### 3/5 — Okay but not addictive

*2026-05-24, version 1.2.33*

The movement controls are quirky, the battles slow but the story is fun.  Play when you want a casual approach to dungeons.

### 3/5 — Good game, not finished

*2026-04-11, version 1.2.33*

Good game but it’s not finished and probably never will be.

### 3/5 — Needs controller support

*2026-03-15, version 1.2.33*

Love wizardry style games. This one has a lot of potential. Just wish it had controller support

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2026-03-14, version 1.2.33*

I enjoyed this game a lot, but there was a sudden ramp up in difficulty under the town well that stopped me cold. I got ripped apart repeatedly and gave up.

### 5/5 — Two swords up

*2026-02-22, version 1.2.33*

Great old school RPG

### 5/5 — Great design that needs to be finished

*2026-02-20*

This has been a satisfying RPG to play. Story, map mechanics, puzzles, npcs, and combat system are great. Very free-to-play friendly with a clever, non-intrusive way to support the creator by playing ads. Loot and leveling is a bit much for my taste, as I’d rather not spend as much time sorting through gear and stats, but it’s not the worst I’ve seen, and once you level enough up you stop getting trash gear from low-level enemies.

Unfortunately, the game is not finished, as the story eventually ends with a “more to come” page. Some areas you can see are not accessible and the highest tier spells suggested by the stats do not exist. I really hope the developer returns to working on this game because the story and core mechanics make it fun to play.

### 5/5 — Единственная игра

*2026-02-17*

Шикарно

### 5/5 — Это просто великолепно

*2026-02-07*

Два дня не отрываясь играл. Это просто золото а не игра !!
Спасибо 
Скажите, когда новые эпизоды ??

### 5/5 — Old school at its best

*2026-01-26, version 1.2.31*

Perfect, pick up and go  dungeon crawler.  Kudos to the developer for creating this gem by himself!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-01-17, version 1.2.31*

Great game can’t wait for more content!

### 5/5 — Very enjoyable game

*2026-01-11, version 1.2.31*

A lot of thought has gone into this game, I love it!

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2026-01-10, version 1.2.31*

Remarkable game for a solo dev. Great offline RPG.

### 5/5 — 🥰

*2026-01-07, version 1.2.30*

So far so good will update later tonight or tomorrow

### 4/5 — Finishing a game improves its reviews

*2026-01-03, version 1.2.30*

I really enjoyed the game…until it stopped. Adventures are listed I can’t complete and aside from a bug fix two months ago…there have been no changes for over a year. If you’re going to finish a game, finish it!

### 5/5 — Rpg

*2025-12-31, version 1.2.30*

Ok so far will see how
Long this game

### 3/5 — Missing Purchase

*2025-12-29*

I loved the game and the initiative but had trouble, I bought the max pack via my iPhone purchase but it did not reflect in the game, can you check?

I have also send email to your support, do provide the items in the pack

### 5/5 — Brilliant game!

*2025-12-20, version 1.2.30*

This game is the follow-up to the absolutely incredible Moonshades and it expands on a lot of things in there such as an advanced spell and abilities system. Lots to explore and so much fun to play! It has a Might and Magic feel to it. 
As always, you get the crybaby whiners complaining that it’s not 100% free. I’m sure these people don’t go to work for free and yet they somehow expect developers to make games and just give them away for nothing. How pathetic. Anyone complaining about the infantry space is talking nonsense of course because you do not run out and there are plenty of ways to get extra space.
If you like this game, you will absolutely absolutely love Moonshades as well And I would very much recommend taking a look at that one.
Can’t wait for new areas to be added!

### 5/5 — What I wanted…

*2025-12-14*

I’ve been playing this on and off for a week and I finally made it out of the chapel. I love to play dungeon crawlers like this one. It makes you think, and there’s no pressure to rush through and miss things. Hence, crawling and thinking, not button mashing and praying you’ll make it. I also like playing rpg’s solo and so far this doesn’t disappoint. If it stays good, I’ll support the developer with some purchases. There’s no forced ads either, unless you want some rewards from it. Well, enough chit chat and more playing.

### 1/5 — Another unfinished game

*2026-03-07, version 1.2.33*

Great game, but sadly the developers didn’t finished it. It’s been three years since the last update with more content.

### 1/5 — No storage

*2026-01-29, version 1.2.31*

1st hour into playing the game and I’m out of storage and have already been dealing with it for the past 30 min. It almost forces you to buy more storage or keep dealing with the same issue. Other than that it was entertaining but can’t get passed that issue

### 1/5 — just started

*2025-10-24, version 1.2.30*

so far it's a great dungeon crawl.  i hope combat doesn't get too difficult. i prefer the story aspects to the fighting.

update.  while i enjoyed the dungeon searches, the game just ....stops. there is no where to go. you cannot complete your quests.  i spent not one penny, thank goodness. i have downgraded from 5 to 1 star.

### 1/5 — Nice..but!!!!!

*2025-08-13, version 1.2.28*

So the game is cool if u like this play-style, I mean it really brings u back if you’re from that generation, HOWEVER IT IS VERY GLITCHY and the developer is unresponsive, so don’t spend a dime. I am am currently stuck behind the game in the “black zone” and I’ve reached out to the developer for days now and have gotten no response. So if u plan to play don’t touch a wall and don’t spend a dime, lower your hopes for  completion, seek a game where things function and the developer speaks. Otherwise it’s just a cash grab for the foolish.

### 1/5 — Potential, but no portrait mode

*2025-07-05, version 1.2.28*

No portrait mode is a deal breaker for me

### 1/5 — Slop.

*2025-04-13, version 1.2.26*

Fix the aspect ratio so it fits on phones made in this decade. Garbage.

### 1/5 — Can’t eat food

*2025-03-02, version 1.2.26*

Clicked on 5 food after my first fight but couldn’t consume it, all it did was open store to buy food with real money. I clicked on it, I mean click is literally all I can do so I don’t know how I’m doing something wrong.

### 1/5 — Was

*2025-02-02, version 1.2.26*

Enjoying it but I hate getting stuck. It’s the opposite of fun

### 1/5 — Совершил покупку

*2024-10-17, version 1.2.26*

Сегодня совершил покупку, а ничего не пришло. Верните деньги или товар.

### 1/5 — Pay 2 Win Garbage

*2024-10-14*

Baldur’s Gate 3 is two times cheaper than this MTX riddled garbage 😤

**Developer response:** Hi there! I'm not sure what you're referring to, as Duskfall is a free game, and you can complete the entire game without making any purchases. Could you please clarify your issue so I can better understand what the problem is? I’d be happy to help! duskfallgame@gmail.com Have a nice day, Viktor (the developer)

### 5/5 — Хорошо

*2026-07-24*

Вообще не понятно как попасть в эту потайную комнату ни каких подсказок кроме одной листовки на кладбище- это жесть какая-то

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-07-20, version 1.2.33*

Love the game so far. Looks like it has been over a year since any new levels and 5 months since any updates. I hope it is still in development.

### 5/5 — good effort got my money

*2026-07-19, version 1.2.33*

fun so far

### 5/5 — It’s early yet

*2026-07-10, version 1.2.33*

I’ve been playing rpgs since an acquaintance of mine developed one on a Radio Shack TRS 80. Of course Duskfall is light years ahead of that text-based game. While it’s early yet, I’m enjoying Duskfall. If given the opportunity, I’ll continue to comment as I gain more experience with it.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-06-15, version 1.2.33*

Great and surprisingly well done from a single developer! I would recommend trying the game out if you like the classic rpg feel.

### 5/5 — Great RPG!

*2026-05-17, version 1.2.33*

Excellent RPG. You can play without any ads or spending money, if you choose so. But I do suggest supporting the single person creator for doing such a great job. It does require more context, I hope the developer will continue his excellent work.

### 5/5 — One day in…

*2026-05-12, version 1.2.33*

So far, so good. No complaints. I’m hoping that it’s a long game.

### 5/5 — This really is good

*2026-04-21, version 1.2.33*

Wow truly old school REAL TURN BASED rpg! This is really well done! Great atmosphere and sound, fantastic 3D enemy models and animation!

### 5/5 — Brilliant game!

### 5/5 — really great classic-feeling game

*2026-02-25, version 1.2.33*

i really love this! i prefer moonshades overall, but i enjoy the turn based combat in this one. there's a lot of cute little touches, like the way the npcs in town walk around and talk to each other. both games have this fun old-fashioned thing where you actually have to think and figure things out yourself. there's no marker for quests pointing you exactly where you need to go, and the puzzles are fair while still being challenging enough not to get boring. and the dialogue! it's really cute and funny a lot of the time.
