this is hands down the best text RPG on the Play store. I've beaten the whole trilogy one way or another. personally, I could have used more fireball. but where plot usually isn't a consideration for me, this one stays worth reading. five and a half stars. edit: characters with "charge" should be allowed to "attack from a distance." just a suggestion.

very good game. despite being largely text based it is very well done. takes a minute to get the hang of the interface but learning curve is not too steep. Early game is rather challenging mainly due to resources and limited options. Great world building.

Loved it! Once again I could not save Alma, another female character in the story, but I enjoyed the game a lot. found myself staying up all night. I competed 77% on my first playthrough.
