Maybe none at all. *2026-03-24* Got because it’s on sale based on my experience with the very fun Nerd Survivors. Even wrote the developers a fan letter. Something I almost never do. That said, this has to be the single worst touch control experience I’ve ever had bar none. I’ll continue to try what I’ve learned, but it’s been inordinately hard. Actually touching icons doesn’t work. It’s incredible to me this hasn’t been updated after all this time. Despite what I’ve read online there appears to be no controller support at all. The App Store itself often fails to mention when it is. Disappointing. Makes me skeptical of the whole catalog. Edit: No cloud saves. Deletion permanent. Will request a refund when possible even at $1. Lost time never to be used again. ### 2/5 — Bug on desert arena quest *2024-06-11, version 2.0.3* The game has been fantastic so far except for one bug I’ve run into. At the desert arena where you have to answer the four questions, the last question (What is the greatest indie app ever created?) is bugged. It doesn’t matter what answer you give he will call you a puny human and tell you that you have failed his test. You then die, game over. This makes it impossible to get all of the dragon orbs. ### 4/5 — Bis jetzt ganz gut, mit dem wie ich finde gewissen etwas an Humor *2022-08-04* Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ### 5/5 — Отличная игра *2021-11-02* Каждая отсылка бесценна очень понравилась игра. Прикрутите плёс управление с джойстикам. ### 5/5 — Great for your (other) D&D fix between games *2021-10-27, version 1.9.0* This game is dripping with personality and humor. These folks know their audience. Great old school pixel RPG. ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-09-16, version 1.9.0* I love this game. ### 5/5 — Cool *2021-08-20, version 1.9.0* Nice detail, funny ### 5/5 — good game *2021-08-07, version 1.9.0* pogas ### 5/5 — Sehr gut bis jetzt *2021-07-13* Das Spiel macht bis jetzt einen sehr guten Eindruck! ### 5/5 — Sehr unterhaltsam! *2021-07-04* Spiele schon seit mehreren Stunden und es macht mir total viel Spaß! Sehr schöne Story mit lustigen Dialogen, jedem zu empfehlen!!! ### 5/5 — Only forty minutes in.. *2021-07-02, version 1.9.0* Been playing for forty and only stopped to write this review because the developers deserve it!! Love every bit of it! No going back to playing it!! ### 3/5 — Fun, but the incessant asking for a review gets tiresome *2021-04-20, version 1.9.0* Fun. ### 5/5 — Classic RPG *2021-03-15* This is a great tongue-in-cheek fun RPG! ### 5/5 — Super *2021-01-05, version 1.9.0* Tolles Old-School 😀 ### 5/5 — Шикарная игра *2020-11-24* Все круто ### 5/5 — Sehr schönes Spiel *2020-11-07, version 1.9.0* Mit viel fun und Esprit, gelungenes Game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dwarven Bug Issue *2025-12-15, version 2.0.3* Paid for this game, sought help in their discord and was not answered. Seeking help please ### 1/5 — Controls not working? *2023-01-13, version 2.0.3* I could not move the cursor, so no way to play. Deleted ### 1/5 — Controls are impossible *2021-12-30, version 1.9.0* I wasted my money on this game, I cannot get past the tutorial because the controls make absolutely no sense and nothing I do will allow me to advance. Extremely frustrating and unfair. ### 1/5 — Bug *2021-02-02, version 1.9.0* I decided to play this game all over again since I remember playing it 2 years ago. I played it and after the first dungeon the one filled with skeletons when I get the red key and go to the door after the chapter screen and where the crystals are and where you are summoned to the castle I can’t move from the place or even click to continue the dialogue that happened once you enter ### 1/5 — Controllers are idiotic *2019-08-02, version 1.9.0* I despise the controllers—it’s a phone game, so make the controls dead simple. Time to take off of my phone again. What a waste of the money I’ll never get back. Do not buy. I was hoping for something like Knight of Pen and Paper 2, but this is trash. ### 1/5 — Awesome retro style RPG! *2018-10-16* I play this game so much I got fired from my job. My girlfriend at me and she shacked up with another girl! I’m behind on my bills and I having no food in my fridge. Who cares!? I’m playing this game instead of working and being responsible! ### 1/5 — Bought ad-free, have to restart and lose progress! *2018-05-06, version 1.9.0* I bought the ad-free version and I have to start over to use it! I created an account and uploaded my saved progress from the free version. But when I try to download the saved from on the paid version, I just get a “downloading saved files”. I even left it on overnight and when I woke up it still said the same “Downloading...” message. Lame! I want a refund or at least fix this problem ### 1/5 — No lo compréis *2017-11-09, version 1.8.3* Uno más de esos juegos desarrollados por un pequeño desarrollador, que abandona el soporte de la app, y ésta deja de funcionar tras actualizaciones del Ios. Apple, cómo puedes permitir que esto pase cuando tu fortaleza es un sistema seguro y estable que controla las aplicaciones que se desarrollan para el mismo? Al final esto es un robo, ya que pagas por algo que no funciona. D&D, bienvenido al cementerio de las apps. ### 1/5 — I peggiori soldi mai spesi *2017-09-24, version 1.8.3* Il gioco sarebbe carino, se non fosse per il fatto che molto spesso si blocca, a volte, se sei fortunato, riprende dopo 4-5 secondi, ma nella maggior parte dei casi il gioco rimane bloccato e per farlo ripartire bisogna riavviarlo, perdendo così i progressi di gioco. Dato che il gioco ha un costo sarebbe stato opportuno sistemare questo enorme problema che lo rende ingiocabile. I peggiori soldi spesi in vita mia, se li davo ad un senzatetto avrei fatto meglio. ### 1/5 — Funny Creative Game that Disrespects God *2016-06-18, version 1.8.3* I'm an old school tabletop rpg player that was looking for a game that had that flavor to it. Played this for about 12+ hours. A large part of the game is very funny & creative. They didn't need to put as much profanity in it as they did. I quit playing when I encountered one of the evil bosses that quite clearly started quoting bits from Scripture, and referring to himself as the Alpha & Omega, one of the names of God. I'll use an old fashioned word and say that was blasphemous. To the devs, leave plagiarism of God out of your games. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent RPG *2025-10-28, version 2.0.3* Pleasantly surprised by this RPG, old school feel with some nice humor included. Strongly recommend! ### 5/5 — Excellent fun RPG *2024-09-30* Excellent old style RPG with lots of quirky humour and gear/weapons/armour etc to find buy and use. No micro transactions or any of that just a good fun game. *the link to rating in the game is broken though. ### 5/5 — Love this game. *2023-01-25, version 2.0.3* Fun game. The two sequels are amazing as well. ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-01-12* An outstanding game with references to several other games and animes. The turn-agility based fight is very good, works fine! It’s worth it! ### 5/5 — Viel Spaß im Retro - look *2022-12-23* Tolles Spiel! Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut fair. Ich finde super, daß man wählen kann, ob man die kostenpflichtige (ohne Datenerhebung!) Version oder die kostenlose Version spielen möchte. Ist heutzutage selten ( keine in App Käufe keine Personenbezogen Daten - Top!) Die Story ist witzig und die Grafik niedlich. Die Hauptgeschichte ist ohne Probleme auch für Anfänger zu schaffen. Gamer die schon länger dabei sind kommen aber auch nicht zu kurz. Ich hatte so einige nostalgische Momente (Grafik, easter eggs…). Den Tip mit dem Speichern sollte man ernst nehmen. Das Speichern ist jederzeit ganz einfach zu machen. (Bei mir gab es doch so einige Abstürze. Das kann nach einer Stunde Spielzeit echt ärgerlich sein.) Die Steuerung ist nach einer Gewöhnungsphase sehr angenehm. Habe gerade Teil 2 geladen. Hierzu - Teil 2 ist in Deutsch. Ich war da unsicher, weil in den Kommentaren etwas anderes steht… ### 5/5 — Топ игра *2022-10-24* Игра хорошая мне зашла цену оправдает сами убедитесь да есть нюансы но в целом игра хорошая советую ) ### 5/5 — Восторг! *2022-09-14* Великолепная игра На РУССКОМ языке в духе старых классических РПГ. Потрясающий юмор которым пронизана эта игра подкупила меня! Жду новых частей! Безумно рад что среди сотен "проходных" игр на айпаде нашёл эту жемчужину. Отдельное спасибо что игра идёт на старых айпадах! ### 5/5 — RPG Maker masterpiece *2022-07-24* A master JRPG i hope i still had the rpg maker with me to make a game similar to this. ### 5/5 — So fun *2022-04-06, version 1.9.0* This game made me laugh, it was entertaining and I had a great time playing it. As soon as I finished I got the advanced doom and destiny. I wish there were more from this developer, I really enjoyed their creation ### 5/5 — шедевр *2021-11-25* переодически устанавливаю заново и перепрохожу, не видел ещё ни одной игры на телефоне, которая могла бы также погрузить в себя --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
