Ratings and reviews

It plays well and feels like an old school RPG, similar to Diablo. However, it is absolutely plagued with micro-transaction opportunities and incentives, which dims the shine this game would otherwise have. The game tries hard to make you spend money, which is a huge turn off, especially for an offline single player RPG!

I finished the game with the sorcerer's without spending anything. for people complaining about potions: the tips is to buy early on the belt which gives you for free 3 potions. those potions automatically regenerate over time (need a few hours though). it didn't bother me and if you want to rush the game then take one skill points to brewery which let you make 3 potions per day by yourself. overall I liked the game. I just wished the devs gave more explanation on the summoms (e.g. damage)

Fun as it stands but some minor issues. The view field is EXTREMELY zoomed in. I feel like it needs a slider to zoom out. Free to play is possible but you're locked waiting 2+2+2= 6 hours for 3 potions toa recharge to make relatively short progress, unless you want to spend dozens of dollars on healing potions. Vital quest items not marked when picked up. Ability to scrap items to upgrade items was not mentioned wasted hundreds of items :( Pressure to spend $ is 5 of 10.
