Wizardry-Style Goodness
Adam Augusta
This game has some dastardly puzzles. One thing that's really special about this title is that the developers clearly prioritized making a series of puzzle challenges out of novel mob encounters, with a degree of escalation that always keeps it fresh. The puzzle elements are well-introduced, and the magic-based hint system managed to avoid ruining the atmosphere. With a setup like this, they still somehow managed to create a system that let's you identify an "angles" for optimizing your party's strengths, to incredible and often necessary effect. Few RPGs manage to yield such a satisfying payoff for your self-directed strategizing.
Slow pacing, no hand holding
Monkeyah2
The core mechanic is good if you're into these kind of games. I got bored because the pacing was unbearably slow. I had only learned how to set the walking speed to fast after I got out of the crypt. Afterwards, I committed suicide by releasing an ice golem from its prison. The game is punishing and slow if you didn't already have an interest in these games.
It's cool but...

I like the idea of this game it's fun and all. But I've encountered 2 game breaking glitches in just the crypt. I had to restart so many times. Please fix.
Graphics and wizardry
Dybbic
This game can be very slow and can tend to get very difficult fast. It is a great game for the phone! Graphics are amazing and yes, it is slow. But once you progress, the action ramps up quickly. Watch for the puzzles, if your beyond 5th grade, you should do fine.
A real game for real gamers.

Not for tap tap tards. This game is fun, creative, and visually stimulating. The areas to be explored are just wicked cool. Having 7 party members gives a lot of flexibility for main character specialization. Biggest assets: Stimulating, but not impossible, puzzles. Starts off easy and progresses to challenging. The game has a really great progression which includes both puzzle difficulty and battle strategy. Varied AI strategies (monsters have unique battle tactics) This makes for fun, engaging, fights. Beautiful zones to explore. I cannot brag enough about the scenery. GREAT job for a mobile RPG. Suggestions for improvements: When enemies are far away, automatically engaging in tbt combat mode can be slightly annoying, because the monsters sometimes don't even come to fight. This consumes a lot of time waiting for each monster's moving turn. Even though the player has a lot of options for play-through, the difficulty of monsters and puzzles in each dungeon unfortunately dictates a *mostly* linear play order. This is acceptable. However, the player should be better instructed of this play order. For instance, the ship is intuitively the second place to explore after the crypt but the number and level of monsters there is far more difficult than the swamp. Finally, the amount of available gold seems to be on the low side. Because some areas are left inaccessible after play-through and monsters do not respawn, it feels as if there is not quite enough accessible gold to properly outfit each character. At this point, one character is being used solely to play the looting tune, and I'm not even sure if the difference in acquired gold is significant enough to warrant this monotonous use. I feel this detracts from the dynamic play which is so fresh and exciting in this game. Overall, this game is ABSOLUTELY worth every penny. This is a real game. No stupid micro transactions to distract you. Just buy the game and have tons of enjoyable spelunking!
Bad
?????????
The game itself is ok, but the "turn based" fights are so bad. It can be your turn and the enemy will attack you or it will be the enemy's turn twice in a row giving you no chance to heal. That is not turn based.
Good at first but turned bad
Natstermanne
This game has beautiful graphics and plays pretty smooth but as another reviewer said the curve drops off like a rock, after the crypt it's almost impossible to level up because the only monsters you can verse are way too strong and you can't get more weapons because gold becomes scarce because of the lack of monsters, wish you guys could change this, this game had so much potential ?
Best Dungeon Crawler on IOS
txfeinbergs
If you like old time dungeon crawlers, you don't get much more state of the art than this. Excellent graphics, top notch sound design, and inventive gameplay that actually lets you split up your party make this a unique game. Also, despite what some reviewers have said, it is NOT very difficult if you take the time to think about what you are doing and fully understand the spells and songs. The songs are amazing. There are 5 instrument types in the game and as you play each different one it actually ads that instrument to the sound track. I have wasted hours just playing around with my band of mages. There are 15 or so songs as well and they sound great.
Boring...
Eriptron
Couldn't even get through the tutorial I found it so boring. Obviously it's me based on all the other reviews. Sure glad, though, they let you try it before buying it. Saved me from wasting $7. For that consideration I will keep an eye of this developer's future apps though. Really detailed graphics!
