    How about using one of the more intense tracks in the game as the trailer music? The current one seems a bit too...calm.

    Hey guys. So, I have one question to ask, why is this game so great? Like, I watched the video and read the TA article and it looks great, but I don't know anything else about the game.

    It's made by Rocketcat, and quality action-RPGs are always fun for me.

    It's a classic old-school RPG. It doesn't have absurd grinding questions that lengthen the game like in Korean RPGs such as Zenonia or Inotia. It's just about the action and the story all the time.

    Besides that this was made by Rocketcat Games. They're devs that have a track record for releasing a polished product. They're one of the few devs that have kept their promises about never putting their game on sale(past their normal intro sales). Also I personally find that besides the polish they present, their games always produce some humor that is often lacking in most titles.

    That's what I think is so special about the game. (Oh and by the way it also rocks! Trust me ;) )

    Wow, that was fast coverage.

    Also a fast response from iVaro, thanks! I don't have much to add, except that I personally find Korean RPGs to be terrible. Partially because they're not designed for iOS, at all. Ever wonder why you can't move diagonally in a KRPG? Because it's hard to do that on a cell phone, which is what every KRPG I can think of is ported from.

    We have extremely smooth controls and combat. The trailer footage is me controlling the game with a mouse in the simulator. Works even better when you can use two fingers.

    Where is the mega hype?! This game looks awesome and I can't wait. Rocketcat has to be one of my favourite iOS developers! Any further info on a release date? :D

    Yeah, just to get in on the lovefest: Rocketcat Games can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. I'll say it again--this will be one of the very best games released this year, count on it. Can't friggin' wait.

    I feel like Apple likes to approve the good games on Thursday so that we all have to wait an extra week. :(
