Ratings and reviews

When I first began playing this game, I had an issue with the game constantly freezing and being unplayable. Turns out that for whatever reason my phone was not compatible with the game. After Android update, I was able to play the game. The developer of the game was also quick to respond and offer solutions to remedy my negative experience. Very fun game and good for fans of turn-based combat.

I was interested in this game a few years ago and never got around to purchasing it. I should have done so sooner. Pretty great turn based strategy RPG. Artwork is beautiful. Excellent creativity in how the world is developed. I only have two complaints. The story is a bit difficult to follow in the begining. The descriptive text in towns and battle are difficult to read most of the time. You have to get pretty close to the screen. I will be buying part 2 and 3 for sure.

I remember loving this game when I downloaded it a couple of years ago. the story, the graphics, the mechanics. All wonderful. However, trying to download it now it says I need 1.9gb. It downloads the game but then says "downloading additional file" and then is unsuccessful. Any ideas? I installed BSII just fine. Thanks so much!! edit:I managed to get it to work but I have no doubt the developers would have solved it themselves for me!! Just as good as I remember.
