Septourian is such a game: it’s also surprisingly rich despite its simple graphics and the generated world" - iOS RPG-site "Got it thinking it would keep me entertained for a bit.. ended up playing for an hour straight. And more. Its a nice crpg with a bit of rogue mixed in, and its a procedural world so thats really nice. The quests are also random so you get things like “i saw a nose drop a regen at artonyian crypt” which gives me a good laugh. I also think the dev nailed the ZX vibes cuz the colours and the music really make me believe this game was made a while ago. Also the lack of story dont bother me as i dont really look for story in games anyways. 9/10" StickMan6000 - AppRaven "Solid little portrait RPG that def gives early dragon quest vibes with a wild color scheme and some rogue elements. Def worth checking out!" J P - AppRaven "Wonderful hidden gem. A highly minimalistic party-based RPG using only the 16 color palette of the ZX Spectrum. The passionate solo dev‘s inspirations for this game were the early Dragon Quest games, Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy 6, Lufia 2, Diablo 2 and the Souls series. Games are randomly created, so the world map is different each time you restart the game. To me, it really feels like an early Dragon Quest prototype, in the best way. The dev also added some quality of life things like the option for auto battle. And that‘s a good thing, because random battles surprise you a lot, and like its influences this game is grindy. Especially early on you cannot move far away from your starting town. In it waits a safe orb where you can use your XP to upgrade your character. Die in battle, and you get revived there, but without any of the hard-earned XP. But you keep all your items and money. So, dying is not too punishing. All in all, it‘s an absolutely lovely little game that is keeping me glued the longer I play. Basically the gameplay essence of a classic turn-based JRPG, minus the epic story."

Exploring landscapes and mechanics

I hesitate to call something like this retro because it has quite a few newer concepts to it and isn’t particularly backwards gazing except for the notable exception that the game expects you to play it to understand it like many of the games of yore. It feels like you should have a manual to read but the missing information is all there in the game anyway just sort of waiting to be discovered. I initially picked it because the ZX palette is close to my beloved EGA palette which makes this a saturated colors on a black background wonderland. The monsters are as weird as you want them and the animations go a long way to imbuing personality. If you crave exploration and perhaps pushing a little bit farther than you ought to then I can think of no higher recommendation.

This is unbelievable. Such a masterpiece. I found this game while lying very sick in bed. I was so depressed about my health deteriorating. Upon playing this game, my fears gradually went away and feeling better. I will continue to play this to make me back to what I was again! You deserve an award. Thanks! Edit: Finally hit Rebirth 2 and the challenge is great! Edit2: Leveling a character past 500 crashes the game. Still fun to play regardless of no longer being able to level up.

A really well thought out game

This is a very well thought out game for what it is. Somewhat rogue line in design mixed with RPG qualities. In which time slips happen because it’s fun. Once you get used to the mechanics I keep coming back to play. The only issue I have is that the game freezes in Rebirth Two leveling up over 300. Hoping an update comes around, but I would recommend highly to pass the time in those slow spots in the day.
