This game is cool so far. I recognize the graphic cosmetics for the character from playing The Quest, and the enemies, worlds, and sound FX are identical to Exiled Realms. Both games are among my favorite mobile RPGs, so this game is addicting so far. I’ve only got past the first world, so still fresh in it. The loot and leveling up progress is reasonably paced so far, so it’s not a painful grind (yet). Not having a mandatory paywall is nice, but I also paid for the no ads option, which was only $5, so it was worth it. My main criticism is in the size of the text—it’s tiny. I have to sometimes take screenshots to zoom in to see what it says, but I’m also playing on my phone, which makes it all smaller. Overall, pleased with this find.
I like the visuals and style of this game, but I ultimately gave up 5 minutes into it. Played as a cleric, ended up at a boss with no potions (and I found no way to farm any because nothing respawned). The character moves too slowly to avoid being hit, so you lasted longer as a mage to stand there and take hits rather than dodge, the boss was stronger than me and I couldn't heal so I died. but again, couldn't farm levels anywhere. Also, when I died I had the option to watch an ad to resurrect, which ended up being two ads, not just one, and afterwards the game bugged out and I couldn't attack or use any spells, so I just died again. Edit: added a star for the dev's response and bug fix (thanks for that). I'll consider trying again with a different character type that doesn't need to worry about having to dodge while being too slow to do so.
I love this game. Pretty much any decent Diablo-like that’s ever released I will enjoy and this is not exception to that rule. I am enjoying this game. It holds true to some of the Diablo art style without being an unfinished copy (looking at you Godseeker II) This is its own thing(even though it’s pretty much the Diablo 1 story so far but that is only the excuse to go loot everything anyway) It plays a little clunky but I like that(so did the first two diablos) So far loot has been satisfying and from what I see there’s just more to come. This is a great game, developed by one developer, it already has been updated a couple times. The only complaint I have is it took me too long to figure out where the premium purchase option was and that a premium option was not communicated well in the app description . I encourage anybody that’s enjoying this game purchase the premium version to support this dev. To purchase the premium version: You have to be loaded into a character. Then press The character icon>Cosmetics>Store>Select top option(I don’t remember the name)>scroll to premium>Purchase. It’s $4.99 US, completely worth it imo. I just wanted ad free but all cosmetics come with the purchase and 3 % bonuses(XP, gold, loot) not sure I needed those, it might be nice to have a toggles for those bonuses in case you don’t want them to start But it is still a nice additional incentive from the Dev. I still would have paid just for the ad free version myself. Great in app practices so far, great game. Support it if you want more of it.
