Ratings and reviews

found this while wanting to replay Gurk, which looks like it's no longer available. It's a bit short but a fun few hours nevertheless. Nice new features are the map, the journal, the codex, and reconfiguring your party with recruits. One minor issue I had is sometimes while walking around a dialogue pops up, and since I wasn't expecting a dialogue I tapped through it without reading it, and there doesn't seem to be any way to open it again.

Graphics a little poor, I guess it's an attempt to mimic commodore 64 but since this a Gurk clone I'd rather they're on a par with the original. I've played a couple of hours, not out of the starting location yet. The crypt is a grind, I'm not a fan of having to go back and forth over the same ground to try and level up on randoms because the set encounters are far too challenging. Promising, would definitely be popular amongst 8bit RPG fans but only if balance tweaked and graphics improved

I am just so happy that there are other games like Gurk! With my busy lifestyle, simple games like this are the only way I can enjoy RPGs, because I can play them for 5 minutes at a time and still enjoy it and have a sense of progression. The first dungeon is too hard to be completed in a single expedition, but no complaints there. I like grinding 😄. I like the style of the graphics, but I wish they were more easily readable. I'll for sure buy the second game once I finish this one.
