Ratings and reviews

Game is very easy to play. The touch screen controls are large enough that you do not hit two keys at the same time. I like the music. I like the ability to select your characters. I enjoy going back & reading the lore that was found. As a person who loves to read, I want to collect all the pages of lore. I enjoy going back to the notes, & the history. This is a very enjoyable & for me, addictive game. I am enjoying the ability to collect & craft.

A proper, fully free (and extremely cheap with no ads) RPG that understands that the essence of a proper dungeon crawl is a combination of decision making, logistics, and tactics, and it delivers equally in all 3. Sincerely one of the best old school RPGs out there. What's missing in graphics and presentation is made up for with excellent system and game design and intuitive UI. 10/10 definitely recommend.

I've only just started this game, but I can already tell this is a classic game. So far, it's tile-based movement, so those looking for a button-masher, this ain't it. It's a classic, well-written back story driven campaign, filled with everything a text/tile/turn-based has to offer. add in the "pay for" system, and it's more than enough to do some serious dungeon delving/crawling. Cudos to the developers and writers, you've outdone yourselves! Keep it coming.

What’s new

- added dungeon walls and means to remove them
- reworked ambush to trigger only once per tile and only on previously unoccupied tiles
- tweaked enemy and event spawning chance for less cluttered late game and a bit more even distribution in early game
