Fun but not perfect – Crowntakers - The Ultimate Strategy RPG Review

I did really like this game but calling it an rpg is incorrect. It has the battle mechanics of like a banner saga ( which I like) but there are no role playing mechanics. The armor/weapons are all the same in terms of how you upgrade, only ability to customize is in gems with different perks. You can’t change how the armor/weapon looks. Also your main character is always a warrior, you can change some of his abilities but you can’t make him an archer or mage. You have to choose which companion is good at which task despite the companions never talk or interact with you so I have no idea how you would know one is good at singing and one is good at chess besides googling. The companions don’t talk to you and have no interaction. All the other “choices” are search the cave/hut or whatever for 9 hours and get more stuff or search the cave for 2 hours and get less stuff. Normal is too hard for relaxing play, which is what I want in a phone game. If I want something stressful/intense I’ll play a fully fledged PC game. But easy is too easy to be rewarding. It’s that ridiculous easy let’s you skip end of level bosses. Normal should be hard and there should be an actual normal difficulty level. Lastly, when I finally finished the game on normal ( which is harder than it sounds because of permadeath and items/XP not transferring to new character) the game cut out so I didn’t even get to see the ending, and not enough people play so I could easily find spoilers about ending online :(
