  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story features a mix of engaging quests and character interactions, but players note that important narrative elements can be easily overlooked, leading to confusion about plot points. While the overarching narrative includes themes of exploration and adventure, some players express frustration with save management that can hinder progress. Overall, the writing and RPG elements are praised, making it a recommended experience for fans of rich storytelling and art.

    • “Your training is almost over, so after being victorious in a tournament, the princess summons you to aid her in an important quest far deep into a forbidden land.”
    • “Nice story, there is a feeling of exploration, good RPG system, nice writing, turn-based combat.”
    • “Recommended if you like good art and lots of story.”
    • “Too easy to miss bits of story; I found out about the hermit from the fortune teller, and then he tells a story about hearing about him from a 'saved merchant,' which never happened.”
    • “You go on a quest to a town where you meet an old man.”
    • “You are doing a lot of quests and fighting on this map, and the game forces you to delete older saves. You end up with saves only in these locations, which means either you cheat to progress or you start the 15-hour adventure all over again. Nice!”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are basic and lack customization options, particularly on mobile devices, which limits players' ability to enhance visual quality. While the user interface is adequately designed and fits the game's text-based nature, overall expectations for graphical fidelity should remain low.

    • “The UI is sufficiently well done graphically; I'd definitely say the graphical style is suitable for this kind of game, just do not expect anything beyond basic.”
    • “The UI is sufficiently well done graphically; I'd definitely say the graphical style is suitable for this kind of game, just do not expect anything beyond basic.”
    • “There's no options to change the resolution for the mobile app or customize the graphics settings.”
    • “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality mobile phone graphics.”
    • “Graphics, as you would expect from a mostly text-based game, are very basic.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Narborion Saga offers an engaging choose-your-own-adventure experience that combines epic fantasy elements with RPG mechanics. However, some players have expressed frustration with the game's technical issues and poor mechanics, which detract from the overall gameplay experience.

    • “Narborion Saga is a choose-your-own-adventure delight, blending epic fantasy with RPG mechanics.”
    • “While I would like to provide a review regarding the gameplay and other aspects, the technical state of the game discouraged me from even attempting to give it a chance.”
    • “How does that make any sense, along with being terrible game mechanics?”
  • stability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous glitches that affect gameplay, such as items losing their visuals and stats, and text display errors. While these bugs can make the game unplayable at times, players note that the developers are responsive and actively work to address these issues.

    • “Unplayable, buggy as hell.”
    • “Glitches with the items on the character, losing their picture and stats and making them unsellable.”
    • “There are some glitches with the text, where it doesn't show you the correct form/length of starting a new episode.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is criticized for being repetitive, with limited soundtracks that fail to change even in different settings, such as taverns. Many players found it necessary to turn off the music after a short period due to its lack of variety.

    • “The writing is beautiful; music is repetitive.”
    • “After 1 hour, I switched off the music; it's the same music all the time.”
    • “Soundtracks are limited. For example, when you enter a tavern and select to hear the bard's local song, you don't get that; the soundtrack will be the same.”
    • “The writing is beautiful, but the music is repetitive.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been criticized for performance issues, despite its ability to run on low-end hardware like a toaster. While the problems are not deemed major, they still detract from the overall experience.

    • “Not optimized: performance”
    • “You'd expect this could run on a toaster; well, yes, it can run on a toaster, but it still has problems in performance.”
    • “This so far is the only performance issue; not major.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of Liber Primus Games and Volens Nolens Games has been criticized as unethical, with users labeling their practices as cash grabs that involve repackaging premade game templates and assets without original content. This approach is seen as a form of shovelware, where the focus is on quick profits rather than quality or innovation.

    • “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap, nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
    • “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam and cash grab.”
    • “Liber Primus Games and Volens Nolens Games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, either through this account or through closely linked or alternate accounts.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere in the game is highly praised, with many users considering it the standout feature and the primary positive aspect of the experience.

    • “The atmosphere is the best in this game!”
    • “The only positive I see is the atmosphere.”
