True Old School RPG
Goggles999
This game reminds me of these old games I used to play on the computer at the library in the 80's. You know, the game where your character was represented by the happy face? I forget the name of the game, but boy does this bring back memories! I love the minimalist style, and the simple yet thoughtful gameplay. A true gem to be able to play on phone. Easy to pick up but hard to master. No hand holding here! Good luck!
That old school Ultima flavor.

If you have been looking for something similar to Ultima, look no further. This game has that old school favor where graphics didn't matter much and your imagination was the hook. Really been enjoying this game. Thanks devs!
Amazing!

First off the developer is really responsive and appears to really care about his work. He's very active on forums and responds quickly. The games inspiration is the ultima series and it's done really well. You can play the game with one hand. The graphics are brighter than the ultima series but the main gameplay elements are intact. The game has hunger and everything. Thank you dev, nice job!
If you love ultima, play this

If you were disappointed with the Ultima 4 port released for iOS, look no further. This game truly encapsulates that old-school rpg feel without having terrible controls. In fact, the controls are quite nice. The world is really big and there's lots to discover!
Awesome Ultima-like game

This game is true to its old school CRPG roots. Has a very Ultima II/III feel while being original and very fun to play. Game world is huge and lots to explore. Very addicting and hard to put down. Hoping for a future second release! Well done!!!!
I'm only a few minutes in but...

I am in LOVE. Thank you! The Dev clearly had a love affair with these games as I did. You had me at a guard telling me "I will beat you."
Great homage to Ultima

If you were a fan of the early Ultima games, this is definitely a game to try.
Amazing game and development team

The game alone is amazing. Love it. If your into the older style games, this might be your cup of tea. On another note- I had a question about a problem I was having (it turned out to be an user error on my part) which I e-mailed them about. Not even 2min later they messaged me back and started to look I to it. There are not many people, not just developers, who are willing to take time out of their day to assist someone, and these people do just that. So, thank you very much for taking time out of your day just to see to a question I had :)
Found a bug
Justaguyyoudontknow
All and all an awesome game with enough challenge to be addictive, but there seems to be a bug where torches (a very necessary item) disappear from the shops. Could be because I'm on an iPad, but since everything else works that seems unlikely, but otherwise a purchase worthy retro trip down memory lane. Bravo.
