A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Second this. What broke it for me was the amount of absolutely pointless fights while traveling. And you travel a lot, as the name suggests.

I get trying to make an old school, grindy RPG, but it just fell flat.

Grimstone from UFO 50 is the game I point to for how to do a retro RPG well. Hell, all of UFO 50 is fantastic, I home there's a sequel.
