Solid rpg

Very good game for one buck.
All the rpg ingredients are there: Fights, magic, stealth,... Controls are easy even if it is with a virtual joystick. Well polished, very few bugs.

Only drawbacks are that the game is fairly easy, a bit short (~10 hours of gameplay) and the story is not terrific.

Excellent game!

Really enjoyed it. Some minor bugs but nothing that inhibits game progression (save often though). Definitely NOT pay to play. Compelling storyline, good mechanics, a pretty classic RPG format that works.

Scratches the itch

Don't think of it as a mobile Elder Scrolls. For one, it is more like Dragon Age. But more to the point, of course it is never going to be as big as a console game. But it is still highly enjoyable, non-linear role playing.
