User Reviews
Funny game, good concept, humorous things all throughout. It doesn't last very long, though. You don't get to free roam once you beat it in case there were maps you didn't buy for the hidden treasures or areas you may want to grind on. That's really the only thing I was disappointed in. I did buy the whole game deal. I was expecting more, I suppose.
Love it! I've played on & off since 2017. No ads! I play on Android, tablet & PC emulator. Great graphics, fun story, funny & super creative NPC dialogue, quests, multiple zones, easy controls, character development, lots of loot, be good, be a scoundrel or be both, save locations, learn spells, attacks, heals, multiple game storage. One of the best mobile games period.
Look, this game has a lot more to it than a lot of Android / mobile games. The songs are entertaining, the dialog humorous, controls are decent. But... They do not tell you that if you have your cloud sync saves on (save games to Google drive), and you play offline for whatever reason (in my case, FIVE HOURS of progress), and then regain internet, that you're cloud save will likely overwrite your current save. You'll lose everything, and you can't get it back. It's not worth playing that again.
It's a decent port of the PC game, lots of humor throughout the game. I took a long break and after the recent October 2022 update the audio voice no longer works. I had to install the game on a newer phone. Still a neat game overall, controls are good, but could be improved. The shield and attack buttons are too close to the edge of the screen. Maybe add the ability to move or customize button placement. I hope they will consider this in a future update.
