Ratings and reviews

I'm six runs deep, and it's honestly a phenomenal experience. As any mobile game does, it has ads, but they're incredibly minimal. One ad a chapter, and the chapters are long enough to warrant more, and every run will be different as long as you're not slamming the same buttons. The characters are cliche but compelling; the story has an overall simplicity, but the small actions from yourself and others change the story in interesting ways. Combat has a minor lack of detail, but enough to suffice

I wish that I was able to review previous information easier as it makes pausing the game risky, and the travel section can get confusing. That said this is hands down one of the best games I've ever played, the plot, the detail, the investment in the characters is almost immediate. No waiting to play, ads are rare, and the game is free.

It's a fun choose your own adventure novel, but the big i issue had with it is that once you near the end of the game, leading up to the tournament random chance can end a character that you spent hours getting to that point. I was killed by a group of bandits because I couldn't pay them, and didn't have enough money to fight them off. There was no way to avoid that, and no way to start back at a save. it ends that playthrough, and brings you to the beginning.
