About this game

Many years ago, the Kingdom of Damerel was attacked by the demoness Daglaxaak. War raged and, while the people of Damerel fought valiantly, they began to lose ground - Daglaxaak was too powerful. Yet, when all hope was lost, a warrior by the name of Egmulf managed to banish the demon warlord to another dimension, where she was trapped for good. But peace may not last much longer, for the magic that has been keeping Daglaxaak from coming back is weakening! And it's up to you - the greatest of the King's warriors - to venture forth and prevent chaos from ensuing once again!

Ratings and reviews

I've had this on my phone for a while now, getting through the story bit by bit (parenting tends to cut game time short, lol). I waited until I'd finished so I could give a fair review, and.. I'M ASTOUNDED! This game is a phenomenal, bite size RPG that can be enjoyed at ones own pace, and completed in about 8-10 hours. It's extremely simple, but that's honestly one of it's strongest points. 1 character to play means you don't spend hours customizing a party, and you can simply enjoy the story.

Reminds me a lot of Dragon Quest 1 and Earthbound (More of the former though). There are a few issues: MP is too low to make most spells worth your time, Teleport taking you back to the castle is kinda tedious, and battles get kinda repetitive since it's always a 1v1 (Tho that's what reminded me of DQ1). That being said, I still like this game, despite all of that and the grindiness. I also like that it's 100% free. No ads, no IAPs, nothing. Don't see that often. | Edit: Ads were added. :(

Flawless game design, consumables actually need to be used and purchased unlike many rpgs, long lasting fights, challenging bosses, well made dungeons, and most importantly the game doesnt make you go back an hour of progress when you forget to save and close out the game. It feels like a perfect mix of dragon quest, earthbound, and final fantasy.
