  • monetization
    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is largely praised for its optional ads that provide rewards without being intrusive or mandatory, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to watch them. While some users report occasional issues with ad functionality, the overall sentiment is that the game strikes a fair balance between monetization and gameplay enjoyment, with no forced ads and reasonable microtransactions. However, a few reviews express concerns about the potential for late-game monetization pressures and the effectiveness of rewards from watching ads.

    • “Microtransactions don't seem out of control.”
    • “I love it so much and I've only played for a few minutes, but it's so simple yet has great depth. No annoying tutorial character chattering away at me, no ads that I've seen apart from the option to watch an ad for rewards. Very simple but engaging mechanics; it's absolutely perfect for a mobile game!”
    • “There's no ads, so far, unless you want to earn some coin.”
    • “Fun enough, but the use of AI art, constant pushes to watch ads, and absolutely dreadful subscription service to get around late-game hassles make this a hard no from me.”
    • “It's a good concept, many things still need work, but the big thing is the game mechanics drive the player to either watch ads or buy stuff because your team is so underpowered at normal level that it sucks the fun out of the game.”
    • “Forced ads to even play the game, can't scroll anything.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players expressing a desire for a more consistent and polished aesthetic. While some appreciate the nostalgic charm of the retro style, others criticize the inconsistent color schemes and basic visuals, suggesting that the game would benefit from the involvement of a pixel artist for a more authentic look. Overall, the graphics are seen as a weak point, with calls for improvement to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Easy to understand mechanics, nice art style, and very rewarding quests.”
    • “From the simple interface, to the digital paint style graphics, to the ASCII-looking map, this game simply oozes retro charm.”
    • “Minimal graphics but a really cool, nostalgic feel.”
    • “The graphics are poor.”
    • “Graphics are a disappointment.”
    • “Ai art means no consistency in art style.”
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, characterized by easy-to-understand mechanics, rewarding quests, and a charming art style, making it engaging and accessible, especially for mobile users. Players appreciate the lack of intrusive ads and tutorials, allowing for a straightforward experience, though some express concerns about balance and the need for in-game purchases to enhance progression.

    • “Easy to understand mechanics, nice art style, and very rewarding quests.”
    • “I love it so much and I've only played for a few minutes, but it's so simple yet has great depth. No annoying tutorial character chattering away at me, no ads that I've seen apart from the option to watch an ad for rewards. Very simple but engaging mechanics, it's absolutely perfect for a mobile game!”
    • “I've spent a long time trying to find a good D&D-like game and this is definitely a good one. The leveling system is on a good pace, there's no forced ads which is absolutely amazing, and the gameplay is beautifully simple. Love the character choices and guild options.”
    • “It's a good concept, many things still need work, but the big thing is the game mechanics drive the player to either watch ads or buy stuff because your team is so underpowered at normal level that it sucks the fun out of the game.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is criticized for its lack of depth and overarching narrative, with players expressing a desire for more structured quests and a richer storyline. While some appreciate the casual nature of the game, many feel that it currently lacks engaging content and meaningful progression, particularly due to the presence of forced ads disrupting gameplay. Overall, players hope for future updates to enhance the story and quest elements.

    • “Makes it really feel like it's your story.”
    • “My only minor complaint is that I tend to like more of a storyline and overarching goals, but there's not much of that here, though it also fits the casual nature.”
    • “3 stars, generously speaking... not much story going on.”
    • “Please keep adding levels, looking forward to the quests, and I think you're very well set up to add a storyline down the road.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find grinding to be a mixed experience; while it can lead to a well-rounded party and unique treasures, it often becomes tedious due to separate inventories and quests for each character. Some enjoy the dungeon crawling aspect initially, but many feel it becomes overly grindy over time, diminishing the enjoyment, especially for certain classes like the warlock.

    • “However, it quickly got tedious with each character having a separate inventory and quests.”
    • “Dungeon crawling experience grinding to kill time.”
    • “Was good for a bit, but turned too grindy after a while and the warlock class wasn't nearly good enough for the price.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players report that the game is enjoyable but experience some stability issues, particularly with input glitches on the D-pad and occasional bugs affecting gameplay, such as missing mobs in dungeons. Despite these issues, many still recommend the game and appreciate its fun elements.

    • “Just keep up the awesome work 👏 .... dungeon level 6 ... no mobs encountered .... buggy bug =( .. restarted and mobs are back... what is the dungeon respawn time??”
    • “This game is actually amazing, but the only glitches I've run into are D-pad glitches, like clicking it once might make you move twice or clicking right and it goes down. Except for that, it is actually really fun and I recommend downloading.”
