This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. We updated the game to make it work again on iOS11. And we made the game free. It doesn't even have ads. :-) Enjoy our firstborn, the game that started smuttlewerk!

Cool

Interesting and fun action rpg. You can pause combat, but for a limited period to give commands, so it isn't too full on. The controls and layout are quite fiddly and takes a while getting used to bit it's not too bad after that. Only got through a few levels so can't comment on the whole game but well worth a try if you like rpgs, dungeon crawlers or tactical combat.

Could do with a mini map or a map overview though and I'd much prefer to move the screen with one rather than two fingers.

Companions

The graphics are great but with the awkward controls, choppy movements and having to zoom out to fit the rooms on the screen because you cannot slide the room over like most other games takes all the fun out of a potentially awesome game seriously disappointed 😞

One of the best from the golden age of the App Store

So great to see it resurrected. Too bad they felt it needed to be free (truly free, not free-to-play) because I’d love to see an updated version of this baby. One that costs a few bucks up front, after which you can play forever.

Why so many mobile players prefer to rent their games via consumable IAPs is beyond me...

To Developer: Thank you for the response! Yes, that was me back in the day. Always a big fan of your work. Best of luck navigating these new freemium-filled waters.

Ol skoola

Great game. Good RPG well worth investing some time into even if the learning curves a little steep. Use the tactical pause!
