  • Classic old-school RPG style with a large open world to explore and many quests.
  • Addictive gameplay with challenging combat and strategic party management.
  • Regular updates and developer responsiveness improving the game over time.
  • Extremely slow leveling and excessive grinding required to progress.
  • Poor quest design with ambiguous objectives and lack of quest tracking or map indicators.
  • Frequent bugs, crashes, intrusive ads, and issues with save/load functionality leading to loss of progress.
  • story
    201 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story and quests receive mixed reviews, with many players finding quests vague, poorly organized, and lacking clear markers or directions, making progression confusing and frustrating. There are frequent complaints about missing or broken quests, NPCs disappearing, and inadequate quest tracking, leading to difficulty completing missions and significant grinding requirements. While the game is praised for its interesting concept and potential, it would greatly benefit from improved quest logs, clearer storyline, better level balancing, and more detailed guidance to enhance player experience.

    • “An excellent RPG with a great storyline and a mix of easy and hard quests.”
    • “Great story game.”
    • “Worth buying the game... hours of battle, very time consuming for sure... graphics are good for what it is and long story can't wait to see what's next...”
    • “The problem I have with this game is the missions and story are vague, with no idea where to go.”
    • “Lots of quests can't be finished and this game will just make you grind forever.”
    • “By far one of the greatest retro RPGs, only problem I'm having is when the NPCs give you missions, sometimes they don't appear so you can get rewarded and truly complete the missions; please fix and keep up the great work.”
  • monetization
    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Monetization heavily relies on intrusive and frequent ads that disrupt gameplay, often causing accidental clicks, sudden redirects, and game freezes. While a paid option to remove ads exists and is appreciated by some players, the pervasive ad experience significantly detracts from enjoyment and has led to negative feedback and uninstalls.

    • “Paid to remove the ads as they interfere with movement.”
    • “When roaming the land the google ads will suddenly re-direct you to ad content and you can not get back to the game and have to close the game (unsaved usually) and re-open it.”
    • “The ads are placed in such a way so that you cannot move to a southern map without clicking the ad.”
  • grinding
    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features an excessively slow leveling system that demands extensive, repetitive grinding, often to the point of frustration and boredom. While some players appreciate the challenge and retro vibe, many find the grinding tedious, unbalanced, and detracting from other aspects like exploration and story. Improvements such as better quest variety and leveling balance could make the experience more enjoyable.

    • “The game requires extensive grinding for levels and gold which still does not accomplish much.”
    • “But, the leveling system needs work (jumping from 900 exp to 2000 is just ridiculous) and requires hours upon hours of grinding just to get to level five, which is just crazy.”
    • “Once you get to a level to defeat one group of monsters, you have to spend hours grinding away doing nothing but killing monsters for the sole purpose of gaining levels to kill the next monster.”
  • graphics
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with many appreciating the nostalgic, old-school style and overall decent visuals, while others find them basic, outdated, or lacking immersion. Some users suggest improvements for more depth and polish, though several acknowledge the graphics suit the mobile RPG genre well.

    • “Extremely great graphics.”
    • “I'm very fond of the graphics; they remind me much of Baldur's Gate and I love the idea of a free-roam RPG app.”
    • “The graphics were pleasant and the potential here is massive.”
    • “Very basic in graphics display.”
    • “It was not fun, I didn't like that it was slow and basically was on auto pilot, I thought I would control the fight but instead stuff just happened on its own, no fun in walking a character around so it can do its own thing in the game and graphics could be better too, way too undefined.”
    • “I love these types of games but the graphics are especially poor and the movement clunky at best.”
  • gameplay
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its classic RPG style, engaging mechanics, and easy controls, though some users find it slow, repetitive, and marred by constant NPC respawns and intrusive ads. While the core gameplay is enjoyable and addicting for many, issues like frustrating save mechanics, uninspired quests, and sluggish movement detract from the overall experience. Regular updates are appreciated, but some desire improvements in controls, difficulty balance, and content expansion.

    • “In the ocean of mass-produced, money-grabbing garbage that is the mobile game market, this game truly stands out, and stays true to its classic gameplay, fantasy, and mechanics.”
    • “Hours of classic RPG gameplay... keep the updates coming... great job.”
    • “I love the classic RPG gameplay and the ever-expansive world.”
    • “I really liked the gameplay but the constant respawning of NPCs has gotten on my nerves and I finally uninstalled.”
    • “The gameplay is also heavily lacking, and the quests are very uninspired.”
    • “Gameplay is slow and boring, the story is slightly lazy.”
  • stability
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from frequent glitches, freezes, and buggy controls that often disrupt gameplay and cause lost progress. While some users still find it enjoyable, these stability issues significantly hinder the overall experience, requiring frequent restarts and cautious saving.

    • “Very glitchy and freezes at times but enjoying this game so far.”
    • “I like the game a lot and play daily but it freezes up all the time and I have to restart my phone!”
    • “Freezes all the time and I lose progress.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised for being fun, zen, and enhancing the dream-like experience, reminiscent of classic RPGs. However, some users mention the lack of a mute option, which can interfere with their own music, and note technical issues affecting music playback.

    • “Music is very zen and makes playing dream-like.”
    • “But I love the music that was chosen for the game.”
    • “The music is really fun, and the gameplay is addicting.”
    • “Crashed every 7 minutes and crashed other running apps like music player.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express strong nostalgic and heartwarming emotions toward the game, appreciating its long-awaited updates and evolution. However, some frustration arises due to unclear quest directions, causing confusion about progression and affecting the overall emotional experience.

    • “The nostalgia I always get when I play this game is so heartwarming. Now that the game has been updated after so many years, I can only say that I am happy and proud that this game is evolving again.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is light and enjoyable, contributing to a fun experience without feeling the need for in-game purchases.

  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users feel that character development could be enhanced by allowing more visual customization, such as displaying character armor rather than relying on fixed, pre-designed appearances.
