You get what you pay for…and more

A solid RPG with a great story, decent combat system, and a interesting set of enemies and areas to explore. On top of that, you also get an amazing Ancient Mesopotamia/Babylonian theme, that is rarely ever seen in other games. Replay-able if you want to do more side quests, or try different options with NPC interactions during they main quest line, and if you just want to replay the game. Overall a great game without any real issues.

excellent game

really enjoyed it, intriguing story (story is VERY important and far too many developers completely ignore it), graphics look great, the controls are easy to use. the in-app purchases are optional dlc, which imo is (at their low price and decent quality) reasonable even in a paid game. i wish there was a sequel, though.

Super impressed, this game has a very classic RPG feel and style, if you’re a old school gamer, you’ll like this game.

Love it, want more

Great game, great story, light on the tutorial but that’s a good thing, wastes less time, and allows the players to discover things for themselves. What is the “long and remarkable story for another time?”. Eagerly and hopefully awaiting a response
