Ratings and reviews

The app is great for solo or group play if no one wants to be Zargon. The music and ui are pretty nice. I have one major complaint, though, and that is that the RNG for monster rolls is completely unbalanced. Enemies have a nasty habit of rolling all skulls far more often (>50%) than not. It's WAY too difficult when no hero has more than 2 defense. A human can not roll that accurately against such odds when the heroes have no new bonuses or weapons. I have to cheat just to stay alive.

Crashes almost every time I try to save. Crashes consistently when an ice gremlin steals an item and makes it off the map. Sound sporadically does not output. Party management is difficult or impossible. Would be fantastic if more effort were put in, but it's been years since release and the app still feels bare bones, broken, and unprofessional. Clearly not a priority for the developer.

The perfect application for solo play!!! While another free Windows program has existed for years, this one has all the bells and whistles. The only improvements I can think of at this time are more music tracks, better enemy movement behavior, and the ability to download new content without having to uninstall everything and start from scratch. Recommended!
