"Lowlander II is a great game, possibly the most enjoyable, largest and best produced game of its type available that’s not got the Ultima name attached to it. " - My Boxed Universe
**** 1/2 stars from TouchArcade!
Yarak means business. She ain't got time for you! Get that armor on- there's adventuring to be done!
Generations after the mighty LOWLANDER vanquished the nefarious Azamon, a new villain has arisen. The evil enchantress, YARAK! The realm needs a new hero -- will you be the one?
Styled after the early Ultima games from Richard Garriott, Lowerlander will make your iPhone 7 Plus feel like an Apple II+. That's a good thing! Plus, Lowlander's new sibling packs the same one-handed portrait-style gameplay that sensible people prefer!
TouchArcade had this to say about the first one’s shameless imitation of Ultima II: “4.5 stars ... Lowlander is an interesting case, because it's not often that a game paying direct homage to a classic is actually better than said classic.” Unquestionably undeserved, but that’s high praise!

Awesome!

If you are looking for a game like Ultima 2/3, this and Lowlander are for you! The developer is also very involved in the thread for the game. You just do not see that! I wish there were more games like this, but it would be bad for me. I would probably not be married if there were! Kudos to the developer! The game itself is very detailed. The world is large and the quests are many. If you have some time to get involved in a game, pick this up, make sure your fridge is stocked and start playing...
Just as much fun as Ultima

After getting used to a few of the mechanics(no diagonal attacks, have to wait a while between sleeps to add hit points from sleeping in a bed) and learning to love a bit of grinding to get a higher level character, I’m enjoying this title as much as I enjoyed the Ultima series (I-V, I lost interest when they changed format). It’s great that it’s on my phone, now I look forward to waiting for my flight/uber/girlfriend to arrive!
Excellent

For the life of me I can't get past jorge in castle shebastion! I wonder if it's glitching...sprite at the top of the castle says you can bribe the NE guard but I haven't been able to figure that out either...please help!
Fantastic throwback!

For a fan of the Ultima series, this was the perfect game! Just challenging enough to keep me interested, but easy enough to beat without needing a walkthrough. Please make another! I'll pay!
Worth 3 dollars

Game delivers on everything it promises. The dev is incredibly responsive and kind. Only iPhone game I’ve played all the way through (about 17 hours of content).
Great game

Great gameplay. The combat works and scales well. I have not come across any bugs. I keep coming back to play. Thanks!!
Most fun I’ve had with a game in a while!

Glad I am finished, because playing this took all my time for the last few weeks! Outstanding. If you played older adventure games like Ultimata this will be right up your alley.
Amazing game, perfect timewaster

This game might look pretty rough on the outside, but it is a well crafted game that can take countless hours off your hands. The story took me days upon days to complete, and all the quests in between were intriguing and some were actually pretty funny. There are many references and secrets here and there, and I’ve only ran into a one or two bugs.
In loving memory of Ultima

Plowed through and just finished both Lowlander and Lowlander 2. The developer did an amazing job and is very responsive to his community. Whether you played the original Ultima’s or not I highly recommend both of these games.
