### 2/5 — Вылет игры

*2024-11-23*

Вылетает часто

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2023-02-25, version 2.9.3*

Game crashing on IPad Air with iOS 16.1 :(

//edit
iOS 16.3 and still crashing on startup :(

### 4/5 — Loving it

*2023-01-09*

Great game, can tell a lot of time and effort was put into it! Only issue I have is crashing (iOS). It does have an auto-save, but I definitely recommend hitting every “save” crystal you come across as well so you don’t lose much progress.

### 3/5 — Cant open the game.

*2022-09-30, version 2.9.3*

I already buy this game and play it for month. Than suddenly i cant open the game. Can you help me please

### 2/5 — Bellissimo gioco con un grosso “MA”

*2022-08-08, version 2.9.0*

Questo gioco trova assolutamente il mio gusto. Lo trovo stupendo e assolutamente divertente, unica nota abbastanza dolente (almeno nel mio caso) è che dopo poco più del 25% gioco l’app non viene più aperta dal mio dispositivo -iPhone 8-, viene mostrata solo la schermata di avvio e poi si chiude improvvisamente nonostante i numerosi tentativi. 
Gran, gran, gran peccato, soprattutto per un app a pagamento.

### 5/5 — Such an amazing ride

*2022-02-05*

I had such a great time playing this game. After having finished the whole thing I am now working on a few endgame things for fun. I really do hope they make another one. I put a solid 70 hours into this game and that ranks it up there with some of the best rpgs I’ve played. Graphics are fun and it just hits a lot of the right spots. I wish the map was more interactive. But that’s really about my only complaint. Keeping my fingers crossed for a third title!!!

### 5/5 — The dream team is back

*2021-11-26*

Great new entry.  I love the control update.  Same humor and satire. Good balance of new mechanics while keeping it easy to pick up right after the first game.  You don’t have to play the original but it’s also well worth a go too.

### 5/5 — Game pad

*2021-11-10, version 2.8.5*

Add game pad support, please!

### 5/5 — WOW

*2021-08-27*

This game completely blows the original out of the water. If that game was basically a goofy homage to classic jrpgs, this game is an evolution of them instead, with interesting and fun new mechanics. The class changes are a welcome addition along with all the aesthetic options for your characters. My biggest complaint would be that it’s a tad too easy to select the wrong option in battle. If you swipe too quickly, the game will register it as a tap and cause you to do the wrong actions. Maybe an option to separate the sides of the screen a la the original would have been nice, although for navigation it’s still an improvement to be able to control the game one handed. All in all this is a turn based rpg that no fan of the genre should ignore.

### 2/5 — Not quite doing it for me

*2021-08-07*

I bought this because I really liked the humor of the first one. This still has some of the humor, but there too many things I’m not liking. The combat system feels streamlined, same as gear and actions, but not necessarily for the better. It takes choice and control out of the player’s hands. Yes while you can still decide if you want Cleave instead of Double Slice as your hero’s options, it relegates it to some sidebar function, like an afterthought. The switch of putting the order of players on the right side of the screen instead of the usual left is annoying and adds nothing to gameplay other than trying to be different. Same as pressing on screen for x seconds to bring up menu. The swipes were fine, why change? Everytime u put ur finger on the screen, the menu popped up or the map would. Also the humor is constantly hampered by the typos and misspelling, and hackneyed jokes. I can’t begin to count the amount of misspelling. Did they outsource this to China? I wanted to like this, but it was only meh. This lacked the freshness and irreverence of the first game.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-05-24, version 2.8.5*

Love it

### 1/5 — malware? at least forced cookies.

*2024-09-30, version 2.9.3*

as soon as I opened the app, Safari was forced open to a google play window.  For a paid game that claims not to collect any data, this is pretty shady.  I’ll be requesting a refund on this one.

### 1/5 — No abre la app

*2024-07-24, version 2.9.3*

Es un juegazo, pero después de pagar no me deja abrir la aplicación. La he vuelto a descargar y nada.

### 1/5 — Help

*2023-11-06, version 2.9.3*

I purchased the game for 4.99. It won’t open.

### 1/5 — I can’t open the app

*2023-10-18*

Dear developpers,

Thanks a lot.

### 1/5 — error

*2023-09-29, version 2.9.3*

i give it a 1 star i already buy this premium version but cannot be open i cant play the game how sad my device is iphone 11

### 1/5 — 5 star game now ONLY, INSTANTLY crashes

*2023-07-11, version 2.9.3*

Great game.  I’ve played it through a bunch. This review is posted only temporarily, until the game works again.  I’m hoping!  Crashes 1 sec into opening the app. Every time, no exceptions. OK, developer, what’s up?

### 1/5 — Can’t open app

*2022-10-05, version 2.9.3*

I got this version to get rid of the ads played the lite version and it worked fine.

### 1/5 — Non funziona ancora

*2022-09-17, version 2.9.3*

Con l’ultimo aggiornamento il gioco non si apre comunque, aggiustatelo per favore. PS Il gioco è meraviglioso.

### 1/5 — Added support for new phone formats?!? NOPE

*2022-07-29*

Finally picked this up because I had been waiting for an update to support iPhone X and larger screens. So when I saw there was an update there weeks ago that said it was adding that support, I immediately bought it. But this app isn’t updated. Still same boxed in format it always has been. Doesn’t even extend the controls (ie, you can still see the time, etc on the screen). Not a happy customer!

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2021-05-22*

Пишет не удается подключиться к серверу??? За что я заплатил?

### 5/5 — STUPENDO

*2026-05-03, version 2.9.3*

Semplicemente il gioco più bello sullo store.

### 5/5 — CAPOLAVORO

*2025-12-17, version 2.9.3*

Conosco Doom & Destiny dai tempi del liceo. Quando ci giocavo in classe lo soprannominavano “il giochino”. 
Anche questo secondo capitolo assieme al primo è un capolavoro e merita di essere giocato!

### 5/5 — Goliardicamente Sublime

*2025-12-16, version 2.9.3*

GG

### 5/5 — One of the best RPG i played

*2025-06-29, version 2.9.3*

this is a masterpiece, i love playing this kind of but sadly the 3rd version is different and not my liking hope the 4th version is like this

### 5/5 — Worth the price!

*2025-02-23*

This game exceeded my expectations. I tried the lite version and really liked it. Thanks Devs, great game!!!!

### 5/5 — Best RPG!

*2023-04-13, version 2.9.3*

I absolutely love this game. It hits all the right reference and humor buttons, and is reminiscent of the classic rpg games we grew up with. Love the characters! And I don’t even feel like talking to all NPCs is a chore :)

### 5/5 — Fantastico anche dopo anni

*2023-03-26, version 2.9.3*

Gioco al titolo ( ed al primo) saltuariamente da quando sono usciti praticamente 10 anni fa. Uno dei migliori gdr per mobile disponibili sugli store. Tante missioni secondarie, segreti da scoprire e variabili nei personaggi e combo da renderlo quasi infinito

### 5/5 — Serie di giochi bellissima!

*2022-10-10, version 2.9.3*

La saga di doom & destiny è bellissima e simpatica 😂

Unica cosa: sarebbe perfetto se metteste il supporto ai joypad come per Doom & Destiny Worlds

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-07-21*

I never thought i could devote so much time to the game on the phone, but it's just a miracle, there is a story, interesting and funny dialogues and much more, the first part of course i liked it more, but this part is very worthy, the developers wish it to develop further and attract more people!

### 5/5 — Funny

*2022-02-26, version 2.8.5*

Lots of fun
