Still a Great Game But Still Buggy – Aralon: Sword and Shadow Review

Given its age I'd have given the game 5 except for the following mentioned under "cons." It's still a fun game even with some quirks. Pros: Probably a good 30+ hours of game play. You can replay it with different character classes, so not a one time run. Has good game balance-- nasties are not leveled by your level so go into wrong area and probably get killed. Loot is tied to critter level, so the nastier the beast the better the stuff. Cons: The game will crash when hiring any ship captain for fast travel. One dungeon will not load. The door places PC in an empty blue area with no way to move except to exit back outside. This part of a side quest may not be able to be completed. In another dungeon involving the MQ, your character must climb a ladder inside a mine. At the top of the ladder, you will find everything has disappeared. (PC has fallen through the floor?) It's possible to get around this fault by using a levitation item along with the ladder. Played on iPad Pro (2015 model) iOS 12.1.1 File size for the game is 512.7MB
