story
170 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
58% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 2% negative mentions
The story is widely praised for being well-written, engaging, and richly detailed, with intricate character development and a classic fantasy setting that hooks players. Many highlight its depth and refreshing approach within the genre, though some note pacing issues and desire for more free content beyond the initial episodes. Overall, the compelling narrative combined with strategic gameplay makes it a standout RPG experience.
- “The story of this game is extremely well written, never have I been impressed as much as I have with the story of a game.”
- “Well-written and interesting, with clear, strong, distinct characters, an engaging plot that does a decent job of giving you the illusion of choice even when you don't have it. (After the first episode, there is much more choice as to order of events, and you do start to have occasional moments in which you can affect the plot in small ways.) Avoids clichés.”
- “Compelling story, deep characters, and hours of gameplay.”
- “Bought episode 1 and 2 already and guess I'll have to watch a playthrough to know the story, since there are no updates for almost a year now.”
- “I was only barely starting to get into the story when I was suddenly told 'gimme cash or piss off'.”
- “The fact that you have to buy extra characters and the rest of the story after chapter one is lame.”
gameplay
52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
48% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions
The gameplay is widely praised for being intuitive, well-balanced, and deeply engaging, blending tactical RPG mechanics with character customization and a compelling storyline. Many appreciate the accessibility and nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic RPGs, along with polished controls and extensive playtime. Some minor critiques note a desire for more class variety and simpler mechanics, but overall, the gameplay is considered a standout feature that enhances the immersive experience.
- “Gameplay is very intuitive, and in a bit of a departure for the developers, there's an interesting, well-written storyline at play as well.”
- “Each chapter after the free prologue gives you 20-40 hours of gameplay depending on how much you explore the world.”
- “This game's combat mechanics and item customization are both top notch.”
- “Gameplay also very poor.”
- “I just wish there were more classes for more different gameplay!!”
- “It's not for me too much nonsense and micromanaging; I need ease of gameplay for less stress, just jump in and play.”
graphics
44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
52% positive mentions, 41% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions
The graphics are generally praised for their classic, nostalgic, and polished artwork that complements the gameplay and story well, though some note they can feel old-school or modest compared to big-budget titles. Many appreciate the visual improvements, detailed art, and overall atmosphere, especially given the platform limitations. While not always spectacular, the graphics effectively enhance the gaming experience without overshadowing gameplay depth.
- “A great story with amazing graphics and simple to understand gameplay is what awaits you in this latest offering from the best developers out there.”
- “The graphics are very good, much better than I had expected on a cellphone.”
- “Graphics are great and the overall atmosphere of the game is brilliant!”
- “Graphics also very poor.”
- “Hopefully they can get a bigger budget for better graphics and effects.”
- “I'm not paying for what should be a free app... if the graphics and play controls were better, etc, maybe 99¢.”
grinding
11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
18% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 82% negative mentions
Grinding in the game is minimal or absent, which many players appreciate as a refreshing change from typical free-to-play RPGs that rely heavily on it. While combat can become tedious for some, the focus on story progression and skill combinations keeps the experience engaging without repetitive leveling. Some players, however, express a desire for monster respawns to enable more traditional grinding and skill growth.
- “There was no arm-twisting to get me to buy it, no grinding to get X to unlock Y, etc. As a player of free-to-play MMORPGs on my PC, this is a welcome change and definitely the way to get loyal customers.”
- “And there's no grinding :-D.”
- “I'd like to see monsters respawn to allow for grinding and growing customer skills.”
- “Only option right now is to tediously scroll around the map.”
- “I stopped playing Shadowrun Returns because there was too much dialogue-to-action, and I've stopped playing a handful of others because either the fights became tedious or the controls were frustratingly bad.”
monetization
10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
20% positive mentions, 30% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions
The game features no ads or spyware and can be fully played offline without pay-to-win mechanics, which many users appreciate. However, some criticize the heavy reliance on in-app purchases for most content, viewing it as misleading or excessive, especially when presented without clear demo indication. There are also reports of issues like lost save files tied to purchases, which detract from the overall experience.
- “Best part is there's no ads, fully playable offline and not pay to win (although you have in-game purchases, they are not annoying or required to progress).”
- “It's a great time waster and the lack of in-app purchases is a huge plus.”
- “Making 99% of the game's content an 'in app purchase' so you can get downloads is skeazy, especially when also selling class upgrades. Tell people it's a demo in the summary.”
- “I hate microtransactions with a passion, so when I heard it costs 99 cents per episode, and 1.99 per extra character, I only planned to play through the demo.”
- “Randomly deleted all my save files and in app purchases.”
music
9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
67% positive mentions, 22% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

- “The production values are great, the battles are tense and rewarding to get just right, and the depth of character development lets you create the ultimate build for your play style or leaderboard run.”

replayability
5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Replayability in the game is generally seen as solid, with classic tactical RPG elements and an engaging storyline that encourage multiple playthroughs. However, some players express concern over certain characters being locked behind paywalls or requiring full completion to unlock, which may limit replay value for some.

- “I hope that the game has a long story and some replay value; if not, hopefully they will release new chapters or stories in the future.”
- “Paying to unlock the rest of the story is one thing, but the other characters should be unlocked one per chapter and the rest after a complete playthrough; otherwise, the game has no replay value.”
- “I hope that the game has a long story and some replay value, if not hopefully they will release new chapters or stories in the future.”
- “Classic tactical RPG elements and an engaging storyline are present, but replay value depends on optional characters that can only be accessed for a fee.”
