### 5/5 — Exactly what i was looking for

*2023-02-16, version 2.9.211*

I was looking for an 80s style RPG and this hit the mark. Very expansive, will take numerous hours (no idea how many) to complete. Perfect for Ultima and other early 8-bit RPG game fans.

### 5/5 — An amazing classic RPG

*2023-02-03*

Like must of us I have a deep appreciation of the type of games I grew up with. This game is amazing. At first it seems just as it looks. Another indi RPG. For me it seemed that way. The more I played the more I really started appreciating what the developer has done. Even done to the self help links in character creation. This is a wonderful piece of work. The creator really has a love for this game and it really shows. If you like classic RPG this is a most. 

Cheers to you!!!

### 5/5 — Classic

*2023-02-03, version 2.9.211*

Great classic old school rpg. Wish there were more like it

### 5/5 — Well done

*2022-10-03, version 2.9.211*

If you like the early computer RPGs, you’ll love this.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2022-08-17, version 2.9.211*

I play it everyday.  I’m an old school final fantasy fan and Ultima fan.  This game is both.  I really really really wish there was a fourth chapter… an more summons and more access to locked areas!  This game still has so much potential.

### 5/5 — Buy this game

*2022-06-24, version 2.9.211*

100% worth the learning curve. An essential game if you loved the Ultima series and the many Angband variants.

### 5/5 — I just love it

*2022-05-30*

Simply like old rpgs, like d&d minus the ********* xp stealers like vampires. They do exist, but no xp steal (which simply avoid using Load Game non stop). Extremely well made with a great variety of classes and weapons/items.

J'adore, tout simplement! 10/10 cheers!

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2022-05-05, version 2.9.211*

The randomization makes the replay value of this game a 10/10. It is challenging. Clearly a labor of love. The creator has an amazing site with updates, blog posts… it feels so real and personal. A really special game. Oh, also, the lich’s scroll sent me here.

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2022-04-23*

Super game I love it and make me remember old RPG yess

### 5/5 — Really a gem

*2022-02-06, version 2.9.211*

This game is a hidden gem.  Totally worth the money and you can tell how much love went into making it.

### 5/5 — Excellent Game

*2022-01-24, version 2.9.211*

A little overwhelming at first, but once you have your feet under you it’s fantastic.

### 5/5 — Best Game Out There!

*2021-12-31, version 2.9.211*

One of the best game apps there has ever been. Surprisingly deep and interesting gameplay!

### 5/5 — Must Play!

*2021-12-06, version 2.9.211*

The game is just pure enjoyment, just like the old D&D days. There is a lot of creativity and playability within this game that has made me want to replay the whole game again with a new party build. That speaks volumes…….a real Must Play Game!!!

### 5/5 — Genuinely Great Game

*2021-11-05, version 2.9.211*

I got the lite version and fell in love with that. I ended up buying the full version and I don't regret it. Also, I don't normally go out of my way to give video game reviews (this is my first) so that should say something.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2021-08-07*

A fantastic title. Worth it 1000% for anyone who’s remotely interested in role play. The sheer amount of possibilities in characterization and settings alone are worth it, let alone the gameplay itself and it’s vast land full of quests I have yet to complete despite my hours of playtime. What a gem.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-03-14, version 2.8.110*

This is one of my all time
Favorite games.  If you grew up on Ultima by Richard Garriot then this is the game for you.  The replay value is high and the characters are fun to tweak and mix up.   You can play at your own speed.  I cannot think of a game I've spent more hours playing than this one.

### 5/5 — Still playing

*2021-02-24, version 2.8.110*

Still playing this game years after getting it.

### 1/5 — games fun till chapter 3

*2017-09-29, version 2.0.301*

Games a lot of fun. Till you hit chapter 3. Then it's frustrating and mind numbing. Trying to get out of the stupid castle with the teleporting gargoyles and all the levers. It was ment to be a puzzle. But it's more frustrating than clever. Don't waste your time if you want to beat this game.

### 1/5 — Worst rpg ever

*2016-09-28, version 1.8.30*

Big fraud ever

### 1/5 — Wonderful retro game but stability is a fail

*2016-06-28*

The retro RPG feel is a wonderful experience, game is large relatively challenging with deep RPG elements. 
However the game crashes frequently on my iPhone 5c and more importantly when auto saving recently deleted all of my save games. 
15 odd hours of game play gone in an instant during a movement from one map area to another. 
Until this is rectified I won't play this game and I recommend no one else does either who wants to watch weeks of gameplay just disappear bit game? 

Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2022-10-01, version 2.9.211*

Not much story. Lots of fights.

### 2/5 — Meh...

*2016-12-14*

This is potentially a good game but does not work for me. I play PoE and BB on PC but this one is not the best. Keep in mind this is a one man shop I don't enjoy. Sorry.

The combat is uninspiring. It's long and when you automate parts, well then why do combat? This is a deep game but really really rough in the edges.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2024-02-04, version 2.9.211*

It's ok. If you like a lot of failure and grinding then this might be for you. Seems most people like it for the nostalgia factor.

### 3/5 — Closes game when you leave app

*2019-09-02, version 2.7.300*

This game would be so much better if it didn’t always close and reload when you leave the app or switch to a different app. As it is it annoys me so much I stopped playing

### 3/5 — Great game.

*2017-12-28, version 2.1.300*

The reason for the 3 stars is because as much as the publisher updates this app, he still hasn’t made it full screen compatible with the IPhone X. Otherwise, buy this app! The best rpg on the App Store.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2017-04-14*

Good game needs some more works but well worth it.

### 4/5 — Nice little gem

*2022-04-08*

This game has a lot of love put into it, and you can tell the developer put a lot of effort. For the amount of replayability, this game is a bargain. It isn’t graphically the most advanced, and there are huge spikes in combat difficulty at certain parts that will catch you off guard, but it is worth it. You can save scum to try and get the best loot. You can choose to grind and grind to raise skills / spells (will take short of forever for skills that are usable only a few times a day). Or you can spend your talent points on them to get a quick boost to your combat power at the expense of saving points to boost your stats or learning new skills / spells (need to find trainers or spell books). There is a LOT of functions that you can do. Combat is probably the weakest point (why can a monk only use a cestus but not knuckles?). Would be nice to put talents into HP and SP as well if desired. Would be nice to have obstacles in combat. Seeing projected turn order easily would also be nice. Overall a solid B+, and amazing that just one person put it together.

Volker’s Magnum Opus

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-09-13, version 2.9.211*

I really enjoy this game. Says a lot for me because I am pretty picky.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2025-07-03, version 2.9.211*

Amazing!! Old school rpg feel

### 5/5 — Dungeons of Chaos

*2025-01-03*

Just a great game would recommend many thanks to all who made this possible please expand if possible in future

### 5/5 — Pleasantly Surprised

*2024-10-03*

As a classic Final Fantasy fan, I really was on the search for a classic rpg style game that didn’t try to bleed you dry of every penny you have…. This game is just perfect, exactly what the doctor ordered. Its fun, you can play through it multiple times, plenty of treasure to find, and a one time fee to own the game and play it whenever rather than being charged for more features later. The mechanics of the game take a little getting used to, as it isn’t a normal turn based fighting style. It’s a combination of that and actually moving around. Once you get used to it, then you really can start having fun with it by choosing new classes. I would absolutely recommend any classic rpg fan to buy this game. It’s well worth the couple bucks

### 5/5 — Super impressed

*2024-07-27*

To me the Ultimate series was the pinnacle of gaming, so I was skeptical of reviews comparing this game to those. But they were right. It absolutely feels like the early Ultimas. The world is open and huge, with towns and shops, all kinds of wilderness, and plenty of dungeons to crawl. The amount of classes, abilities, spells, items, weapons, quests, NPCs, and enemies is absurd for a small developer. It’s as good as any of the old games it’s modeled on, but better, because of all the quality of life features. You can save at any time, you can control every action your six party members perform, or you can set them to auto battle and just watch. You can set how each character will make decisions in auto combat, or use their defaults. You can control some characters with others on auto. And you can change any of these factors at any time during a fight. You can play however you want to play, and it will work! The game won’t let you get lost, either. Whatever you might forget how to do, the game will unobtrusively coach or remind you. What small developer cares enough about its players to program in stuff like that? This one does. 

I do have a couple of quibbles. Sometimes you can run around a little TOO long before finding something you can interact with. The dungeons tend to be labyrinthine with few loops and no minimap, so it can be tedious to get back out of them. There is a map, a good one! But it can’t be on screen while you’re moving, and toggling back and forth feels like a chore. Also I don’t like black “fog of war” that moves around with you and blocks parts of the screen, even if you turn off the day/night cycle, which if left on makes this even worse.

But the pros are literally everything else 😍 And the game has a generous range of difficulty settings to make it just the right challenge for you. If like me you miss the old open world dungeon crawlers and feel like none of the modern mobile versions do them justice, your search is over. Download this now, have a great time and support this deserving developer. The world needs more like him, and more games like this.

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2024-05-16, version 2.9.211*

Well worth the money this is the second unity game I have enjoyed tremendously. Keep it up the old school games are the best

### 5/5 — Great game!

### 5/5 — Des heures de plaisir

*2023-09-25*

Probablement le jeu sur lequel j’ai passé le plus de temps sur mon cellulaire. Pour les fans de ce type de jeu, celui-ci est un incontournable.
