How you remember Ultima II but better

Played a lot of Ultima II over my friends shoulder as a kid. Played a lot of Questron as well. This scratches that itch. So fun. Beat it this morning and immediately purchased the sequel. Played 19 hours.

Fun

Really fun little ultima esque game, had to look up a couple things to progress but overall was just a good experience

Only $1.99?

I just defeated the final boss and immediately rushed here to buy the sequel. If that’s not a ringing endorsement then I don’t know what is. Seriously, I don’t even find most of the Ultima games fun (interesting but not fun). I had an incredible blast playing this. Like this is how I imagine an Ultima remake would look like for people who grew up after the Apple II was a thing.

Don’t think it over. Get this and let it waste like 10-12 hours of your life. It’s well worth it.

If you loved Ultima

Its a great homage to the Ultima games I loved as a kid, adapted for a mobile experience.
