Gameplay flaws are fatal

There are many battles where you stalemate. Your weapon is resisted and you heal. I gave up on the big boss after 200 rounds with us both at full health.

Some fun but too pricey

This game has some enjoyable elements. I guarantee the people who review and say "you are crybabies and you havent played video games like this before" are either idiots or the developers up-rating. There is lots to be said for upping the difficulty, but to make it uber hard to the point of losing because you dont know what to expect each quest is lame and unfun. Theres no strategy or skill involved in dying on a quest bc you picked the wrong set of guys, which you cant change between quests. Game is worth about 2.99 not 6.99. For some reason people think that a like of in app purchases automatically means they should charge 5$ more for it. Im also a sucker cause I obviously bought it

Gambling is right

Theres 2 problems: Bugs & Randomness of enemies. Your party doesnt have an immunity to (A)? Well the boss of this dungeon uses it & youre screwed if you arent immune. So you managed to beat the boss without that immunity? Well your save filed messed up so all you see now is an empty black square instead of your game. Congratulations!

Enjoyable Pixel Game

It took me a few deaths to figure out the best way to play the game, but once I did I was finally able to go through dungeons like a snap and finish up quests. The humor is pretty funny. And when you find that special armor or weapon for your adventurers its just an awesome feeling. The game is a bit pricey, but you get a lot in one game plus theres no IAP hovering around.

Best original rpg

This game has given me many hours of fun and challenging playtime. The premise is simple: choose 3 heroes and defeat 8 bosses to achieve a victory. The gameplay however is quite complex; it is turn based combat like final fantasy, the enemies inflict deadly status effects, bosses are strong with few weaknesses, and death is permanent. That last part might seem scary but it really adds to the game. With 30 characters part of the fun for me is to beat the game with 3 new characters each time. After using some of the stronger classes (especially healing ones) it becomes much harder to beat the game. This is definitely one of the best games Ive played on my iPhone and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys RPGs, roguelikes, lots of classes,or just a good challenge. Edit: Also to people complaining about not bringing the right sword use the neutral element (magic is best by itself, physical with armor beak).

Nope

Sorry guys. I thought, for the high price, this game would be vast and fun. It is neither. The confusing, repetitive, and frustratingly unforgiving gameplay makes for an extremely not-fun experience. I do not recommend this game to anyone and wish I could get a refund.

Cool Game but $7 is way too much

Please make Game Center Achievements worth more than 1pt per achievement. 5 pts is usually the minimum. Id appreciate it if it was possible to earn up to at least 500pts when adding up all the achievements. As far as the gameplay... Its fun. Aquiring gear and fighting bad guys is the perfect game. The fact Its way over priced though. $2 would be reasonable.

Fake Reviews abound! REAL review.

I am an old school and hardcore gamer. I think this game has potential but its DEFINITELY not worth $7. Its a fun throwback. The difficulty is high not because of your strategy and skill level but because its completely random. Sometimes it feels like gambling rather than gaming. You cant swap items in battle. Youre basically screwed if you dont have the type of damage you need. There is not enough content to warrant a $7 price tag, and the poorly balanced battle system and overly random drops and hero selection make the game fall just short of being fun. I have almost beaten the first story. But only once. I got lucky and got an awesome drop early in the game. It was like winning the lotto. Stay away until the debs add some more balance to this. Seriously. If you want old school hard core just grab dragon quest or final fantasy.

Great old school RPG

I love these type of games. You have to prepare for each dungeon to be successful. One thing I dont like are the mini encounters before you get to a dungeon. They can become repetitive. However, they are a small part of the game. Also, there is no exploration. You are pretty much on a rail after you exit the town. That being said, I definitely recommend this game.

Really good!!!

Old school and good pacing of difficulty thatll keep you on your toes. Really in depth and whole lot of customization! I loving this game!
