  • The game offers a deep and engaging experience with various classes, pets, and crafting systems, making it highly replayable.
  • Players appreciate the developer's responsiveness to feedback and the continuous updates that enhance gameplay.
  • The ASCII graphics and simple interface provide a nostalgic feel while allowing for complex gameplay mechanics.
  • The game can be extremely challenging, especially in the early stages, leading to frustration for some players.
  • There are reports of balance issues, such as enemies being disproportionately strong compared to the player's level, making progression difficult.
  • Some players have experienced bugs and crashes that hinder their gameplay experience.
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a desire for a more developed storyline in the game, with suggestions for a main quest and additional game modes to enhance the narrative experience. While some appreciate the existing main story and side quests, they find the current questing system overly simplistic, often limited to fetch and escort tasks. Overall, there is a call for more complexity and depth in the storytelling and quest mechanics to enrich gameplay.

    • “The game is awesome, no ads, it has a main story quest along with side quests. You can choose to have permadeath on for a more challenging mode or off to just explore and enjoy the game. The movement system is nice along with the attacking system, and above all, it's a great time killer; nothing is ever really the same.”
    • “I do hope the questing becomes more complicated and advanced as the story continues and the game progresses in development.”
    • “Perhaps two game modes (story mode vs. endless). The current mode seems to be endless, but I could be wrong.”
    • “The only request I would have is that I wish it also had more of a storyline you could optionally follow.”
    • “I wish there was a 'main story' and island levels were based on that.”
    • “The base system is here but you hardly have anything to do other than fetch quests and escort quests.”
  • music
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's soundtrack is generally praised as a significant improvement over its predecessor, featuring a good variety of tracks that can be unlocked through collectibles. However, some players express a desire for a more eerie atmosphere typical of roguelikes, as the current music leans towards a peppy dramatic style. While there are minor bugs with music overlap, they do not detract from the overall positive reception of the musical score.

    • “Highly underappreciated game in my opinion and has a good soundtrack with additional in-game collectibles that unlock new tracks.”
    • “The music is a vast improvement from the last game and the look of the game is more smooth and polished.”
    • “The musical score is excellent as well.”
    • “A little music overlap bug, but not game-breaking; it just plays the soundtrack again over itself out of time.”
    • “Please return the old BGM and add more music options. I honestly suggest illustrations for every monster and pet (although this is a very difficult request).”
    • “I just wish the music and atmosphere were more eerie, as it traditionally is with roguelikes, rather than the peppy dramatic piano music.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are intentionally simple, often utilizing ASCII art that evokes a retro aesthetic reminiscent of classic PC games. While some players express a desire for more visual detail, the minimalist approach does not detract from the overall immersive and enjoyable gameplay experience. Many appreciate that the lack of heavy graphics allows for smooth performance, particularly on mobile devices.

    • “Ascii graphics provide retro styling to what feels like a modern text-based RPG.”
    • “I love this game; I love all of these games. They are fun and not overly complicated, with no fancy graphics that lag out my phone. It's offline and can be played anywhere from home or without using data!”
    • “Without almost any graphics, the game is impressively immersive and fun.”
    • “It has the graphically simple gameplay complexity of a classic PC game.”
    • “Graphics are basically non-existent, but that isn't at all a detriment to this game.”
    • “I do sometimes wish I could have graphics, even if they were crude, but it doesn't detract from a great game.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its smooth mechanics and depth, reminiscent of classic PC games, offering a blend of simplicity in design with complex RPG elements. Players appreciate the challenging nature of the game, particularly the no permadeath mode for practice, though some find certain aspects unfair. Overall, the developer's responsiveness to feedback adds to the positive reception of the gameplay experience.

    • “Has some deep mechanics and plays really smooth.”
    • “This game's ability to have such a simple design but in-depth RPG mechanics blows me away.”
    • “It has the graphically simple gameplay complexity of a classic PC game.”
    • “The developer seems very kind and willing to act on feedback, so I'd be happy to change my review if the gameplay improves.”
    • “I also like the no permadeath mode as I use that as practice until I'm ready to take on the harsher environment of the permadeath gameplay.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a double-edged sword; while it can be enjoyable for those who appreciate a grindy RPG experience, it often feels tedious and can lead to frustrating setbacks, such as losing progress when transitioning between islands. The lack of a cohesive main story and the steep learning curve contribute to the feeling that grinding is sometimes pointless, especially when players risk dying due to insufficient gear or bad luck. Overall, while some players appreciate the grind, others feel it detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “So I was level 9 on the first island, and then became level 8 on the second... it's quite sad, to be honest, since grinding feels pointless. Technically, I could get stuck if I grind to a higher level but my items stay at their respective levels (wood/iron, some rare diamond). I wish there was a 'main story' and island levels were based on that.”
    • “There's a bit of a steep learning curve, and it can get tedious to restart repeatedly if you keep getting bad luck with attacks/escaping and die early on.”
    • “I've sailed on the boat after completing everything on the first island, which meant the first new islands I visited were at least level 7. This meant I either had to spend a lot of time grinding on the first island for money and experience, or risk dying instantly on the second.”
  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game boasts exceptional replayability, offering players the chance to restart with different races and strategies, which enhances the overall experience. With multiple races, classes, and a wealth of content, it provides endless enjoyment and variety, making it highly recommended for fans of RPGs seeking a game that remains engaging over time.

    • “Replay value on this gem is incomparable.”
    • “The randomness makes the replayability of the game enjoyable.”
    • “Still has a lot of replayability: you can restart with a different race and strategy.”
    • “Endless content and replayability.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its lack of ads and fair monetization, offering a balanced RPG experience without any intrusive schemes. However, some users criticize it as an unbalanced cash grab despite its low price of $2.99.

    • “It's a fair balanced RPG without any monetization scheme.”
    • “The game is awesome, no ads, it has a main story quest along with side quests, you can choose to have permadeath on for a harder mode or off to just explore and enjoy the game.”
    • “An unbalanced cash grab for $2.99”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent bugs and freezing problems that hinder gameplay. Despite an intriguing premise, players report that these technical difficulties detract from the overall experience, making it difficult to enjoy the game fully.

    • “Sorry to say I initially liked the premise, but it's very buggy. Much of the game is irrelevant, combat is homogeneous despite an overabundance of options, and the ending is like a kindergarten fantasy.”
    • “Amazing game, but every time I download it and play for a few days, it eventually freezes up. Every time I open it, it's just the RAR logo and it never loads. :(”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers feel that the game's atmosphere lacks the traditional eerie quality typically found in roguelikes, instead featuring a more upbeat and dramatic piano score that detracts from the intended mood.

    • “The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, drawing you into a world filled with tension and mystery.”
    • “The haunting sound design and visuals create an unsettling ambiance that keeps you on edge.”
    • “Every corner of the game is filled with a palpable sense of dread, making exploration both thrilling and terrifying.”
    • “I just wish the music and atmosphere were more eerie, as is traditionally expected in roguelikes, rather than the peppy dramatic piano music.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its near-perfect rogue-like mechanics, complemented by a subtle sense of humor that enhances the overall experience.

    • “A near perfect rogue-like with a subtle sense of humor.”
