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

If you like cheesy 8 bit rpgs, this game is right up there with perfect. If I had to complain about something, the control is a little weird, but thats if I had to find something. The story is great, the gameplay is fun, and it can be challenging if you don't grind enough. There could be more different enemies too. There's usually only 2-3 different types per area, so it gets kinda repetitive.

This game is an old school RPG in every sense, the good and the bad. It reminds me of a smaller scale Phantasy Star 2. It could benefit from a map, equipment variety, and the magic system is almost useless. Regenerating MP or a bigger pool of MP would go a long way. The gameplay is an 8 bit grindfest which I love but the devs should have implemented some modern ideas. Devs the ending is unacceptable, and after all the credits you get a screen that you have to force close the game to exit.

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. :(
