NPCs get stuck in solid objects where you can't click on them to get a quest. Some enemies are undamagable, because they are stuck in some kind of permanent stasis.

The game doesn't seem to have any cogent plot. Granted, I didn't play deep into the game, but for the first four hours, the quests were just randomly generated grind quests. There was no story. No explanation for why the castle is surrounded by spiders, skeletons, skeletal mages, gargoyles, evil mushrooms, elf witches, goblins, ratkin slaves, elementals, and strange beasts. Those are just all things that are out there, hanging out, waiting to be killed (again, like old Everquest zones).

The Good.

The progression is actually well paced and satisfying. Even with a full erasure of my inventory, I was able to buy some basic gear and keep on levelling. I chose melee as my skill, so levelling didn't involve tough decisions. And the levels and gear upgrades really made a difference. The game also had a simple crafting mechanic that offered some valuable item upgrades as well.

Bought this game back when it cost something. Server always ran badly and the only active players were PvPers. The game itself is really bad but if you can endure the bad gameplay you'll be entertained for a few hours maybe. The developer started a new game, turned off the servers and made this one free with local servers. I will never purchase from this developer again.

When I first played this game it was generally unfinished and to be bluntly honest, broken. Menus/interactions were nonfunctional or bizarrely glitchy, it seemed like plenty of work was still needing to be done. I imagine not much has changed.

This game was pretty fun for a few hours. Getting killed and losing everything ruined it for me. I did have fond memories of farming a bunch of skeletons to power level and from that I learned some neat tricks. I don't really know the state of this game now after it got free but I fairly enjoyed myself with this game.

I bought it for $5 but you went free to play ?
the reason I didn't refund in the first place is that I hope that your game gonna better.
Now what ? you went "Free to play" and betray my expectation.
I demand my money back or have some Exclusive items for someone who bought the game.
And that Exclusive must worth my $5.
I can't even connect the server !
Make my "Single player" and you'll have better review.
I'm really frustrating toward this problem.

This game still needs a lot of work but yet the dev has already left. I along with a lot of other people bought this game to support the dev because we thought it was going somewhere but nope he took the money and gave the game away for free. Getting stuck in the terrain when even walking on a little hill. Crafting is boring. same loot over and over again when killing bosses. I feel there was supposed to be a lot more added to this game but seeing as the dev decided to bail on this game to work on another game and that tells me a lot about this dev.

Singleplayer, unfinished game that still runs after exiting the game, the game might be fun to play but i would not recommend it.
But its a free game so you could give it a try if you got nothing better to do.

This review has been updated, so as to reflect my own experience with the game with fresh perspective.
The game is made in the old style; which has its own certain charm and surely brings back many memories of earlier times.
It is my understanding that the game is made by a single part-time developer. That being said, it does have its shortcomings (all games do, after all), especially considering the constraints of most single, part-time developers.
That being said, the game is a complete, lovely experience, overall. Nowadays, the game is single player only, unless you either start a server, or find and join an existing one. The original, existing one that once was, sadly, is no more. That is hardly a deal-breaker though, because the game is fun as is, simply as something to jump into and explore a lovely, old school, fantasy world. The game is free after all; which is quite a bargain to me, for what it is.
There is a plethora of spells, a good amount of skills and enough crafting skills, not to mention a huge amount of individual levels for each of these - that makes progression very worthwhile, builds can be extremely varied, and it will take a long time to max most any one of the skills.
Coming-up with new and interesting builds is part of the fun of it for me, although I do tend to hover somewhere around Battle Mage Cleric whenever I can.
Having said that, it does not take long before your character is feeling powerful, at first gaining dominion over those persistent and pervasive undead. Although, that's not where you have to start; is simply one option.
You can tame a great variety of beasts, ride them and even tame some humanoids.This can lead to some interesting, and rather hilarious, moments.
The amount of items are varied enough to where it feels rewarding to discover something new, comparing its feasibility with current equipment.
More could be said, but it's better to simply experience it. My character is only level 20 currently, and there is SO much more to see, do, etc. Oh, did I mention you can buy a ship and sail around?

Old Review:
One of those indie games that could've been fun. Definitely needs a lot more work put into it, but that isn't happening at this point.

Initially when I bought this game, it was in early access and the best part was it had multiplayer. Now the development of this game has finished and it has lost a lot of good things in that process which obviously includes the multiplayer part and it's free to play. I don't mind the free to play part but removing the multiplayer content from it was a big blow in everyone's face who bought the game by spending their cash. Now I will not complain that I spent lots of money or anything like that I will be honest I bought it on a sale still I gave my two cents to support the developer hoping that this man was actually going to keep the development going on and probably add new contents too and I was ready to buy expansions and other things as well to encourage these or this guy.

Anyhow long story short I won't say I will not recommend this game to others cuz now it costs $0 so if ye have nothing good to do then you can just download it and play and if bored uninstall it like many others.

I do not have a lot of playtime. I picked this up a long time ago and tried it a few time when it was still a multiplayer game. It was never bad but it was just there. It really never got me to want to keep playing. It had a small file size and the system requirements did made come back to check it out a few times but with the quality of other low-end mmo out there it just couldn't keep me invested. I just went back as combing my backlog and see that its a single player game now with mmo functionality and systems. I'm sure there is a lot who like this game especially it being free to play. It has working systems and for those who just solo in mmorpgs anyway it isn't that big of deal. For me who actually paid for this as its always annoying when said product goes free-to-play and then ditches the overall scope of the game. I love rpg ad have played a number of mmo but if you stripped a mmo of its multiplayer it doesn't make it an enjoyable rpg. Its a single player game with multiplayer mechanics and that is not enjoyable in my opinion. On top of that it was a barely average mmo to start with with minimal player base. I can't recommend this but if you want to try it at least it's free now.

Pretty terrible example of an MMORPG. So bad in fact they had to drop the MMO, i'm not sure who wanted this as a single player game but it's just not working out for me. Hard pass.
