Love it, want more
SimpliDarnok
Great game, great story, light on the tutorial but that’s a good thing, wastes less time, and allows the players to discover things for themselves. What is the “long and remarkable story for another time?”. Eagerly and hopefully awaiting a response
This game is Amazing
TheBlackRune

Could you please fix this
I HATE DIS GAMEEE

really enjoyed it, intriguing story (story is VERY important and far too many developers completely ignore it), graphics look great, the controls are easy to use. the in-app purchases are optional dlc, which imo is (at their low price and decent quality) reasonable even in a paid game. i wish there was a sequel, though.
Tidy adventure

Game worked great on iPhone 10. Waiting on the sequel to see more of the realm and northern kingdoms. It may be worth considering putting in more side quests for my strapping adventurer to experience. :)
Excellent Adventure!
Disc Master I
Excellent game. You guys better be working on the next chapter! :) I bought the game a little over a day ago and I played the hell out of it. Just finished the story a few minutes ago. I'm fairly positive there will be more from this story.
Great game that needs your attention
Exkain
An action RPG that's in the same vein as Dragon Age. Just the right mix of combat, story, and depth for a game on a mobile device. This is closer to the gameplay found in original Dragon Age, perfectly suited for iPad and runs smoothly on the iPad 3, no crashes. Support this game, if you like RPG's buy it, I'm addicted
Excellent story driven RPG
artfoundry
Superbly designed and produced! Very reminiscent of Neverwinter Nights (not surprising since the devs worked on expansions and mods for that). Amazingly detailed and beautiful graphics and sound for a mobile game. A good amount of nonlinear content too (about 12 hours worth to do everything). The only complaint is that at times the combat seemed a bit too easy. The bosses were well balanced, but I rarely worried about dying with other fights (and always had plenty of consumables and often didn't feel the need to use them). Oh, one other thing - the traps aren't very helpful since their coverage is small and it's difficult to lead an enemy. Minor concerns though. Overall I really enjoyed this game!
