Good job! ### 4/5 — Good, really good but a couple nit picks *2018-03-15, version 1.0.2* So the game is really fun, the story is decent, if you were a fan of Loren the Amazon Princess, don’t expect that kind of story or characters, but it’s still serviceable and good, the combat is so much better than Loren’s though, while their may be less options for skills, you really need to think in battles if you’re not playing on easy, and romance is fine. But a few nit picks, one, the options are really small and you could accidentally click things you didn’t mean to, another thing is that you can bring character relations up way too quickly, the second I got the option to go talk to people I was able to get Rumi’s affection all the way up in a matter of thirty minutes where in Loren it’s over the course of the whole game. So overall, the game is good, but there are a couple things they could do to make it better.. ### 3/5 — Eh could have been better *2017-01-10, version 1.0.2* I played lots of "Choose your adventure" types of game and this one isn't in the top of my list but it is also not at the bottom the story is alright though could have use more polishing the gameplay was fair (Scout is the best class) and the romance is there if you very well want it the only thing is earning relationship points is extremely easy rather if that's a good or bad thing is up to you ### 1/5 — Marketed Wrong *2016-07-25, version 1.0.2* The developer markets the game as free but it's only "free" up until a few missions into Chapter 2. If it was marketed as the lite/demo it is, I would have considered buying. The animation is nice and dialogue is tolerable, something rare in these type of games. The gameplay is smooth, but that one issue just kills it. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2016-05-31, version 1.0.2* It takes a little time to get used to it but once you find the right system, great game. Perfect length if you want something like KOTOR but shorter. ### 1/5 — No good *2016-01-27, version 1.0.2* This games too hard, too many mission that don't explain the story, romance takes for ever to form, it's interesting but too much work, you should add cheats like in SOTW and take out some fights that aren't necessary,makes games much easier to play. ### 3/5 — Nope just nope *2015-10-07, version 1.0.2* To much fighting not enough story stupid romance never finished wast of money play Toa: seasons of the wolf instead ### 2/5 — The difficulty *2015-02-13, version 1.0.1* Imagine the attack options as 4 hits at 30% 3hits at 60% 2 hits at 90% Even if you use the 2 hits it can easily take 3 turns per enemy on normal difficulty. The game is just too hard. It really feels like no one tested the game first. I rage quit the tutorial ### 5/5 — Perfekter Zufallstreffer *2014-09-09, version 1.0.1* Nur durch Zufall hab ich das Spiel gefunden und bin mehr als froh darüber. Super Story, tolle Charaktere, knackige rollenspiel-Kämpfe und Unmengen an Skills. Ich bin begeistert. ### 3/5 — SPIEL STÜRZT HÄUFIG AB!!!!! *2014-09-05, version 1.0.1* Die Story an sich ist gut, allerdings braucht man ein bisschen, bis man verstanden hat wie man angreift. Außerdem würde ich mir wünschen wenn Konversationen auch auf deutsch wären, denn alle Gespräche finden ausschließlich auf Englisch statt. Und es hapert noch häufig und schmeißt einen schnell mal raus. An sich hat das Game potenzial allerdings muss es auf jeden Fall eine Aktualisierung geben. Hier schon einmal vielen Dank. Ich bitte euch bringt bitte eine Aktualisierung raus damit das Game nicht alle 6 Minuten abstürzt . ## Frequently asked questions about Planet Stronghold ### What kind of gameplay does Planet Stronghold offer?
