I enjoyed this game for what it is. It reminds me of the old classic dungeon crawler rpgs where you open chest and kill enemies and work your way to a boss fight. That is exactly what I was expecting and thats what I got. No complaints there. The graphics are very nice and each map has a unique look and style. The combat is a mixed bag. While I had fun with it some may only see it as a stripped down dark souls, dodge and strike. I didn't find the magic abilities very useful through most the game, aside from the dash and haste which become essential.

There are some bugs such as clipping thru parts of walls and other objects. I only ever died once from clipping through a wall and free falling for infinity. Performance wise I had no issues at all with frame rate or any crashes. The bows also seem to sometimes not fire at the enemy you are locked onto or the arrow just drops infront you. I mainly just stuck with the sword and shield combo.

In the first area starting at level 1 I found the game to be some what brutal in difficutly and I kind of wanted it to stay that way. However, after the first section and an equipment upgrade I found the xp became far too generous. I can understand not wanting to make a game too grindy but I really only replayed the second map twice to get some extra money and xp and everything else was pretty easy from then on.

Considering this game was made (mostly) by one person, I say job well done. The Dev continues to improve the game, and I can't wait to see what else will be added and any future products he's involved with.

Simple version:

Pros:
Nice Graphics
Clean presentation
Very accessible
Fun boss fights
Plenty of loot

Cons:
Pretty short game
A little on the easy side
A few minor bugs

Its an indie project with a budget price but with quality looks. Its worth the price and if you like the old school straight forward styled dungeon esq rpgs you might find this quite enjoyable.
