### 1/5 — Verry buggy

*2020-05-07*

Layout is bad and text and other visuals overlap so it is hard to read. Not updated for newer phones so UI is hidden by the notch. Character creation is buggy and you can’t choose skills and progress.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable and left me wanting more!

*2018-11-03*

Hoping there’s a sequel to this series.  It’s a unique genre that isn’t at all overplayed.  Give it a shot and you should like it.

### 2/5 — Love the idea but...

*2018-07-29*

I love the idea of the app but I cannot move past the intro. The skills make clicking noises when I try to select them, but nothing happens so I cannot create my character and move on with the game. Disappointing!

### 5/5 — Great Developer

*2017-03-15*

Chatted with the developer, seems passionate and an honest guy. Great game, well written story, and a great download. Fans of the genre will definitely enjoy this app. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

### 4/5 — Браво!

*2016-11-18, version 1.3*
