This is a high quality and original old school RPG that has a deep and varied system with interesting classes and upgrades. I have greatly enjoyed my time playing it and have already spent at least a hundred hours. Full of content and character, if you’re looking for a quality game you can sink your teeth into look no further. Thank you to the developer for making this, it has brought a lot of happiness to me. Highly recommend this game with two thumbs up!

Please update for modern phone screens (not even modern. I’m on iPhone 13 max lol). Awesome game though, just a little dated technology wise.

I really enjoy this game. Says a lot for me because I am pretty picky.
- Oo/3 · v2.9.211
Amazing!! Old school rpg feel
- K@os 2.0 · v2.9.211
As a classic Final Fantasy fan, I really was on the search for a classic rpg style game that didn’t try to bleed you dry of every penny you have…. This game is just perfect, exactly what the doctor ordered. Its fun, you can play through it multiple times, plenty of treasure to find, and a one time fee to own the game and play it whenever rather than being charged for more features later. The mechanics of the game take a little getting used to, as it isn’t a normal turn based fighting style. It’s a combination of that and actually moving around. Once you get used to it, then you really can start having fun with it by choosing new classes. I would absolutely recommend any classic rpg fan to buy this game. It’s well worth the couple bucks
- San Clemente Local · v2.9.211
To me the Ultimate series was the pinnacle of gaming, so I was skeptical of reviews comparing this game to those. But they were right. It absolutely feels like the early Ultimas. The world is open and huge, with towns and shops, all kinds of wilderness, and plenty of dungeons to crawl. The amount of classes, abilities, spells, items, weapons, quests, NPCs, and enemies is absurd for a small developer. It’s as good as any of the old games it’s modeled on, but better, because of all the quality of life features. You can save at any time, you can control every action your six party members perform, or you can set them to auto battle and just watch. You can set how each character will make decisions in auto combat, or use their defaults. You can control some characters with others on auto. And you can change any of these factors at any time during a fight. You can play however you want to play, and it will work! The game won’t let you get lost, either. Whatever you might forget how to do, the game will unobtrusively coach or remind you. What small developer cares enough about its players to program in stuff like that? This one does. I do have a couple of quibbles. Sometimes you can run around a little TOO long before finding something you can interact with. The dungeons tend to be labyrinthine with few loops and no minimap, so it can be tedious to get back out of them. There is a map, a good one! But it can’t be on screen while you’re moving, and toggling back and forth feels like a chore. Also I don’t like black “fog of war” that moves around with you and blocks parts of the screen, even if you turn off the day/night cycle, which if left on makes this even worse. But the pros are literally everything else 😍 And the game has a generous range of difficulty settings to make it just the right challenge for you. If like me you miss the old open world dungeon crawlers and feel like none of the modern mobile versions do them justice, your search is over. Download this now, have a great time and support this deserving developer. The world needs more like him, and more games like this.

Well worth the money this is the second unity game I have enjoyed tremendously. Keep it up the old school games are the best
- Uluvatar · v2.9.211
If you like ultima you’ll like this!
- 863986549 · v2.9.211
Super great and fun and awesome game
- Green42033 · v2.9.211
It's ok. If you like a lot of failure and grinding then this might be for you. Seems most people like it for the nostalgia factor.
- Nekt2 · v2.9.211
I was looking for an 80s style RPG and this hit the mark. Very expansive, will take numerous hours (no idea how many) to complete. Perfect for Ultima and other early 8-bit RPG game fans.
- Sheetforebrines · v2.9.211
Like must of us I have a deep appreciation of the type of games I grew up with. This game is amazing. At first it seems just as it looks. Another indi RPG. For me it seemed that way. The more I played the more I really started appreciating what the developer has done. Even done to the self help links in character creation. This is a wonderful piece of work. The creator really has a love for this game and it really shows. If you like classic RPG this is a most. Cheers to you!!!
- SpectorWolf · v2.9.211
Great classic old school rpg. Wish there were more like it
- chaosthry45 · v2.9.211
If you like the early computer RPGs, you’ll love this.
- Mikadoo1965 · v2.9.211
Not much story. Lots of fights.
- F***badoo · v2.9.211
I play it everyday. I’m an old school final fantasy fan and Ultima fan. This game is both. I really really really wish there was a fourth chapter… an more summons and more access to locked areas! This game still has so much potential.
- Beowolfe7 · v2.9.211
100% worth the learning curve. An essential game if you loved the Ultima series and the many Angband variants.
- Zakmos · v2.9.211
This game has a lot of love put into it, and you can tell the developer put a lot of effort. For the amount of replayability, this game is a bargain. It isn’t graphically the most advanced, and there are huge spikes in combat difficulty at certain parts that will catch you off guard, but it is worth it. You can save scum to try and get the best loot. You can choose to grind and grind to raise skills / spells (will take short of forever for skills that are usable only a few times a day). Or you can spend your talent points on them to get a quick boost to your combat power at the expense of saving points to boost your stats or learning new skills / spells (need to find trainers or spell books). There is a LOT of functions that you can do. Combat is probably the weakest point (why can a monk only use a cestus but not knuckles?). Would be nice to put talents into HP and SP as well if desired. Would be nice to have obstacles in combat. Seeing projected turn order easily would also be nice. Overall a solid B+, and amazing that just one person put it together.
- MOO2 lover · v2.9.211
This game is a hidden gem. Totally worth the money and you can tell how much love went into making it.
- Dest9876543 · v2.9.211
A little overwhelming at first, but once you have your feet under you it’s fantastic.
- DESimpD · v2.9.211
One of the best game apps there has ever been. Surprisingly deep and interesting gameplay!
- Hayzar · v2.9.211
The game is just pure enjoyment, just like the old D&D days. There is a lot of creativity and playability within this game that has made me want to replay the whole game again with a new party build. That speaks volumes…….a real Must Play Game!!!
- Tankmike75 · v2.9.211
I got the lite version and fell in love with that. I ended up buying the full version and I don't regret it. Also, I don't normally go out of my way to give video game reviews (this is my first) so that should say something.
- Avchjiuy · v2.9.211
A fantastic title. Worth it 1000% for anyone who’s remotely interested in role play. The sheer amount of possibilities in characterization and settings alone are worth it, let alone the gameplay itself and it’s vast land full of quests I have yet to complete despite my hours of playtime. What a gem.
- Dreaming of Wolves · v2.9.201
This is one of my all time Favorite games. If you grew up on Ultima by Richard Garriot then this is the game for you. The replay value is high and the characters are fun to tweak and mix up. You can play at your own speed. I cannot think of a game I've spent more hours playing than this one.
- Ebolazaire7 · v2.8.110
Still playing this game years after getting it.
- Toast102947 · v2.8.110
Great game! Totally worth your money!
- Narshil · v2.8.110
The most fun I’ve had in a long time, even more than other graphics heavy, high costing games. Lots of replay value too.
- busy fighting sccubi · v2.8.110
I’m testing if this gives me ‘good karma’ in the game.
- kenywid · v2.8.110
Bought this game to keep occupied during COVID. Needed an RPG fix and the reviews were good. What a pleasant surprise. The creator of this game is so intent on making a quality game with help built right in if you desire. The gameplay is intuitive but not easy. You may have to grind a bit to take out the bigger baddies, but super satisfying. I don’t often pay for games, but this one has easily paid for itself already. Keep up the great work, and I’ll keep buying. Easy 5 stars
- BushidoIX · v2.8.110
To be able to just sit down and do a little exploring in an fun and enjoyable system is worth so much more than reasonable cost of this game. I am a fan of the genre and I look forward to the proposed expansions. I love supporting small artists. With my and my friends free time dwindling by the year our tabletop gaming is getting harder to schedule (don’t get me wrong, we still game twice a month, we aren’t animals). This lets me get some adventuring in on my own time.
- goat1of4 · v2.8.110
Please, this man. The man developing this game has poured his heart and soul into creating a fully featured experience without any extra IAP. He quit his job for this! I'm not sure if that's still the case now but he tried and that's what matters. Anyways. This game is absolutely amazing for anyone that enjoyed games like the older Ultima titles. Amazing new update, amazing game.
- Bob112113115 · v2.8.100
Has a very classic feeling...akin to some of the first RPGs. Great depth and world size—which, when combined with the freedom to do as you please, creates a very satisfying game experience. There are elements of Ultima, Might and Magic, Dungeons and Dragons, and Diablo... if you enjoy of those games, this is a game for you!
- StarstormKK · v2.7.300
Old school, top down, turn based, character development game. I love it!! Fun to play for 15 minutes or hours. I’ve had the game for a few years now-I enjoy rediscovering the game with a new set of characters. In addition, the developer works at setting new challenges. Excellent game.
- fryguy1971 · v2.7.300
This game would be so much better if it didn’t always close and reload when you leave the app or switch to a different app. As it is it annoys me so much I stopped playing
- Ian2345 · v2.7.300
First time doing a review. Love this game! Extremely high replay value! Strategist dream! Some puzzles are hard so those 1/5 stars are people that give up easy. Easy mode for casuals players. Great community on FB. Crazy party settings after beating the game once!
- Tiger DNA · v2.7.300
I really enjoy this game. It’s fun and addicting. Some of dialogue in the game makes me chuckle. Buy it, it’s worth it. The game play reminds me of the good games when I was I kid. Being an old fart now means it’s hard to find games that hold my wandering attention, but now I’m like wandering with all attention to my next in game jam session So yeah, 5 bucks is totally worth it.
- grandama redburd · v2.7.300
This game is ridiculously fun, with tons of replay value. Half the fun is the mountains of loot you can find, and the other half is leveling up your characters.
- Bad Irene · v2.7.300
This game has a great old school dnd feel to it, like the kind of games I used to play in the 90’s as a kid. Lots of depth and complexity to the games battle mechanics. I was ignoring the auto battle feature at first but soon realized that doing everything manually is tedious and that the auto behaviors are programmable so you can auto and still have your party fight intelligently - it’s fun to watch them go at it and only have to pause and intervene in key moments. The icons are a little small but if you play on iPad it’s not noticeable. I’d say it’s definitely worth the price - I have Icewind Dale on my mobile but usually prefer to play this!
- Red Magnus Stormcaller · v2.7.300
Magnificent. Tons of thought put into this. Old school and rewarding. Well done, folks.
- m3kiss · v2.7.250
Well done game like I used to play on Commodore 64 but better. Amazing content
- JJLTX · v2.7.120
Amazing game! It has been crashing at random times and I’ve been losing progress. Will rate 5 once fixed.
- Croatley · v2.6.305
Excellent game! I would give it many more stars! It’s not over done but it’s HUGE! I played the lite version of the game, running quite a few parties to their limit and was uneasy to spend the $ on this full version. I have NEVER purchased a app game before.. well I liked the lite version and I took the chance. BEST DECISION I’VE EVER MADE! THIS GAME IS AWESOME! Now I’m an old guy so that says something.. I RECOMMEND THIS GAME VERY MUCH! I’ve played it for hours and still look forward to playing it! If you like these kind of games you will NOT be disappointed with this game, you will be very happy! Thank you to the devs, I’m on my way to look into the FB pages to get more involved with the people of this game!
- FunTroy · v2.6.305
Love it best since playing Moria on the VAX in college.
- Flopjack · v2.6.305
What a fun game! Thank you so much for making this! Anyone who has EVER gone to gog.com to download any of the old SSI games, download this immediately! Check out the gameplay videos on YouTube if you have questions. Really fun old school experience. Thanks again for making this labor of love. Your love of old school games really shows...
- D20criticalhit456789 · v2.6.305
Please adjust the sides of the screen in various menus so I don’t have to constantly flip my phone to read things on either edge of the screen under the notch.
- Your_mother_ · v2.6.305
For what the devs had to work with time restraints and money restraints they got the most bang for there buck heres hoping more people buy the game
- zaneqq · v2.6.201
This game has a good story, it is involving, complex, long, and the right amount of difficulty.
- feskilim · v2.6.100
It was hard to believe the reviews but this is exactly what I was looking for too. Outstanding depth and customization options.
