Complaining about auto rotate

Seriously? "It is upside down no matter how many times I flip my iPad". All you have to do is flip it once. It's not upside down just because the button isn't where you want it to be. Are you guys serious?

Also to those complaining about in app purchases, it says more DLC/characters can be bought right in the title. What the heck is wrong with you guys?

Anyways... Great game without auto-rotate. And those that cried about it should update their reviews now that it has been added.

Best mobile RPG ever!

Seriously, I've played tabletop RPGs for over 35 years, and this is the closest to that experience you'll find on mobile. Get this.

Amazingly detailed RPG

This game is so good!!! I've been waiting for it to come out on iOS for ages!!!

Enjoyable entry in the genre but some minor gripe

Update: screen orientation issue fixed, rating raised :) Not quite perfect but very nice indeed.

So far, so fun. I think it's distinct enough from Inkle's offerings, and I'm not going to complain about more entries in one of my favourite genres. Looks great on the larger iPad (but a minor issue, at the end).

However, now that you have this game engine working, and played it safe by recycling yet again an ancient gamebook, how about using it for some new, original content? (and of course the same holds true for Inkle as well) I'd very much support that! With my wallet!

One star docked for not auto sensing orientation... I understand that portrait mode is not an option since it changes the whole aspect ratio & layout, but come on, at least flip your game the right side up... many people use non-rotatable cases, how is that supposed to work? (Er, well... I had to fold over the cover completely and prop the whole thing up against something else on the table, awkward)

Modern nostalgia

Very impressed with the direction of an old 80's game book classic... I first fell in love with the series when I read Deathtrap Dungeon and later visited Firetop Mountain. The new visual 3D map while reading the text makes it seem like playing an old tabletop rpg and really immerses you in the Fighting Fantasy world. The old art and the new characters you choose from help catapult this app into an instant classic! I can't wait until they decide to make Deathtrap Dungeon in this format.

Rotation Fixed!

Update: it's all fixed so I can't complain. Now I'll finally. Be able really play the game. Thank you devs for the quick fix!

I play on an iPad Pro so it's very awkward being forced to play upside down. Otherwise, happy with the game :)

It's UPSIDE DOWN

No other complaints but it's a pain in the butt to play becasue it's upside down and does not readjust no matter how I turn my ipad

Great concept and beautifully designed, but frustrating

Love the concept of a tabletop RPG that's turned based. Graphics are beautiful and thought the use of miniatures was clever. However, the save points are far and few in between to the point that the frustration out weighed the fun for me. I like a good challenge, but some of the insta-kills with no chance seemed unnecessary.

Nostalgia

Clearly the people giving this a 1 star never actually played or read the books and were born around the year 2000, So therefor have no idea what they are on about.

If the creator can do all the books like this, then that would be awesome!

Great Game

All the people griping about auto-rotate make me laugh. I find the game very enjoyable and I like how the story is different for each character. Hope to see other games like this
