Once you level up to be decent in one area, you need to gain another level before moving to the next area, otherwise your team will get wrecked. The ogre tunnels is probably the worst designed area. There is one section that is cut off from the others and good luck finding the entrance for it. Waste of time. ### 2/5 — It’s okay *2024-08-31* It’s a good game I played it during my childhood but it crashes on me randomly and I lose all my progress won’t play until it’s fixed ### 2/5 — Power creep city *2023-10-29* As some have mentioned, the balance in progression is pretty bad. I’d almost feels like an idle RPG in that regard, which is not a kind comparison. And that great gear you found near a boss fight? It’s worthless the second you move to the next area. Nothing you find has any long-term value. The grind gets ridiculous after a while as leveling takes forever, even against monsters that regularly and predictably destroy you while you wander around (and you will wander a lot). ### 2/5 — Flawed JRPG *2021-06-13* A throw back to the JRPGs of the 90s. The game has a good character class selection which is about all it has going for it. Expect to die a lot! The enemies when you reach level 2 are punishing! Saving is only allowed at very specific points in the game. Look forward to losing all your progress after a fluke encounter leaves you outnumbered and underpowered. Skip this and save yourself the aggravation. ### 4/5 — Great app, but with more bugs. *2023-02-17, version 1.2* Still playing, but the progress was cut off by yet another bug during the progress. They’re should’ve been critic score or review so that’s too bad. ### 4/5 — Great game but has equipment glitches *2022-11-22, version 1.2* Sometimes on my iPad, I get an item with various mods and the equip button is behind the exit button, or off the bottom and it doesn’t let me equip it. Love the rest, it’s been playing great overall! ### 4/5 — Nostalgic, but… *2021-10-13, version 1.0* I’ve played this game for years, didn’t know it was updated and released on mobile. One problem I’m experiencing is ever since I’ve been on my way to the 3rd village I constantly crash and can’t walk for more than 1 minute without it up and crashing. ### 5/5 — 😁😁😁 *2022-03-03, version 1.0* Really wish he would release the second one with the online feature ### 5/5 — Memories *2021-12-08* I can remember back when i was beta testing this game on Microsoft store many years ago, gd to see nate is starting to bring things to iOS, Many regards hoping more to come over BlackwingDelta ### 5/5 — Please port 1&2. *2021-10-22, version 1.0* I really don't want to try and play it through windows if I even can. And for Pete's sakes PLEASE ADD CONTROLLER SUPPORT. Please sir. The controls aren't even adjustable it's uncomfortable to play. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool! *2021-05-22, version 0.98* Great game so far! My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the D-Pad customizable in size. It’s a little too large for my taste. I like the family friendliness of the game also. ### 5/5 — A truly hidden gem *2021-03-30, version 0.98* I saw this and thought it was a default asset RPG maker game at a glance. But this game feels very high quality and like it’s made from the ground up. Love the easy controls in battles so far. ### 5/5 — Awesome old school rpg *2021-03-06, version 0.98* I played this game on windows phone years ago and was so happy to see it’s finally on iphone --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
