Exceptional! Polished, highly customizable, and perfect for its niche. It's a text game with simple graphics, and that is precisely what some of us need and appreciate. After being diagnosed as autistic, I realized I was wrecking my mental health by doom scrolling to stim. This game has replaced that toxic habit, and I am so grateful. Also, this is how purchases and ads should be handled. Period! One optional ad every five minutes, and all content is accessible from the start. Superb work!

I really want to like this game. Two major issues 1. Repetitive without reward and 2. the ads. I have no issue with the creator making money - but I shouldn't have to quit the game and restart to get past ads. Fine to let it roll for 30 seconds, but there needs to be an X to get past it and back to the game.

Strong concept from what I've played so far. I think the main issue would be the gameplay loop so adding small animations for attacks, unique weapon feels would really go a long way. when you have a more classic RPG style game, the main issue usually is the repetitive nature of the combat system but you can help that by making every build/class feel very different

This game starts out fairly fun but quickly ramps up into near impossible difficulty which ruined it for me. Within two dungeon levels it went from being fairly easy to regular encounters fighting rat kings, watchers, and cultists who can take off 1/4 of your life with a single hit. Uneven ramp up of difficulty without the ability to go back to lower dungeon levels to grind xp brings the gameplay to a near pointless standstill. Very poorly designed.

It took me a bit to get used to the interface, and to realize I could change the font! Pretty good writing and art. Mechanics are pretty straightforward once you get to them, and the ads are very optional / non intrusive. I'll likely pay for an upgrade at some point.

it's got good gameplay, nice leveling, some difficult parts and some easy, overall just a good game. I do kind of wish that some things (like taking damage) were a little flasher so I can tell when I'm hit, or some things (like critical hits) were less flashy so I don't think I'm almost dead. also, I would like if I could find out how to progress. but other than that, I love it.

In this age of flashy graphics and overestimating music it's incredibly refreshing to see a game that uses simple elements to create a compelling RPG experience! The game play is reminiscent of a "choose your own adventure" book, and there are extensive character options (skills, spells etc) to make each playthrough unique. The only suggestion I would offer would be giving players a little more information on dungeon encounters (ie what skill/spell/ability is used to reason with the cultists)

Amazing, addictive dungeon style game. Had it for close to a year now I think, and every time I come back it seems a bit different for the better. I enjoy it thoroughly and will continue to play and pay, even though it's the 1st 100% you REALLY dont have to pay to play that I've come across. Love its progression, especially over the past 6 months. Good lore, neat items, enemies I still enjoy cutting down. All around awesome game! *EDIT Just redownload the game, forgot how much I loved this game!

Nice, simple RPG. Maybe a little too simple in some aspects, but not bad by any means. More variety in gear would be nice. Choosing a helmet or shield as they're both considered accessories is an odd choice. I don't mind the video ads, except when they automatically download apps to my phone. This has happened twice now. Also, as I'm typing this, I can hear sound from the game in response to using buttons on the left side of the keyboard. Might be nothing, but also may be using items.

Very fun. Sadly, I did lose a save file that I put, not a crazy amount of time into, but definitely a significant amount. However, despite this, I love the game. It's nothing to be crazy over, but it's probably one of the best mobile games for just having a fun little time on the couch or on the go
