Best Phone RPG ever... Only 10 hours in but worth every penny. Beautiful lore, art, and music. No ads or in-app purchases. A throwback to when RPGs were more of a "choose your own adventure novel" with clear points where you make important choices as opposed to the modern go-anywhere sandbox. But the decisions are interesting, difficult, and meaningful in lots of ways. Easy to play for half hour intervals.

Great game. I absolutely loved it when I played it on PC years ago. I downloaded it to revisit the game and I can't equip items. The drag function does not work for me. I am using a Samsung Galexy s10. If that bug gets fixed, this is easily a 5 star game! Edit: Still waiting on a big fix, but the response from Versus Evil was quick and it is clear they care.

I was interested in this game a few years ago and never got around to purchasing it. I should have done so sooner. Pretty great turn based strategy RPG. Artwork is beautiful. Excellent creativity in how the world is developed. I only have two complaints. The story is a bit difficult to follow in the begining. The descriptive text in towns and battle are difficult to read most of the time. You have to get pretty close to the screen. I will be buying part 2 and 3 for sure.
