You have to buy the Scroll--available from Pedsipec's shop in the Resistance Hideout. We think the story is compelling and put a lot of work into the terrains, including some beautiful underwater terrains. I think you will get a lot of bang for your buck and want to revisit the world when you have a free moment to wander around. The intro music is particularly compelling--it makes you think of the sad Princess with a spiky magic collar around her neck, subdued by evil magic and whose power is being used by a horrible villain to enslave her and her people but of course you will save them. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,903 658 113 England #3 psj3809, Jun 18, 2015 Just downloaded it. Really impressed, its a nice nod to old skool RPG's, seems to be quite a huge land to explore. Touch controls work well. Only had a quick go talking to some characters, finding out about various missions etc. It reminds me of some old skool RPG's on iOS a few years back, thats not negative, thats positive as i love the 'old skool' vibe from this one. For a dollar its well worth it, a great homebrew title Elsa Well-Known Member Apr 7, 2015 653 0 0 Arendelle #4 Elsa, Jun 18, 2015 Please stop saying old skool so much. It hurts. The graphics (even the icon) look hm... I don't want to say bad, because the graphics are the least of my concern, but they look rather... unpolished. Makes me worry about other aspects of the game that aren't polished as well. Still though, for a buck I'll get this. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,903 658 113 England #5 psj3809, Jun 18, 2015 Oops yeah that was a few too many ! The engine for the game isnt probably the best (Its not like its Aralon etc) but like i say i quite like it as its a bit different and you can tell a lot of loves been put into this by the one man team. Enjoyed the Quest etc so if you can look past some of the issues its probably quite a large RPG to enjoy Elsa Well-Known Member Apr 7, 2015 653 0 0 Arendelle #6 Elsa, Jun 18, 2015 I just saw that this developer also made WizzardIsland. I couldn't get past the lack of polish there, so I doubt I'll be able to do so here. PS: the game engine for this and Aralon are the same.

I'm at fault for the icon because we are a small outfit and graphics are not our strong point. But I swear the other graphics in the game are very good because we used graphics from Sylon of Redshift and a lot of graphics from the Unity asset store, except for one small icon--not mentioning which one. : ) I did make that one too. It's a closed book. So please try the game and forgive me for the icon. : ) We have made games for many years that have made people very happy so please give it a try.

From that perspective you should see the back of the shield. I would like to see what combat looks like as well. Thanks for the video! barefootdragon Well-Known Member May 21, 2015 78 0 0 #11 barefootdragon, Jun 18, 2015 I am buying your game. I want to support your future gaming endeavors. Keep up your efforts there is marked improvement. Cheers to you.

For those who never played The Quest I can promise you that the games always have depth, colour and prolonged interest and I don't doubt this game does too. Please support this excellent developer.

We think you will really enjoy Omber. That view of the shield is as it's animating in front of you so you see what's really the side there. Combat is first person. It's not hard. There's a skill bar that is very responsive and gives you a choice of using your weapon or spells. And there is an on screen health potion for those who just want to explore. But even so I died because I forgot about the traps. And some monsters are punishing. Combat is real time but the on screen health potion helps. gquiller Well-Known Member Nov 15, 2011 330 3 18 #15 gquiller, Jun 18, 2015 This!!!! Lokina Well-Known Member Jul 21, 2014 75 0 0 #16 Lokina, Jun 18, 2015 Gosh people seem a bit pedantic here! May be I am odd but I just accepted the shield showing its best side and the icon as being an Ent. Have either of you played the game? I am playing it and finding it great fun, the scenery is lovely and it's a world that's easy to get lost in. May I suggest you relax and enjoy a 99c bargain! I was expecting it to be a lot more. I say 'Well done, Cat.' Duke12 Well-Known Member Oct 25, 2013 1,016 38 48 #17 Duke12, Jun 18, 2015 Is combat like in Wizzardisland? Couldnt play it cos of that so cautious with this swisssk8er1 Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Jun 12, 2011 115 0 0 #18 swisssk8er1, Jun 18, 2015 The combat here is definitely better than in WizzardIsland. You should give it a try. Roleki Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2012 432 0 0 #19 Roleki, Jun 18, 2015 Well I think the icon rocks! Guess it's a matter of taste... swisssk8er1 Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Jun 12, 2011 115 0 0 #20 swisssk8er1, Jun 18, 2015 This is a great game! The world is interesting and great fun to explore. The quests are well-written and fun to solve. I look forward to sinking many hours into this over the weekend.
