It’s a board game but...

If you treat this game like a board game, it does what it says regardless of previous comments that say it’s hard. I was more interested in the portion stating you can create your own game, very incorrect statement. This game allows you to choose your own path. I’ll be requesting a refund once I get my receipt.

I loved this game

It’s an odd one. There’s a built in problem with the game where when you die, you take injuries which cost money to heal but also make it easier to die. Two hints and then the game is waaay more fun. First, don’t worry about hit points, max out your luck and attack. Second, cheat a little. Go gamble with the strong man in the thief’s city, you can double your gold there and if you lose, immediately quit the game and manually shut it down, then replay until you double your gold. Once you’re past that, and have a little gold to spare, the game dynamic becomes super fun. It’s still hard, just not impossibly so! And the writing of the game and story is a lot of fun.

Way way too hard

Seriously. I used to play original DND way back in the 80s. This game is harder than anything I’ve played. Hard enough to make it just not fun. Failing every single luck and skill check gets very old -really- fast. Everything you do hurts you. Every roll you fail costs a severe price. Curses. Injuries. No ways to remove them. They don’t wear off apparently. Just constant dice rolling over and over and over and failing over and over and over. Save your time and play something else. Unless this game gets some balancing done to it I’m gonna refund it.

Will not download

Stuck eternally on update 4/6 ("downloading better sound effects and graphics"). Freezes every time. Do not buy until fixed. Waste of several hours just trying to get it to work.

What now?

So I did the first set of quests and now there is nothing to do, no new cities or quests. Waste of money don’t buy

Lame but has potential

You constantly meet enemies to fight, yet pretty much have no way of healing. Die. Start again.... but with no health. Die again. Repeat. See how lame that sounds? That’s the summary of the game. I’ll be deleting it now and not buying any more of their games. Tip to developers. Increase the number of opportunities to re-heal or pick up potions to store to use later to heal.... so you can actually last in the game.
