Monsters roam instead of staying put, predators follow their prey, and your bird-like mount steers you toward the target.
The launch broke records. Capcom sold more than 8 million copies in three days, faster than any Capcom game before it, and the day after release more than 1.38 million people were playing at once on Steam.
Then things went downhill. PC players complained about performance even on high-end machines, by summer 2025 recent Steam reviews had sunk to "Overwhelmingly Negative", and from April to June it sold just 477,000 copies. A major patch with PC engine improvements came out in January 2026.
Critics received it warmly and many praised the story, though some reviewers found it too easy. Critics give it 88 on Metacritic, and players leave 53% positive out of 203,917 reviews. By our Recommended Score it is #456 of 4,736 games.
