Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
One of the better games Ive played on the phone for a long time.
Hero have been revive in mountain then can not move in to campaign.
We love Wizards and Magic games. This game so far is pretty good. THANK YOU for making this game.
Every time we complete a quest and goes to the rewards screen it freezes up.
Love this game! Brings us back to our youth – HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS.
So Im taking our family to universal studios in Florida and thats three hours in a plane one way. So with a total of six hours we knew we had to find something to do! We down loaded this thinking eh Ill give it a try, as it turns out though. It made the plane ride Awsome we got to level up to level 6. Then after everyone was settled in from the traveling we had a drink and continued awhile at the bar to see level 7. We think Im gonna have to finish it just to see the story and how it continues to evolve. This being a free game and that we got into it is amazing outstanding job guys THANK YOU.
Fun, exciting, great graphics, not at all dependent on in app purchases. Five Stars.
We get so tired of all these damned games with the goofy looking Anime faces. The moment we see that crap, we have to say, "No, we'll have to take a pass on that." This game , aside from the fact that it isn't based on some crappy, Japanese cartoon, is not only fun, it's addictive, and just keeps on going. Hats off to you, the creators. Signed, Not A Fan of Anime.
Had a lot of fun with this game – even bought the extended chapters, which Im playing through right now. Its not perfect, but very fun and a great value. Lots of player options to choose – rogue, warrior, mage, with specialization like fire, ice, poison, etc. Monsters are fairly challenging and there are some fun unexpected side plots. Only complaint we have is the pathing – its annoying to get stuck trying to push past a companion or trying to figure out if a narrow part of the map is even navigable. Very nice job overall. Thank you, devs, designers & team! Was just what we were looking for.
This is a strong game to keep you engaged especially on an iPad. Its a classic D&D game, but with better style and focus than many of the other games out. You dont need to invest money just time to get to a high level. We have beaten it once already and now playing again with different weapons. Well worth the time and energy.
We like this game because it allows you to control what youre doing or where youre going its not the computer playing the game for you in your watching and its not forcing you to rush anywhere lets still keep you focused on the direction we need more games like this one.
Fun game but a couple suggestions: 1. Needs to be an option to expand map or a separate window. 2. Some spells should be able to be cast while running.
This is a amazing, fantastic, great, funny, game with gravy on mashed potatoes and southern fried chicken steak. We beat the game and hope the character returns to see his homies again!!!!! Yah.
We like the implementation of this game. Especially that your character does not lose things like when you die or reset the quests.
This game is just wonderful if you prefer old school rpgs. It is worth every penny.
So tired of auto leveling and no input on attributes if there are more than a heart and a shield… WARHAMMER ODYSSEY is good for the above too!!! SiR DANALUS GerbilThumpIdeations&Creations.
Some issues here and there but overall good game.
We are really enjoying this off line casual game that does not have opponents that outspend you and take your stuff. Fun casual game.
Its very well built! The combat is great and engaging! Difficult enough to make you actually tactical instead of just aimlessly button smashing! Reminds us of the original Demon Souls in terms of difficulty because it takes some time to find the right taktics and level up and get better gear! The story is engaging and resembles that of Diablo in both gameplay and character customization. If anything its a bit better as there is no exclusive classes and your character can use any weapon you wish as long as he meets the stat requirements! Super great game to get into and pass the time! Highly recommended.
Reminds us of Diablo. The controls are a little tricky at first but you get used to it.
Love this game! Beat it in a few days, cant wait for the next update.
The first act is free. Diablo style. Good game.
This game is really good. Theres a lot to do and many different items to customize. It keeps track of the time spent playing for some reason. Ive been playing for a total of 10 hours over the course of a few days and Im not bored. This isnt one of those games where you have to pay to be good. Ive watched all their ads and they pay you in game money so its worth it. They charge for additional expansions but 3.99 is definitely worth it.
Amazing music, and fun! The game is simple, not a word of warcraft or diablo 3, but its because it is a mobile game. They summarize the experience is such way, the game has best things of a pure classic RPG. Congratulations guys! Keep it up!! (also, is not pay to win. They let you play the first half of game free and you can pay for the rest if you want (3.99$) we totally paid it… This guys deserve it.
Was looking for something like diablo on mobile this is it. Fun and worth buying the acts just be mindful the beginning is grindy and leveling takes time.
This is really a well-made and well-crafted game. Took us about 30 hours to finish it the first time. Its actually quite difficult! Your character will likely get killed a lot early on. Thats part of the fun, though. Theres plenty of variety in the items and skills/spells you can learn. It was a whole different experience playing it the second time through. Anyone who is a fan of Diablo will likely love this game. And the mobile experience was top notch. Congrats to the developers! (we need to go into the app and make a few more purchases to reward you – because buying things wasnt necessary at all to 100% enjoy this game).
Generous free play, reasonably priced expansions and simple, fun game action. Looks good too. No multiplayer so no pressure to be busy or distracted, just play at your leisure. Difficulty setting for easy, normal, hard, so it plays the way you want, nice.
You reach a point where you cant do anything and it seems like the developers stopped updating game. It was good while it lasted.
Beyond the fun hack and slash aspects it has a really good story. It is also just really well designed. We especially like that you can reinvent yourself part way through if you want. Played melee for a while, then switched to archer. Gonna try being a couple kinds of mages too. The purchases are very reasonable and well worth it.
We dont have much to say about the fine mechanics of this game, but we can say we enjoy this game very much. We were looking for a Diablo-ish game we could play in the small moments afforded to us as a dad to a 4year old in a pandemic, working a full time job, on top of our day to day responsibilities, and this game satisfied our desire to play while Im in the bathroom or right before we call it a day. So far we have yet to spend any money on this game, so if your looking for a free to play game, this game is doable in that regard, however we will probably put some money into the game to support the developers. Theres nothing like slaying goblins, zombies and mutant spiders to help you disengage from the odd times we live in, so thank you to the developers for the escape.
Outstanding game! Ive been looking for something like the Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance game for a long time. This is better than that. We like the character flexibility; no contrived classes or restrictions. Good challenges. Easy to play. A very solid game. Thanks.
We purchased one $12.99 pack and got nothing in our account for it, thinking we may have forgotten to finalize the transaction we did it again, still nothing added to our account, so we chose the lesser $7.99 pack and finally that gets items added to our account but we were billed for three transactions. We attempted the restore purchases options several times and still only received the $7.99 pack items in our account. The game either needs to adde items for the 2 failed $12.99 transactions to our account or refund $12.99 x 2.
More monsters more gear more maps and quest. Also Id like an open world feel not a one quest at a time story line. Thats cool for a main quest line but we dont want to feel forced to the end of the game. Id rather have fun take our time and build an awsome guy. Other than that its a good game nice graphics and story and we like how the items in the shop change and that you get gold fairly easy.
WOW!! This game plays more like a pc/console game than an app and reminded us immediately of amazing classics like Baldurs Gate. We cannot express how incredibly well done this game is! Uniquely, this game doesnt force players to limit themselves to a class. Players manually distribute stats and fully customize character strengths. Additionally, you can actually EXTRACT the power from a special item and put it onto something else. (Like if you find enchanted chainmail with +1 constitution, you can extract the +1 constitution from the chainmail and add it to anything with an open magic slot. SO useful!) Right now Im wielding a 40D sword, casting 90D spells, and tweaked our armor to regenerate life and mana. We LOVE THIS GAMEPLAY!! The fighting mechanics are awesome. The dodge/attack is magnificent, the sound effects are wonderfully satisfying. Theres even some hand-to-hand combat that plays better than most fighting games. Developers, you are clearly gamers with a true love of RPG. This is incredible, imaginative, magnificently programmed, and EXACTLY what an RPG should be. We have been searching for a game like this for years. THANK YOU.
Overall, an excellent game. Invisible walls are a nuisance. And the Barons daughter escort mission is just annoying. But its a solid game. We suppose one issue is the imbalance when it comes to items… Except in the beginning of the game, its exceptionally rare that youll find items remotely as good as those youll find in the town stores. Almost everything you find will either be sold, or scavenged for gems – and then sold. There are no uniques or otherwise rare finds to mix things up. Credit to the developer for avoiding money-grab in-game purchases. The first act is free; you can buy all the acts for a reasonable price. Another good point… In the options, theres a battery saver option which limits the frame rate. This works. The effect on the game is minimal, but it consumes FAR less battery power. Even less than many non-3D games Ive played.
So we have downloaded way to many games to count and this by far is the best one. Only things we wish they would change (just based of our opinion) we could see a bigger option of the map and not have to moved the screen for our character it would just stay behind him.
We really like the various missions assigned to each class. We wish it had a auto targeting system when lining up shots from a distance. There is a problem when trying to get extra rewards by watching a video. It sometimes locks up and you have to reopen the app.
This game reminds us of the old scale games d-n-d,wow classic,&even the old ever quests better them than all. Now the slight bad part -the game offers camera views but no turn scale turning is a bit over clocked other then this point-Best Game EVER . We played a tun of games and we got to admit we tossed so many away this game you can play for ever and injoy.
We have really enjoyed playing this game. We originally bought it because we were going on a cruise but we would not have any connectivity. We found its off-line capabilities to be excellent and was able to play it the whole time with no connectivity. We really enjoyed the game especially the leveling, skills that you acquire and what you can do with extracting and enchanting gems. The combat battles are a lot of fun to have because its always a bunch of monsters against just the two of you so you have to be kind of innovative to beat them. We were also very happy about the price for the game and then the two companion games with it at only 399 for the pack well worth the price.
Its a very impressive game!! We like the free roam aspect of it. There are 2 big flaws, the graphics and the story. The graphics looks stupid. Is seems very basic. The story is very boring. It doesnt grab our attention.
We don't use data on our phone so having a good rog to use when we have a break at work is pretty awesome.
There are a number of bugs and glitches that become annoying. The is a definite need for balancing as during act one you have to chug potions but in act 2 on you can find gear that increase regen for health and mana. Once you are over 200% regen you dont need potions unless you get crit by a monster. Some bosses can 1 shot you. The story is okay but the texts moves quickly at some points and pause doesnt work on all the cutscenes. Overall, its worth a play through.
We had a nice time playing the first act (which is free) and it is was definitely worth playing. Some things we noticed that could use some attention are as follows: Buff the follower because he basically gets 1 shotted and spends all his time on his back. Buff the followers at the end of the act in the escort because we failed a mission about 10 times because she kept dying. (Even though we were healing her constantly) Take tp scrolls out of inventory and put them in the regular equipment inventory. Lower early monster damage because they are too strong for the game to be enjoyable. Past that stuff we had fun playing it and am considering purchasing the extra acts.
Thats our only criticism. Theres no real targeting so that makes defeating enemies a challenge. Once youre aware, you can do a work around but dont choose ranger. Bow shoots the direction you stand because theres no targeting mechanism. Youll spend valuable time turning towards enemies and getting hit by enemies while you do so. Also, you die a lot no matter what hero type. We mean, really a lot before you can buy decent gear AND level up skills. Even then, you still die a lot, and respawn at the last autosave. Which is usually at start of the area you may have completed before you died. Meaning, progress erased and enemies respawned too. Still fun to play despite all this.
This is a fun good game. Reminds us kinda of Diablo 2. Theres definitely some room for improvement though. More skills/spells would be nice. Also we think you should be able to buy arcane stone things with gold maybe 25k to 100k for a stone idk something reasonable.
Recently with the ever growing pandemic going on in the world Ive been spending a lot of time playing around with apps on our phone, and if you like games similar to the Diablo franchise this game game is a great place to start. Although we havent reached very far in the quest line, Ive had a lot of fun with it so far, and the game seems to run very smooth and we havent ran into any bugs to speak of at all. The only thing that aggravates us in the app is when you move down a narrow corridor with your follower behind you and he blocks you from being able to move out of the corridor, and pushing him or rolling towards him is very slow and time consuming. Im a big fan of the mage archetype so we started learning all of the elemental spells at first, and while very powerful, even maxing out our intelligence with all five stat points every level didnt seem to be enough to sustain our mana without chugging down potions. Melee weapons are found everywhere, and archers dont have a need for arrows because the bows fire without them as far as we know, but the mage has to have mana to use the spells, so it kind of puts them in a more expensive spot spending most of their gold on potions. Other than those complaints we believe this game is definitely heading in the right direction, and we can really tell the developers know what they are doing, and are very capable of making this game a 5/5.
Ive been playing the game for a week or so now and am halfway through act 3. So far, so good. Gameplay is simple but engaging, the leveling system and skill trees are straightforward, and we love how open character development is. While the game is fairly linear, we still feel there are enough side quests to make it feel bigger than it is. Feels very similar to Diablo 3 without being a total clone. Also, it really does feel pretty freemium aside from the need to purchase anything beyond act 1 (and really, purchase price is just fine for the quality of content). A few areas could use some improvement – 1. Collision. Oftentimes our henchmen have gotten us killed by boxing us in, preventing us from dodging enemy mechanics or hits. If collision is going to be present in this case, henchmen AI could use some improvement. 2. Gold. Though you do lose a certain % of gold at higher levels of difficulty, gold seems fairly unimportant. You collect so much through the course of play that buying expensive items doesnt feel very exciting. Im not sure if there are any special artifacts in the game, but so far gear is just a tool with no unique value to it. This may have been intended, and could be our personal preference, but Id like gear acquisition to feel more impactful. Otherwise this is a solid title. Small tweaks aside, Id recommend it to anyone who wants a solid sword+board style RPG on the go.
Add a way to lock the camera angle and adjust the sensitivity please.
Im in the third act, and its a really fun game. If you like action rpgs, this one is for you. Graphics are great (some clipping issues, but for a $4 game, its hard to complain). Tons of content, looking like at least 15-20 hours to play through. Our biggest compliant, however, is the balancing, or lack thereof. If you like playing as a mage, the game is really fun. But when we tried to play as a straight fighter, the game became almost impossible very quickly. Enemy mages and archers do so much damage that our fighter was dying constantly. Its possible we wasnt playing properly, but we just think armor needs to mitigate more damage to compensate for close range play styles. By contrast, a magic using character with practically no armor, can progress much more easily because of the range and damage of the spells. Maybe the developer is going for realism, or maybe we were just allocating our stats incorrectly. A few other quibbles; 1) it would be nice to get better feedback if you start taking damage, often times we die and wasnt even aware we were getting hit. 2) better feedback when you block or dodge an attack, let us know that our shields or dodging is working. 3) better item drops instead of just upgrading at the store and swapping gems around, killing a monster and seeing an item drop should be exciting! 4) speaking of gems, let them be an item drop too. All that said, we still recommend the game. Its a great mobile way to scratch that ARPG itch.
The game world is interesting and looks properly creepy, monsters are challenging, and the dialogue can be fun sometimes. We dont much like the way the touch controls work, though, with an invisible vertical dividing line on the screen for rotating the view vs. Moving the character. Too easy to accidentally do one thing when you want to do something else.
