Description
Save the lands of Ashmyr
War for supremacy raged on for generations between the different tribes of Ashmyr. Until one day, an ancient force was unleashed that shook the world and granted those nearby immense power. But this power came at a high cost. It took their minds and corrupted their bodies, leaving only a ruthless fiend in their place.
They became known as the Ilcyon, slaughtering armies and obliterating towns as they ravaged the lands, leaving Ashmyr in peril.
Until a new path to hope was formed by a lone warrior. He united the tribes for the sake of survival against the Ilcyon and began a new order, The Bound. Only those proven through years of harsh training were initiated.

Small, repetitive, but I still had fun

It took about 7 hours to finish the story, 4,5h more till full completion. I played on the medium difficulty, which I would call hard... My issues: (In the intro the same text appears twice.) Upgrades are mostly useless (except gear) Leveling pets is almost useless against bosses, OTOH they still gather resources. Tons of gems are needed for good enchants. RNG FTW - you need about 100k gems for a multi enchant. (Multiple perks with level II or III.) Alt + Tab is not working. (I hope this is just me.) There are 3 20k gem pet upgrades, but no idea what they do except change the pet's looks. Using the same one again doesn't seem to do anything either... I have played with the bunny. It can't hide in the ground twice in a row. (This may be intentional.) Bunny strong attack sometimes does not start when holding down mouse button. Also, drinking a potion may not work right / in time. Extreme bosses and tower don't give a lot more loot / XP / gems. Pet feed button sometimes not working. It is disabled even though I have food. I need to switch to another type of food and back. Nice little game, but very grindy on medium. I needed to kill the last of 10 bosses, Magmyros hundreds of times to get stuff for leveling up the best gear in game. Even if one only took a minute or two... I suggest playing on easy and after the story, there is just more grind. Same 10 bosses with extreme versions. Then the tower, which has 25 levels, the last one is to fight all (?) bosses one after the other. After tower, you unlock the endless mode. I put all my level up points into damage, but it nearly wasn't enough. I would prefer more meaningful upgrades. (Like a level 130 pet should (nearly) one-shot bosses... The weaker ones at least. - Same as me...) The graphics and animation are really nice. Got it on sale, so... Overall: Check it out.

Enjoyable but grindy

I am really liking this game, the graphics are cute, the story is decent (though nothing too special or detailed) so far, the addition of pets is fun, I like collecting resources and leveling etc. That said, you do have to grind a decent amount, both to get resources for feeding your pet to level it, as well as upgrading your gear, plus money (for crafting/upgrading+buying items), and the points for leveling yourself. But there's also a letter grade, plus time, for each Ilcyon you fight, which does make it a more fun, trying to get the S+ and beating your best time. Overall simplistic but fun game, would rec to those who don't require detailed plotlines or mind grinding.

Fun! Wish is was longer!

I bought this because it looked "dooable" for my five grandkids and it didn't dissappoint. They all had fun leveling up their favorite character, and having pets they could morph. It's a very short game, but held the attention of ages 4-12 with no problem for the three days we played it. @ the bargain price we got it at, that's a bit of a steal. Cute story, cute characters, we enjoyed quite a bit. sad it's not longer.
