Super fun so far I’m addicted!

A light and fun turned based adventure game focused on dungeon crawling. literally just what I was looking for. the story and world is compelling the gameplay very simple. almost kind of reading a choose your own adventure, but with a little extra pizzazz. Well done!

A classic game concept made for modern mobile devices

Lots of fun and definitely a challenge if you don’t tweak the settings or buy the support packs. I’ve been enjoying it both ways:)

Note to the developer:
Reading all these clowns complain about having to to pay was quite entertaining. Why are they mad that they didn’t read there what they were buying. I think you made a smart choice with the free with ads or pay once for no ads model!

Keep up the good work:)

Addicted

What a fabulous game, very playable, very accessible with speech software, there’s a couple of unlabelled buttons that don’t talk when touching the screen, but other than that I am very much addicted to this game, thank you for making it playable for blind and visually impaired people 🩷

One of my favorite games.

Simple graphics and excellent game play. I have replayed the game several times trying out different hero builds. Check out Grim Quest and Grim Omens as well.
