Story fine. AI meh
The story is fine as are the basic mechanics of the game. The biggest problem I had was that most of the NPCs are pretty much the same character. They all distrust you while gripping onto something tightly with “white knuckles.” They had different names, different roles, but they all felt the same. For an AI-driven experience it was oddly repetitive.

The DM actively cheated
I don’t know if it’s a bug or what but the DM even confirmed that my successful attacks were lethal attacks yet they claim it’s not lethal? That doesn’t make sense, I had finished the opponents many times over and the DM kept us in battle until my character was killed. Every time I had a dice roll it was always a fail, I don’t understand how always losing is fun no matter what. I’ve made 3 characters and same thing everytime.

Limited.
Typically run as a Bard and thus hoped to polish my rust and get back into the swing though provided it had all that was needed. Clearly disappointed. There are so many classes and races, through the ones most notable are not present thus ending my introductory game play until much change is required to proceed further investment of time and effort.
So much for the upgrades for Orcs and what not though no time for Druids, Wood Creatures, Demon Spawn, and YEA the obviously left out Bard. The nerve. Cast away your feeble attempts at camaraderie and hit the books for proper ledger for captivating the players you neglect more than you provide.
Until revisions are made, I bite my thumb at you all. Good Day.

Download only if you want to be bored or spend money
Downloaded the free access…totally useless wandering around a forest with an occasional bandit or wolf for 10 days…I gave it 10 days to see if any changes…none…apparently there is chance to mpreve-for cash (what a surprise) but I won’t be spending any due to the lack of excitement or any active rpg happening!

Limited Scope and functionality
The concept is promising and it starts off strong. Unfortunately, after about a hundred or so messages, the Ai starts to forget established details and the most basic of rules.
In example, it initially did well in introducing, rolling, and integrating a follower NPC, and eventually forgot that she existed; gaslighting me. It would also forget the purpose and scope of items it rewarded me with, rendering them useless.
A big part of DnD is maneuvering the rules and abilities.
I love to spam Eldritch blast (1d10) and selected the eldritch invocation “agonizing blast” which should add my charisma modifier (+3 at the time) to damage rolls. This should all but guarantee a damage roll of 4, unless the target is resistant to force damage. I would regularly roll sub 4s for damage with no addition from my modifier.
Finally, it has a habit, similar to every other Ai that I’ve encountered, of rushing you. It always has suggestions, which is fine, but it can lead to “railroading,” and anyone who has suffered at the hands of a control freak DM is going to hate that.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game, and even bought into the in-app purchase model to continue my adventure, but it’s missing the soul, the foundation, the “enduring legacy” of traditional tabletop campaigns.
It’s novel, perhaps even captivating, but it still has a long way to go.
