Hello. I like your game. A bit frustrated though in how many times i've made a mistake due to the tapping controls. Im petitioning that you add a "Swipe in a direction to move" feature. Zooming way in every time I want to fight an enemy (to avoid mistakes) sucks. Also a big fan of all the races and classes. Thanks for your hard work into this enjoyable title <3

Hello, sorry to hear about your big thumbs ;D I'm not considering a directional pad at this time but I do appreciate your feedback. Pathos is certainly more comfortable to play on a tablet-sized device.

This is the game ive searched the last 18-24 months for on Playstore. It has a variety of classes to choose from, less than 100 mb, vast amounts of info on each of the classes strengths, weaknesses, and weapons. Also, if u want, one can make their own custom hero from the getgo, without having to complete or advance to a certain unattainable level. Plus, its pixel style graphics, which reminds me of the old school rpg/dungeon crawlers. Im very happy i finally decided to download this game.

Hail Neil, thank you for your review and kind words. Always great to hear from players who enjoy the game. Too often, I spend my time replying to handful of negative reviews on Google Play instead of connecting with the many happy players. So thank you for playing and for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Decent, but items should not by identified at death. Further, the big "Trade/Transfer" button on the Trade and Share dialogs imply that time has stopped, so the transfer will be done in a single turn. This is not the case: while that big dialog is covering your screen, you won't see the monster coming up behind you as you select and deselect items for the trade.
