A bit weak on plot and not my usual cup of tea (I prefer old style turn-based RPGs for mobile) but this was a great game. Good use of strategic elements, great leveling system for gear and character, etc.I’d ding it half a star for the lack of a guide and general inability to see all your stats and what they affect, but you can figure out most of it. Also, it should be noted that this is a port of a premium Steam game, and I don’t know how much the drive to monetize has changed the frequency of gem drops. I make just enough to keep one favored spell from each school at or near my level. I did buy the gem doubler (essential) which gives me four gems every time I level and there is usually a chest or elite monster that gives two more gems, for a total of around six per level. That means you can forget about upgrading the shops and may not be able to open the occasional “rare” chest that requires gems to open. You can get a bit ahead if you encounter more than one elite monster and buy viewing adds to get daily gems, but those extras get used quickly. On the plus side, the merchant that can be found on one of the floors of every dungeon always sells gear that keeps up with your level. Monster gear drops are good sometimes as well, though the merchant stuff is usually better.After playing for a day or three, I wouldn’t bother watching ads for gold. You’ll quickly make millions selling gear you don’t want. Use the gauntlet (a kind of endless dungeon) to get ahead as soon as it appears and you will be OP for the main quest. I recommend going gauntlet until defeated, do side quests until the next main quest is ready, go main quest. All in all, a fun game but one that lacks a strong story. It goes back to the old school, where the story is a bare bones prop, but that’s okay! Try it, you’ll probably enjoy it.

After running through 51 levels of the Gauntlet, I wasn't dying so I abandoned the quest out of boredom. I was interested to see where I placed in the Leaderboard and now I notice it only shows I did 51 levels - but doesn't give me a score?! I have to die to get a score?!! Please fix this. I only stayed in the gauntlet as long as I did because I was interested to see if I could set a record. Is this close to a record? It would be great to know. Feels like such a waste. So depressing.---My previous review was 5 stars.......it is easy to become addicted to playing just a bit longer to get the next piece of equipment. It is virtually perfectly polished with clear attention to a smooth and efficient interface. I bought the double gems upgrade and have been playing through the game just fine. The fact that is even possible without additional in-app purchases is why I am leaving this 5 star review. So refreshing to have a fixed payment level.

This game is amazing, and I've already beaten it in only about 20 hours. Now that's a great amount of time to last for a game. Heck it's longer than lots of the cod games. But, as it is, I'd like to see more things added, maybe some new item cosmetics? Or character customization? I'm a sucker for how things look and always liked watching my weapons go from crappy to looking sharp. And if possible. One of the best things they could add would be a multiplayer function. Dueling and co-op missions in this game would be SOOOO fun. Otherwise only adds I've watched or seen have been the dailys that I chose to watch. Best game on the AppStore. D&d fans will love it. And so do I. (BUT PLZ MORE CONTENT I WANT TO KEEP PLAYING).

This is a great-looking, well-balanced, high quality dungeon crawler with a fast turn-based combat system that is very mobile-friendly.There are huge amounts of loot, a varied magic system, tons of possible tinkering, and basically endless dungeon delving.The story is so-so, but does it matter in a Diablo-like?It also eats battery.Otherwise, an insane value. Buy the $5 gem doubler for a no-fuss premium experience. Or don't, and just get huge amounts of fun for nothing. Worth it either way.
