There's a lot here that is good and a lot that is bad. It is pretty basic, there aren't really a lot of things to do, animations are way too slow and the ui stinks. However there is also a lot of charm and there aren't a lot of games out there like it. In that respect on sale I can recommend it purely for that reason.

Guys, this is amazing. Please i cannot wait for a game simmilar to this, you need to develop something new with all the improvements that the industry has released. The game for 1 dollar is just a must-buy, obviously for phones i'ts better suited but you can do a new game that combines both phone players and PC players

Its bad on purpose, in all the best ways. deliberately a parody of all the most frustrating parts of turn based RPGS its also corny as heck with easter eggs from the shining to dr. who and everything in between. five stars.

Great little game. Highly recommended if you're into oldskool RPGs and looking for something small, different and fun. It needs a second part!!!
