Ratings and reviews

I've only just started this game, but I can already tell this is a classic game. So far, it's tile-based movement, so those looking for a button-masher, this ain't it. It's a classic, well-written back story driven campaign, filled with everything a text/tile/turn-based has to offer. add in the "pay for" system, and it's more than enough to do some serious dungeon delving/crawling. Cudos to the developers and writers, you've outdone yourselves! Keep it coming.

Lots of updates from the developer; love to see that. Overall a simple, but deep turn-based dungeon crawler RPG. In the future I would like to see more character avatars, more to do with the town, and more varied equipment options. EDIT: it's six years after the above review and the dev continues to update this game. Much respect.

This is such a fun game! I love the mechanics, the fighting is pretty balanced, and there are so many things to do. It's so cool how many directions you can take your character, and the ads are never overwhelming at all. Edit: removed my comment and 4 stars over not getting enough money from things... i was just being stupid lol
