One of my favorite RPGs on Android. It's sort of like a stripped back Darkest Dungeon. The elemental system can be extremely cruel, but it's worth it.

It is fun and entertaining. If I could switch my heros battle positions like it says you can I would give 5 stars for sure. I tried all buttons and combos, hell I even took to Google and steam. If the developer or a player could enlighten me, I'll change it to 5 stars.

Hard in beginning to understand the game machenics but addictive and easier when master the stats and elements. Good combination indeed with a bit thinking and effort. Hope this game's difficulty lower for mass gamers

My major gripe about this game is that I cannot change my characters' battle positions, even though it says you can...so I often have the weakly priest upfront getting clobbered by giant clubs. If that got fixed, then I'd give it 5 stars.

RN Jesus is this games bread and butter. The only thing that makes this game difficult is the inability to switch items in combat, the stats not reflecting weapons, and the stupid idea to have the game constantly auto rotate even if your phone has that mode turned off.

Excellent game, as well as mechanics, but it would be great if you could put a chest in the town so we can put away specific weapons for an area that is not available yet through the towns people.

4 stars only because the final boss is made completely impossible, and the game often refuses to shift to a horizontal view. Other than that, fun.

I think it is really good but there are two very annoying things stopping me from playing! Please try to update these small changes so the game can be more enjoyable and less annoying, otherwise it seems so far the game is v good! The music is way too quiet for me. Even at my graveyard shift, I have to have the game full blast to hear, and at hone with my ac, i cant really hear it at all! The second annoyance is the screen doesnt lock in rotation, so playing in bed is hard. Pls menu options<3

Exceptional value. My only issues are that I cannot login to Google Play Games to sync saves and achievements because it will not let me click the button. Text and assets are a touch small. Orientation lock needs to be a thing and organising attack/party order. Some other QoL would be nice. Sadly the game hasn't been updated since 2024, so I am uncertain we will get any fixes and improvements. Still a fun game though.

It's a pretty good game, though I'd appreciate the ability to check upcoming elements in future battles, and perhaps reference the elements of the enemies you're fighting. It'd help a lot with strategizing. Also, a stash where you can keep your loot that you don't need right now, so you can keep your limited inventory free for selling fodder. Speaking of, being able to check item value in your inventory would help too.

If the developer is reading this, I hope you'll update the mobile version to fix some bugs. There are three and it feels uncomfortable: 1. The background music and sound effects volume is lowered so hard (can barely hear it) 2. My party can switch their position during the 1.362 update but in 1.450 it doesn't work 3. Loot Shields' def stat are always at "+0". Pleeease these problems really have to be settled it's ruining the gameplay much :3

I finally got it after missing the February sale on it and it was a great gem of a game reminding me of the 80s when I grew up to pixel games. It was one of those games known to go back on sale so I just waited versus paying full price. So far a fun game. As others said, strategy seems to fail this game which has too much roll the dice and hope for the best with many saying they died so often they grew tired of dying all the time and quit playing. Found the background music annoying.

This game is great! Turn based RPG with a deliciously twisted sense of humor. Great for killing time, great for game time! I'm being asked questions under the box I'm typing in, so here's some answers I dont recall needing internet for anything other than install. The game is not visually beautiful but it is aesthetically breathtaking, especially if one remembers monochrome text games. I've never seen any online pvp arena, but I've never been bored enough to look,also true for a store...

This game is EXCELLENT. It's basically tailor made to my taste: lots of mechanics, team building, fully turn based (more strategic), customizable characters, roguelike difficulty, pixel graphics, and witty story commentary. If you liked Pixel Dungeon, Knights of Pen & Paper, or any other game in that vein, THIS IS A MUST. I think some of the early low ratings were from a bug, and that bug is gone. This is gonna be my favorite game for a while.

A gem amongst games. Note that dying is very much part of the game. The RNG can be cruel, but rarely have I found it impossible to deal with. The refrences scattered in the game made me smile. It can be played without connecting to the internet. A big win combined with the pixel art style. (I will admit now that I am biased in favor of classic pixel art, having grown up with games such as Monkey Island and Kings Quest.) It is challanging, yet you can by pass the RNG if you pay attention. Made much easier as you play, lose, and learn the dungeons. (Online guides help also if you are so inclined.) Bottom line however is death is going to happen. Don't get attached. The replay value lies in pushing your limits and testing new combinations. Since the flow of the game is the same on all three levels of difficulty, you may not enjoy the game if you require the game itself to provide the variations. My only gripe of worth is the annoyance of the auto orientation. Makes it tricky to play while laying down if the game auto adjusts to a portrait view rather then landscape view.

Fantastic rogue like! Don't listen to the haters looking for a rogue lite, this is how it used to be. Each run is unique and you win or lose on your own choices. The random events spice things up and the dungeons are varied. Some of the information should be clearer (the math behind weapon damage is there but very hard to see), but overall it's a great number crunching, turn based RPG.

The basic structure and main loop of the game is appealing, but there are some critical misses. Having enemies act every time the party acts is the biggest issue. It renders many types of groups and strategies pointless. For example, healing is mostly useless as it will always be followed by an attack that cancels its effects. Buffs and debuffs are *usually* useless compared to taking a direct action. Maybe if combat was better balanced.
