Loved the game at the start. Felt like Skyrim in a way that you play it in lite ver, mobile. However the following is lacking: 1) Scaling; regardless how much you do, it does matter since moves are fixed, yet RnGs is terrible damage and stat wise like crit and dodge. This especially applies to the cult apostles. 2) Battle Pace; most script based games have features to speed up battle animations to allow replays, but game does not offer this, so simply too torturing to replay.

I want to love this game but it's just too punishing. You are weak, broke and absolutely useless at everything. I get that you need to start somewhere to feel the progression, however maybe a char creator as a starting point would be nice. Can't equip armour unless you put everything in Str, but then you fail every Chr or Per check. I felt like most fights in the Pit I won only after playing the RNG on evade&block. That's not engaging gameplay. Story also has no hook.

It's fun, but I'm not sure I like the way the combat works. I should be able to use my healing items during combat, especially if "end turn" means I'll end up dying anyway. Gold is way to hard to come by, not to mention the scripted debt collector events. The starting stats are terrible and I was under the impression of being able to choose a class, but that's not true. I get that it's a strategy game, and I've tried different combat styles, but most enemies are near impossible to defeat.

You get to pick a class once you’ve completed the Pit quest. Combat becomes a lot more interesting then. As for the debt collectors- we’re aware that they’re not exactly enjoyable.
