Ratings and reviews

***READ EDIT BELOW*** I can see that there's a lot to love here but why in God's name is move and attack the exact same gesture that changes depending on... Something I'm not exactly sure. Position of gesture on the screen, maybe??? It's baffling. The game seems awesome otherwise. EDIT: Changing my rating because I'm a dummy. My issues were entirely User Error. This is a good dungeon crawling RPG that can be a little grindy, but suffers less from it due to mobile's pick up and play nature.

A COMPLETE GAME! NO MICRO TRANSACTIONS! NO ADS! Over 12 equipment slots on character. Gear is craftable & upgradeable. Many skills and spells. Change class by changing gear, no need to restart game to try different play styles. Pets that level up. Great having a swarm of your own pets fight for you. Huge world map and dungeons. Save anywhere so you can grind a few minutes and come back later. Great music throughout. Awesome card game too, over 240 cards to get from all over the world.

It's an okay game. Its fun for awhile, but it just gets too grindy way too fast. Literally the 2nd dungeon can take 3-4 hours to complete and each room has like 100 enemies. The game kind of forces you to make certain builds in order to be effective. Magic is pretty much king and melee only builds don't work all that well. There's a lot of backtracking and way too much walking. It feels like they tried to make the world big, but it's just big open spaces filled with generic enemies.
