Eldrum: Untold 12+

Really enjoyed it!

This gave me fun flashbacks of “choose your own adventure” books when I was a teenager, 35 years ago. I could easily see this developer coming out with a series of these games with different stories, plots, and characters. Even different genres. This game has a medieval setting but in a fictional world. But they could easily do SCIF-Fi, modern-day stories, period pieces, etc. (WW1, WW2, Cold War, European history, etc.). This could be a whole new genre of video games in the App Store. They could create fictional characters which lived during famous historical events, and develop fictional side-plots that were happening alongside the major historical events. One of the best things about this game is it uses your own imagination. You become immersed, but in your own imagination. The artwork is more impressionistic instead of High Definition, so it allows a lot of room for the story to come alive in your own mind, just like reading a book or listening to radio theatre. And the coding is much simpler, so the development time should be much shorter and less expensive moving forward. I think they are onto a great idea here. I hope they make many more. I was left with the feeling like I read a good book. A very nice change from stereotypical video games. Well done guys!

Great game!

This is such a cool game!
There are a couple aspects that made me enjoy the game, first of all NO ADS. The game is only 5$ for the entire game, and it is definitely a smart move made by the devs Rather than spamming the game with ads. When a game has ads it makes the gameplay so much less... admirable. Every developer has to have a way to make money and this was the best approach.
The gameplay itself is great as well, its a great and balanced game that is full of challenges! Rather than just winning every match you have to play with strategy and think about every move. Another cool aspect is the variety, there are different play styles for every body and for example you could be a brute with lots of health and dmg or a stealthy and agile character. If your a new player i have one tip for you, upgrade your perception at least a little, by doing this you can find extra content and find more secrets. All in all one of the best games ive ever played.

Great Game

Finished the game after a week with a completionist mind set and I must say it is freaking amazing. It wasn’t just story it was the constant interaction of various elements that affected the routes you could take. Like (slight spoiler) in order to save a group of nomads you have to save up 2 points and invest them in charm otherwise you can’t save them or you if you kill off the bandits you can’t save the nomads. Along with a bunch of other stuff similar to that. It was a bit rough trying to figure out some stuff (although it wasn’t even that difficult) and map how to gain the most coin, items, equipment, interactions, exp, and fights in a single run, but once I figured it out it became a lot easier from there even to the point that endgame was became easy and I was pretty much rich. Tl:dr it’s an amazing, give it a shot, if you don’t like it by the time you have to pay, then don’t buy it. But as someone who did pay, it was worth it. Great job!
