Solid iOS RPG

Xerxes1811

This was a really fun little RPG, now it's no Baldur's Gate 2, but I really enjoyed playing through it. At first I didn't like the combat, but once I got the hang of it it was fine. Played as a stealthy rogue sneak attacking and then transitioning to a bow. Had a very interesting western RPG story, but as I'm sure has been mentioned, the ending sets up an obvious sequel. But checking the developers website, I see no evidence of a sequel being created. Therefore the ending rings a bit hollow as it's obvious that the developers were planning on a sequel. Kind of a " Oh you thought I was the bad guy?" Type moment. All nit-picks aside I really enjoyed this and recommend to anyone interested in western RPGs, just takes a bit to get used to the fast combat. Clicking the companion portrait pauses the game FYI, helpful during combat, took me about half the game to figure that out. This studio has made some excellent modules for the Neverwinter Nights games, so there definitely is some talent there. Definitely a solid 4 out of 5. Hopefully they have plans for more games, but it may never happen.


Nice!

I really enjoyed this game. It was a well written and fun RPG. I hope they come out with a sequel soon!


A solid, satisfying RPG with a strong story

Tom "slowbro"

This game is well worth the purchase for me, with a lot to explore and fight, and a story that helps keep me wanting to investigate the next area. It is interesting that it all takes place in and around just one city-state, but the story puts you in the midst of many countries and events outside that one city. Anyway, the combat is good, the dialogue is engaging, and the RPG system is fleshed out with plenty of variety in upgrades and items.


Sequel?

A chicken...

One of the best games I've played so far. Now the story is great, in the ending cutscene it mentioned a sequel will you make it? I hope if you can respond. I would totally recommend this game for RPG fans!


Boring

JulesDangerFox

I can't forgive the janky controls or very odd looking and moving characters. The fight sequences are no fun at all, the controls are off, the perspective spins at the wrong times, but the worst part is that there's NO STORY to this game. The dialogue all leads to the same Options no matter what you choose, which is always the janky fighting that's not fun. Good grief what were they thinking? So much work went into such a sh!t game.


Great RPG
