So classic, I'm upset I didn't know about it before

This is huge, sprawling, in-depth. Expect to read a lot, ask a few questions, and figure things out. Newbie town is really good for getting your bearings. R (the boss) gets online right there with you. Where else can you get that? A die-hard base working on a wiki and a busy Reddit community is a nice addition.
Awesome

One of a kind, beautiful, lovely game that is easy to underestimate at first glance. Don't do so. Play it and see the heart that beats strongly in this community heavy, charming and challenging piece of nostalgia existing in the now.
Most depth of any mobile RPG ever!!

This game is awesome!! I heard about this on an rpg forum and was able to download it a week ago, and I have put in more hours than I care to admit lol!!! The character depth in choosing skills and gear and spells is truly amazing and goes beyond what I've seen in any of the other rpgs I've played on mobile!! I already have 3 different characters, a high elf paladin, a leopard rakshasa and a pixie mage! Very fun and I honestly don't know which to play atm because they're all so different to play!
Fantastic game; flawless port.

What a surprising iOS experience. Best roguelike / mmo I've played on iOS. Controls can be a little finicky but you can use an external keyboard. Worth every penny!
Long time player...

Was waiting YEARS for it to come back! Incredibly excited... Until I found out that questing is mandatory to level up. Everything else except mapping is exactly how it should be though. Great game. Would totally give 5 stars if we weren't forced into questing to progress in leveling up.
Amazingly underrated

This game deserves 10 stars It's a bit hard to understand the game and everything at frist. But after reading a bit of the wiki and Reddit I was much better at the game and I can't stop playing it now. I play while at home, on my break at work and when I'm not playing I'm scrolling the Reddit. I haven't been addicted to a game like this in a very long time. The developer is an awesome guy and he's in game a lot of the time. The community are helpful and cool people who love the game as much as I have come to. I will be supporting this game for the rest of my life.
Good

I'm still a newbie myself when it comes to this game, but basically imagine NetHack combined with a vast open world of an Elder Scrolls game. This is that game. Takes a bit of playing to get the hang of, but once you do you'll be on your way to cutting down hordes of monsters yourself!
A long way off

I would caution new players and interested people to take the 5 star reviews with a grain of salt. Many of these reviews are left by players who played Wyvern back when it was a PC game over five years ago. These people are no doubt ecstatic and excited to be a part of this game again and feel that leaving subjective reviews of the game is supportive of the creator. My main issues with the game are: loot and economy system and questing or missions. The loot system as it is is a joke. The player's ability to gain experience versus his ability to gain or make money is so disproportionate that many players, especially those who weren't around five plus years ago hit a wall preventing their progression in the game. Another terrible aspect of this is how the economy is implemented, there is limited trade between players. Items can only be bought once, meaning they can't be resoled. Players also can't buy items from other players 8 levels below them. The creator of the game claims that this was done in part to prevent current players from transferring gold and high level weapons and armor to their new characters. This would be believable if in app purchases for gold didn't exist. What the creator is essentially telling you is that he takes issue with you giving your new characters gold and weapons but doesn't mind you paying him real money so that your new characters can have gold. This isn't too surprising, many mobile apps' success hinge upon in app purchases and in order to do so they must breed frustration in their respective playerbases so that they perceive the in app purchase as some form of a value. Quests: Quests in this game are equally awful. Many rely on complete randomization in order to be solved. Why are quests important you might be wondering? Quests sometimes reward the player with items but always have something called quest points which is essential for leaderboards and even more essential to progressing past every 5th player level. You have to do quests to progress or if you don't want to there is one option to skip them: in app purchases. You can pay for premium currency with real money in order to buy in game quest points so that your character can continue its progression. If this sounds a bit ridiculous its because it is. This game has vast potential to become an App Store juggernaut, unfortunately there are things such as the loot system and quest system that hold it back from being a truly great game.
Doesn't work
