    I played this for some time now. But I'm stuck now on a rather hefty quest. There's some bugs and rough edges but the all around experience is rather nice. The battle system seems good, although I hope it get's more complex over time. Problem is that I have now no way of leveling up to have a chance against Roku.

    Alright. I rated it a 5. Love this game - another slight critique is that it seems a bit short (I think - I'm assuming I'm more than halfway in unless there are huge twists with the storyline). It also seems fairly linear. But the gameplay alone makes it worth it, imo.

    Where are you specifically? I'm past all that Roku can teach me now (learned all 4 Sorcery skills). Usually you'll have to go to some other quests if the difficulty bar is showing above 50%. You shouldn't ever *have to* face an opponent where difficulty > 50.

    Yep. You are right. Still had to do the last Dragon Man quest and it was pretty easy after that.

    Nice! Yeah the sorcery spells are ridiculously powerful. Practically OP.

    Yeah I watched a gameplay video and the combat reminds me a bit of Child of Light which is an excellent game to model your combat after! Still on the fence with this one though. Mainly because of the amount I've spent this week.

    I just beat it. All the quests and side quests set you up for the next story quest as far as difficulty, is something is way way too hard you missed a side quest. The game is way too short. I beat it in less than a day and that's casually playing. Don't get me wrong I effing loved this game it just could have been a little more difficult, a little longer as well. I hope the developer either adds like a chapter 2 or is working on a sequel or something. At the very least add some more to the game later on with an update to make it longer. The combat is fun, fast paced. It would have been nice if there was more of a variety of spells, it seemed after the first type of Magic all the others basically had a healing spell, which you almost never use. Anyways I'm just letting everyone know the negative aspects of the game there are plenty of good things about it and I would recommend it to a friend. For those that don't really like turn based RPGs would still like this in my opinion, the swipe based attacks and speed set it apart from turn based games like final fantasy.

    Beat it too yesterday. It was fun and engageing. Combat is really the heart of the game. It is short. It's not that difficult and it's pretty much linear, but it has a lot of charme. I hope there will be a second chapter that will up the anye. More spells, more diversity in quests.

    So, let me get this straight. You'd like to pay 5 dollars for something that will stay with you when you're in your 70s, yes?

    I'm really impressed ny the game so far. Just beat the first boss and got the Healer class. The combat system is really enjoyable so far.
    Btw that Droghart battle was a bit funny. Took a lot of time, but won without a scratch. Then was told that I was badly injured and defeated, but was saved by a healer. Was I not supposed to win that one? :)
    Higly recommended. If it's just a few hours long, that's completely fine with me.
    One note though, the text is super small even on an iPhone 6 Plys. But otherwise has a really good control so far.

    Hey. I don't usually review games. But just wanna give my 5 star rating to this game!
    Immediately it took me back to the days of Super Nintendo -power ups, bosses, cheap quests. It's all here. Kinda like Zelda or Mario world. And that's about the best compliment I could give to any game. Like others said- it is linear- but so are a lot of great games. I think may be near the end. But have enjoyed the ride a ton. I hope iOS gets more games like this one!

    While I agree that a expecting game that can be played for "years and years" is ludicrous, this game is ridiculously short. I feel it's worth $2-3, not 5. Definitely novel and fun though.
