IN THE NEWS

“A full-on RPG, complete with character progression, inventory management, and NPC interactions ... The character development and combat systems find that sweet spot between being too simplistic to matter and becoming a bloated distraction.” – Gamespace.com

“Untold is a really solid and convenient package. It delivers feelings of grand adventure while allowing you to experiment and explore, and it does this pretty much all through text. It may not satisfy folks looking for a flashier, more action-packed experience, but Untold's restraint is exactly what makes it so impressive and refreshing.” – 148apps.com

### 5/5 — Très bon jeu

*2026-08-18, version 1.10.10*

Très bienJ'adore se jeu mais je trouve que les ennemies sont un petit trop fort et que les actions sont très dur comme trouver l'enti dote pour sauver Rasslan je suit très souvent bloqué peut-être qui faut faire une misse a jour demain ou dans quelque jour pour amélioré tout sa et se qui serai incroyable s'est que quand tu ogmante ta force ta santé ogmente aussi et une autre chose se qui serai bien s'est que tu peut amélioré ta force ogmente après avoir gagner un combat

### 2/5 — Can’t create a character

*2026-07-22, version 1.10.10*

No option to choose Gender, name, stats, background, or starting class. Kinda disappointed.

### 4/5 — Best game I ever played, but need assist

*2026-07-11, version 1.10.10*

I have downloaded this game yesterday or the day before and I enjoyed playing the game because it just like the other voice of a game that I played in the past on the phone and I enjoyed the game. Could you maybe add in a new update if you update the game again if there to be like a assistant or a guide to find the item because I'm having a hard time trying to find the item and how do you get the full game? I've noticed that there are other games like this, but if you buy just one of the game that a full version of the game, do you get all the other stuff as well.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-07-10, version 1.10.10*

Love these browser text games, a little too much reading imho but its still fun regardless.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-04, version 1.10.10*

Solid story so far, gameplay is fun and in depth, and every choice you make matters, down to your outfit. Try it out, it’s worth it.

### 5/5 — 難易度もちょうど良い

*2026-06-27, version 1.10.10*

VoiceOver対応、日本語対応で素晴らしい！

### 4/5 — Fun but need something

*2026-06-16, version 1.10.10*

It’s a really cool game it’s turn based gotta like that and I would play it definitely but I do wish people could make their own persona’s on this

### 5/5 — Captivating

*2026-05-28, version 1.10.10*

Love the story and the flexibility of the rpg elements. Played the third game black sands and I am now going to play the story of the first two games

### 3/5 — Gutes Spiel für Gelegenheit.

*2026-05-07, version 1.10.10*

Ich habe Eldrum: Untold insgesamt sehr gerne gespielt und finde es besonders gut für gelegentliche Spielsessions geeignet.

Die Story ist schön aufgebaut und sehr detailreich erzählt. Man merkt, dass viel Mühe in die Welt und die Struktur des Spiels geflossen ist. Auch das Inventarsystem und die allgemeinen Spielmechaniken machen einen soliden Eindruck und tragen gut zur Atmosphäre bei.

Besonders positiv hervorheben möchte ich, dass das Spiel vollständig auf Deutsch verfügbar ist und sehr gut mit VoiceOver funktioniert. Gerade für Menschen mit Sehbeeinträchtigung ist das ein großer Pluspunkt und macht das Spiel deutlich zugänglicher. Dafür ein großes Lob an die Entwickler.

Auch die Entscheidungsfreiheit hat mir gut gefallen – die Geschichte lässt sich in gewissem Rahmen individuell beeinflussen, was den Wiederspielwert grundsätzlich erhöht. Ich hatte insgesamt wirklich Spaß mit dem Spiel, da ich genau so etwas gesucht habe.

Kritisch sehe ich allerdings die Spielzeit. Das Spiel wirkt insgesamt etwas zu kurz. Gerade in späteren Abschnitten (z. B. auf der Schlafinsel) fehlt teilweise die Möglichkeit, zu früheren Orten wie dem Gasthaus zurückzukehren. Das schränkt die Freiheit ein und könnte verbessert werden. Insgesamt endet die Story zudem recht schnell, was schade ist, da die Welt deutlich mehr Potenzial bietet.

Trotzdem bleibt ein sehr positives Gesamtgefühl: ein gut aufgebautes Spiel mit viel Atmosphäre und Potenzial. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler für diese Arbeit – ich hatte definitiv Spaß damit.

### 5/5 — Fire

*2026-04-29, version 1.10.10*

Game is wonderful🏃and verry  accurate with voiceover.
