User Reviews

Reviewers praise the game's deep lore, open exploration, and satisfying old-school RPG combat, boosted by a responsive solo developer and great replayability. Common drawbacks center on stability issues, a challenging UI/UX, and tedious stat management. Overall, strong world-building and commitment from the developer stand out, with technical hiccups and interface quirks as the main caveats.

Pros

Deep story and lore with rich world-building and dialogue/books
Open exploration with many secrets and quests
Fluid combat with multiple playstyles and spell-learning from books
Dedicated solo developer who is responsive to feedback and free of ads/microtransactions
High replayability and strong value with many ways to overcome challenges

Cons

Stability and performance issues (crashes, frequent exits) on some devices
Save/load problems and needing to back up progress around fights
Interface/controls and navigation can be unintuitive; learning curve and hidden interactables
Some players find combat progression tedious due to heavy stat management and lack of respec
Occasional device-specific problems and rough edges

I really don’t bother writing reviews for games on iOS, because it’s iOS. Mostly filled with shovelware titles that are data mining the carp out of you. The fact that no data is collected in this game is a breath of fresh air. I haven’t played the game very much but what I did play I found enjoyable. I have an iPhone 13 mini and playing any game on this hurts my eyes from squinting. Or maybe I’d rather play a game on some other system. Regardless, the fact that the game is a pay once and done game and isn’t data mining me is all I need to give it a good review on a platform designed to sell your information to foreign threats at every opportunity.

I have been looking for something similar to the Eschlon series that never made it to some of the Mac OS updates. This game fills the bill, could use better instructions but there is information on how to play it online when googled. Good value for the price and interesting story line that changes with replays.
