Good, but only in airplane mode
Fri Jan 12 2024 SnekySnek7This game has a simple to learn and fun combat system, witty humor, and doesn’t take forever to progress through (at least first half, getting max all classes will, but I’m a completionist). Losses will slow you, but not severely. There are a few big issues however. Firstly, the grindstone mechanic is very tedious and to an extent throttles progression (not as severely as gold costs for revive second game though.) another issue is the paradox login seems to glitch after your first play, which makes it impossible to load if you start it online thereafter. However, if you load in airplane mode, then you can turn online back immediately after no problem or play offline. Ironically the second one is online only. A lot of people likely quit outright without knowing this workaround. I strongly suggest you patch it, the third issue is sliding spites on occasion and it’s not quite optimized for various screen sizes yet. These bugs however are surely fixable, which if done, would certainly give me reason to rate it higher. But I can’t give 4 or 5 rating to a game that’s good, but only works after you fiddle with settings. I may have the patience for that, but others won’t. Fix that, and I’ll rate it higher.
What Happened?
Sat Apr 08 2017 Danzi93First off, I love this game. I put easily over 100 hours into it on multiple devices a couple of years ago. I decided to re-download it after I beat the second game. However, I want to know what happened. This game hasn't had an update since 2015 and there are still many graphical bugs. Almost anything that moves floats off screen, including (but not limited to): Enemies, Primary weapons in combat, pets (like the mana-steal robot), beds when resting, and sprites in the blacksmiths menu. It has been over 2 years. I'm disappointed that Paradox can't take the time to fix these simple bugs. If this were fixed, it would easily deserve more than 5 stars. If you can get past the bugs, it's still a great game.
A really long one trick pony
Wed Feb 10 2016 Bleu WhaleIn the first minute, this game absolutely captivated me. You select your player, your class, you sit down, and... whoosh! The narrator begins, the backdrop rolls back, and you find yourself in a half tabletop, half visualized story. Absolutely amazing. That was all the game has to offer. Once you get past that first battle, there is near-zero story, narration, development. Each location has a single setting, there is no exploration. Each character has one go-to skill that you use in battle, but even if you use multiple, the strategy for every battle is pretty much the same. I got pleasure for some time from the simple act of leveling up, filling up the empty seats at the table, etc., but in the end it felt like wasted time since it all builds to nothing. Cool concept. The opening showed what the game was capable of. But the rest of the game, it turns out, is nothing but grinding for grinding's sake.
Amazing but you should add more DLC‘s
Thu Jul 12 2018 Chris@spaceLove the game spent a while doing stuff and now I defeated everything there’s nothing to do and I don’t want to restart because it’s too fun and I worked hard for my characters and already worked through the hunted fall DLC now there’s nothing to do also there’s some weird glitches as well like the characters that you’re fighting start to disappear always so maybe you should do an update for that and make the game a bit more longer because like I said it is really fun just make it longer I know you made other games but this is just my favorite so please make it longer
I used to love this game... but..
Thu Jan 05 2023 platinumkunI used to play this game all the time many years ago in hs. i downloaded it recently for nostalgia reasons, however right upon opening you can see they didn't even bother with fitting the game right on newer phones. it's way too big and there's not option to fix it. this gives issues with not seeing the coin number correctly, not seeing levels on the edges and struggles to pressing certain buttons which are out of screen or barely. sad, but i'm deleting this game. until they fix it or update it, i wouldn't pick up this game. TLDR: game buggy, don't bother
A wonderfully fun game utterly broken
Sun Jul 24 2016 Sir glidusI'm a long time fan of this game and have enjoyed off and on for well over a year. Normally I have no problems with giving a game like this 4-5 stars, but several glitches exist in the iOS version that range from annoying to completely unfair. If the sprites aren't moving off of the screen (enemies and status effects included), then the definite lack of grindstones is the most annoying, which prevents you from upgrading the blacksmith early in the game without spending all of your hard earned gold. Even late-game, you'll grind gold and drops just for those stones in order to not waste time or money on failed upgrades. This is a great game and under normal circumstances, I'd recommend it, but without a fix of some sort, I can't give it more than it deserves.
Beautiful buts guys c'mon =_=
Wed Apr 26 2017 OnikazaWould give this a five for various reasons people have already pointed out and while I can still enjoy the game these glitches people were talking about ... why are they still here ? Lol I assume these minor issues would've been fixed by now at least ... seriously ?? while minor it diminishes the play experience at times .... can you guys do something about the issues that people have been trying to get your attention on for what seems like eons please ? We spent money .... this game deserves a five, seriously guys fix it ... k thanks bye.
Aspect ratios matter! Add option to adjust UI
Wed Jun 09 2021 Astral CricketNot all iPhone users have the newest biggest screens, this once beautiful game used to run flawlessly aside from the minor glitch every now and then, but with this larger aspect ratio, I can’t conceivably play this. It’s not fun. Please fix this. I can’t see the full screen! I’m running an iPhone XR and this game is just disappointing. It feels like you broke it on purpose just so I would have to buy pen and paper 2, which is not cool guys. I paid money for the app, let me continue to enjoy it.
