    If you want all three character packs and the hint guide it will be $3.97, they are $0.99 a piece, a very reasonable price. Just wanted to make sure that was clear to everyone and no one goes in expecting it all for $0.99.

    Edit: The developer stated in the upcoming games thread that it took one of their testers 23 hours to complete the game, that time also included side quests and stuff.

    Is this real time combat?

    @bigred447uk – Countless hours to produce. Literally.

    @stutz – We’ll be considering an Android port in the new year, so it’s possible.

    @Greg G – The 3 starter packs are best used near the start of the game, as they include some slightly better armour and weapons than the default ones. But keep in mind that they also include some other neat items that are handy throughout the game. So my recommendation is that if you definitely want a starter pack, decide what kind of character you want to play (which skills and attributes) and get the one that suits your character type the most during character creation. Or, if you’re on the fence about it, you can play for a little while (maybe 15-30 minutes) and then decide if you want to get one or not.

    @Avatre – “No dual-wielding” is for all characters. We’ll be looking at that feature in a future game or expansion. But if you’re a sneak, you can perform the infamous “backstab.” In TSS, you can create exactly the character you want by choosing attributes and skills (sneaky, daggery, cut-pursey, trap-setty... okay, that last one is definitely not a word, but you can set traps). But we also provide a few pre-generated characters for those players that just want to jump in and start playing. With regard to the starter pack DLC, it will detect what your skills are and provide a cool weapon to suit. So if you’re an axe-wielding warrior, it will give you an axe. And with the rogue, you get both a special crossbow and a special dagger. If you were to restart the game with a different character and different skills, they would receive a weapon from the same pack that best suited them.

    @pka4916 – The game is 10-15 hours, but we have had some completionists on the team take 25 hours! It’ll depend on your play style. And just to clarify, it’s 99c for EACH starter pack and 99c for the hint guide. The hint guide, by the way, is really comprehensive, with a walkthrough for the whole game, bestiary, treasure list, secrets list, character building tips, and gameplay tips. There were even some gameplay tactics that Luke (our lead designer and author of the hint guide) had designed that *I* didn’t know about!

    @CoreyB – Yes, it’s real-time combat.

    I always go for the stealth approach in games like this, if possible. My Skyrim dude was a proper sniper. With....a bow, but still. Anyway, are there any kind of stealth mechanics in this game? I don't need to be ninja with green goggles to enjoy it, but a bit more stealthy and tactical taking out threats. Or is it more of a full on brawler kinda thing?

    How many hours is the game with main story, side quests and all actually? 10-15 hours doesn't sounds like the "epic" rpg I was hoping for.

    Nvm lol sorry

    That's excellent news, thank you. I'll definitely be picking up the warrior and rogue starter then, and I'm pretty sure trap-setty should be a word. ;)

    This may be selfish, but please prioritize updates and new content to the iOS version before the Android port. From what I've seen, we're going to need more The Shadow Sun. Congratulations on the release.
