I didn't really enjoy exploring Mistlands due to how frustrating the mist mechanic is even with the wisp light (torches and mistwalker sword are like... bad). The terrain is too jagged and uneven with shorelines being super sheer so water can be more of a death trap then in other environments.

The progression is off putting as well since a lot of it requires getting 5 purple cores which can be rather rng in both finding a dungeon in the mist (sometimes easier when 2-3 seekers attack you) and getting said cores from the dungeon itself. Feather cape takes too long to fully acquire as opposed to other capes imo (requires finding the dverger extractor, setting up sap collectors, finding a dungeon(s), finding 5 purple cores and then creating / dismantling the 2 buildings needed for the cape.

I feel like the environment could use some spawners for the enemies that drop royal jelly in the outside areas with perhaps an odd seeker to spawn as well.

The things that I did appreciate was having only dverger extractors to find as opposed to a whole new metal that may require multiple trips like iron, silver, etc... and also I like the black marble as a nice building piece. The weapons are alright but oddly you can't fully upgrade them and sometimes the upgrade values in damage are very slight + some balancing could be done.

Magic staffs / 1 crossbow being introduced so late in the game with new skills is slightly off putting to me as well. I feel that their is a slight disconnect.
