So. The game is fun. Iaps haven’t really been pushed but there are lots of cosmetic items you can buy with the iap gems. You can also find some in game but a very small amount. The biggest issue I had was storage. If you buy the game, immediately save up 20 gems to buy a second page of storage at the inn. It’s pretty much mandatory. There’s no permadearth so it’s rogue-lite. Now it is hard but not too hard. It starts off pretty easy though. The game will tempt you to spend your gems on big shiny chests every once in a while, the items inside aren’t that impressive and can be found from regular chests, maybe not as often but a few runs and you’ll get the same stuff. The game does require some grinding and farming but really what dungeon crawler doesn’t? It also requires internet connection but there’s no multiplayer but there is a chat system you can talk to other players and even see them in the pub but that’s it. The game doesn’t hold your hand you have to figure things out like going inside the pub, finding the daily missions boards inside and there a black market in there too. I recommend the game though, I’m having a lot of fun. I’ve been playing a couple days now and only level 12 I hear there’s a huge paywall at lvl 15. But the levels are character level based so if you’re stuck on a boss but high enough level for the next area you can move on and come back later. You just can’t continue the story missions until you do beat that boss. All in all it’s worth more than the buck it costs.

Overall I’d say well done. The gameplay is very entertaining. However, it might be fun to control more than one unit at a time. And I’m terribly confused as to the point of collecting all of these random resources that can’t be used to create any of the recipes I have access to. It would be nice to have a crafting tutorial in the early stages of the game. I’m thrilled that the fighter class and archer play feel so different when playing them. Well done. I’m hoping for more classes in the future.As for crafting, I’m hoping that I can fight through this fog of confusion. I’m not sure a fighter or an archer will make it any easier.

First off I want to start off by saying this game is fun. It feels rewarding so far (only character level 7 with Rian) idk maybe that changes later on. Next I want to applaud the devs for the beauty of this game. It runs at 60fps on high resolution on my iPhone 6s beautifully. I also want to give props to being able to run it in either landscape or portrait. I bet you’re wondering why the 3/5 stars if I enjoy the game so much. Well here’s why. The controls are very touchy and partly unreliable because of it. There’s been a few times I have died from a boss because I pressed the bosses square but the game thinks I wanted to move next to the boss rather than attack it which has caused me to take an extra hit resulting in a death. Only being able to complete 3 quests a day really ruins the point of doing missions. Maybe allow 5 quests a day and any after that have to be gained through spending a gem or something. Another reason I gave it 3/5 stars has to do with the lack of “extra playable characters”, again maybe that changes later on but so far just being a fighter is kind of meh. (I just got Belrose and even so it’s not enough). Also the game feels rather linear, again maybe it changes later on but as for now it’s very linear. Gems should be a little easier to obtain in game. One last reason is no multiplayer capabilities, no co-op and no PVP really loses value in a mobile platform. However for .99 cents it’s worth its cost. I expect to keep this game in my phone for as long as I can.

The battle mechanics are great for one handed or two handed play. I really wish more games would provide the option to change from portrait to landscape view. The dungeons are quick enough to complete when I have an awkward amount of time between my daily activities, but it also has enough depth to keep me occupied for longer play sessions. The story, however, leaves something to be desired, I’m not very far yet and perhaps it opens up, but so far it’s clear that it was written by someone who speaks english as a second language. That being said, it’s much better than other experiences i’ve had.The depth of crafting and purchasing equipment is in that sweet spot of ease for quickplay, but also great for min/maxing when more time is available.I would like to see an optimization for the iphone x, i’ve found that i have a hard time completely enjoying games that haven’t utilized all of the screen real estate. it’s alway in the back of my mind, kind of like when a teacher leaves the mouse pointer on screen during a movie presentation.I nearly passed this one up thinking it would be a plain experience, but i’m glad i didn’t and appreciate what the devs have done here.
