Didnt expect the game to be short and making money in the game is pointless if I cant even spend it on anything. I paid for one magic sword and that was all I need to reach the end, the addlestones wernt even used until the final tower, I had 95 stones on me. 50k just to beat the game with it.

06/25/2026 Only Some game saves available offline, seems ISSUE with game exit,Dex? Android 16, May 1, 2026 update. . . Samsung S10FE. Roguish RPG with sword, bow, bard magic, tactics. Excellent graphics, funny snarky humor, several ways to win, Many Rare achievements doable. Playable offline. NO ads. Reloaded on new device by using original email for Google account. Didn't realize I finished 10 years ago but missed many achievements. Try the icons for inventory, actions, log, goals in progress.
