Ratings and reviews

Great little simple classic RPG. Plays like the Gurk games , with graphics like early Ultima games. Interface and game mechanics have some quirks, but if you can get past that, it's still a fun little game. My biggest complaints are that there is no Auto-map and that combat is kind of tedious. I'm going to check out the author's newer games and see if he improved.

After playing the game for a bit I agree with the other reviewers about ranged combat. It's overpowered. If it was reduced, I'd believe the combat would be too slow and painful because melee is time consuming. A lot of time is wasted moving, waiting for the monsters to move, moving, etc. Could be a fun game but the combat is very flawed. Either use all range to speed battles up, or don't waste your time playing.

Cute and playable but flawed and very limited retro JRPG. It's quite short and the story is very basic. Combat is simplistic and repetitive and there's a LOT of it. There are no side quests. You can be given impossible boss fights, where your only option is to die and re-roll them. You can accidentally (or deliberately!) skip large parts of the main quest by going straight from the second dungeon (dragon plateau) to the fifth (the mine in the desert). There are minor bugs (NPC selling the wrong item or with wrong text) which I guess will never be fixed since the last update was in 2014.

What's new

•Fixed some major bugs releated to quest items and shops. Thank you Melany for pointing them out.
