Mildy entertining grindfest of phones

I loved playing pen and paper RPG's as a kid. The only limit of building incredible worlds to play in, was our own imagination. Yeah, there was also some rules and grinding and dice rolling, but that was merely a framework for our grand adventures. This game however is ALL about grinding dicerolling. It's a bare-bones tactical rpg experience, with little to no stories in between battles. The game is this kind of a tongue-in-cheek, retro-style nerd reference collection, which is cute, innocent but also a little tiresome. I originally bought this game for my phone, and I have to say, it was a fun distraction. Fast, quite strategical, turn based battles, very little text to read, lots of loot and slow but constant character building (mathematically, of course). And ideal little game to play on my way to work. On a PC however, there's not much reason to play it, when there are much better options out there (yeah, I have no idea why i bought it on steam as well. I guess it was discounted). The content here is just very limited. I don't know how much of it is automatically generated, I believe most of them are individually crafted - as most of them only consist of about three speech bubbles and a couple of encounters. When a game's this compact, the framework is this limited, little balancing problems (my level 20 priest became practically indestructible, spending most of his time healing up my level 21 paladin, who got constantly ruined in battle), the lack of variation, and constant grinding really starts to get into the way of joy. Also, though it's a pc port, there're still microtransactions available. It's not needed, and it messes up the flow and the economy, but the possibility is there. It really shouldn't be. All in all, we're not on the phone anymore, and this just doesn't cut it as a crpg. It's in the tradition of coffeebreak games, and if that's what you're after, then get this one. If you want more depth in an rpg, buy Wizardry 8 (for 2 dollars less).

If the price is right.

I love this game. The music is fun, and the story line is interesting. (Keep in mind this game is meant to poke loving, lighthearted jabs at Dungeons and Dragons and you'll be fine.) It is indeed a grind-fest, but the best kind. You do feel accomplished when you finally finish a mission, or level up, or unlock some new ability. And, honestly, i love that it is from the perspective of people playing a table-top game. However, I feel like this game would be much better in the mobile version... Something you whip your phone out for and grind a bit, turn it off and come back to it later. It's not really something that keeps me glued to my computer screen for hours on end. But, I still recommend this game, especially if you get it on sale. It's a fun experience.

Great up until a point...

Honestly this game is kind of great. Until you hit the point where the joke is no longer funny. The pop culture references are fun but the game ultimately turns into fetch quest simulator and the grind becomes a chore. Others have said it and it bears repeating - Get it for free on mobile. There really isn't much difference and that's the games weak point. It's a mobile free-to-play game on PC with the "pay" grind left in. The plot does have it's moments but a lot of the satire starts to become tedious and it really is just a shame that it's not balanced better.

if you must

I have spent about 9 hrs in the game today and must say that from being pretty entertained, I am starting to be tired of the chore - there is a lot of grind into the game that I did not expect that... still the fights are pretty nice, although there is not too much depth into it. I do not find the humor entertaining and the graphics is only nice (I like pixel art). Bought it on a sale and the price was fair for the game. Do I like the game in overall? Yes. Do I reccommend it? No. Does it even make sense?

Not Worth Your Time And Money

At first the game seems charming, the idea of an RPG which is a simulated D&D style roleplay is pretty original and goofy. The game is filled with pop culture references and silly jokes and the retro styled pixel graphics and music are not that bad…. But….. In this game GOLD is everything, you need gold to travel, resurrect dead characters, upgrading gear, buying room upgrades, buying items at the merchant…. You need tons of gold for everything but the game is rewarding you so little it gets frustrating pretty quick. The XP / Leveling is also a real pain in the butt in this game. You launch a level 4 escort quest but you have to fight level 20 enemies, you launch a level 15 quest but you keep dying even tho you are +20. Some quests are so stupidly easy they require no strategy or preparation while some quests are so hard you just want to uninstall the game and be done with all that nonsense. But later on you will realize it’s because the quest are made for 5 characters but in the beginning you can only have 3 and hiring new members will cost you… you get it… gold… In the end the game is very repetitive, the quests are boring and the backtracking is legion. You will always be visiting the same locations again and again without anything new to keep you entertained. It's just a nice packaging for what is in reality a pretty bad game.
