Good fun

Caray82

Immersive with good artwork and dialogue and gameplay, but too easy on medium, especially the final boss. Also it was too short.


Way too short

Queenballucci

Game is good, great graphics and story, but it's just too short... if u like RPGs you should definitely get this game


Restore items

CTC:K

My starter pack items won't restore so I can use them on a character that I just created on the iPad, literally my only complaint thus far. All of other aspects seem great so far though.


Simply amazing

Dork heart bro

This game is great if you love the elder scrolls, chatter customization is minimal but make up in stats and skills. The game has a full story, no adds, and is 100% free. It's very enjoyable and has plenty of quests to keep you busy. This is the one game that I've been looking for ages. It has minor bugs and a few glitches. But it's not going to mess with the gameplay too much. I recommend this game. Like seriously...Get it.


If you like RPGs...

Update: You will mostly likely enjoy this game. The more I play it the more fun it is. Most games I get bored of in minutes on my phone these days or they don't hold my attention for too long; this game has surprised me by its depth and how fleshed-out it is--more so than I initially thought. I admit that for a while when I was playing this game I let myself be influenced by the other reviews that it was generic; it's actually one of the best RPGs I've played on my phone. It reminds me of Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls and other games. Old: Then you may like this game. It's not particularly special or exceptional, but it's neat so far. I like the graphics and the dialogue isn't bad. I haven't played it very long but I have a good impression of it so far. I haven't gotten any of the starter packs but they don't seem necessary. The customization is nice and the story is engaging enough. I only wish the tutorial was better and that you could customize your character's appearance a little more. Overall pretty good.


Awesome RPG

Siberianxpress

If you enjoy Dragon Age 2 and similar RPGs this is right up your alley. Great graphics for an iPhone, great story, tons of quests and a pretty good replay ability value. I'm hoping for more from Ossidian on IOS!


An excellent RPG

PatrikinOz

I really enjoyed the depth of this saga. I must confess that I did not read any of the extensive back story legend, but the play was still excellent. Challenging side plots and demanding game. Really enjoyable.


Mildly fulfilling; glitch in the final sequence?

Damon_Williams

I have played this game all the way through, and have used all the player combination/tandems. And I think I have found all the secrets, which makes this issue that more bizarre. In the final sequence when you enter the palace and are warned that you cannot return to the city, it makes no sense that you can collect dropped items inside the palace. Since exiting the palace means an automatic end to the game (only way 'out' is to defeat the last bad guy and talk to the dazed emperor, which leads to the ending sequence, and then straight to the game credits), I don't see the benefits of picking up rubies and other items - unless I have yet to discover something to do in between killing the last sorcerer and speaking to the emperor. It would be much better to make the palace sequence, which is essentially the boss level, exceedingly difficult, while eliminating all pickups and power ups in the palace. Meh. Still a decent game though.


Super solid RPG

Thomcat99

The game is beautiful, with varied, if not completely original, locations. Combat is fun, switching between magic and melee, and there is a good deal of balanced customization and weapon variety. The menus and maps are great, and the controls are as good as it gets on a touchscreen. The story and voice work are just okay, but certainly above average for mobile rpgs. This is a console/PC style game on your tablet, and it works. I had a blast during my nine hour play through, and I would certainly buy a sequel.


Lots of fun...

But I got this game for free, so that might skew my review a bit. I loved the game. I think the controls were good, the leveling up system was rewarding and I enjoyed the story. A very deep story if you want it to be, but you can beat the game without it as well. I liked it so much, that I was looking for another game by the developer to purchase, but don't see one. I hope you enjoy the experience that I had.
