Ratings and reviews

Great (5*) until recently. The most recent changes to force the player character to the center of the screen have made the UI hard to use. The worst part is that the change was made with no way for the player to turn it off if they didn't like it. This is user-hostile, instead of user-friendly. In addition, the new floating display control on the lower right constantly gets in the way. I have loved this wonderful game up til recently, but these changes are driving me to stop playing. Please fix!

The word count limit alone cannot accurately describe just how I like this game. It's the first RPG that I've ever gotten fully invested in with regards to content and enemy variety. Rewards are lucrative, mechanics are simple yet satisfying, and the music provides SUCH good atmosphere. The one gripe I have about this game is that leveling up is a bit of a drag, but I'm letting that slide because the amount of things you can do outweighs this issue. 10/10, WILL play again.

OUTSTANDING GAME!! Simple yet great variety in game play. An amazing reprieve from the pay to win games that plague the app store. Story is simple the grind is fun and the game continuously adds variety as you progress. Art style is fun and yes you can play in landscape or portrait mode. Game feels better in portrait though. The first 100 levels go fast it seems. There are fashions to join ( I haven't) daily tasks you can complete. Team also continues to push updates! Great work team!!
