As close to a perfect mobile game as you could possible hope for. I initially bought this game on PC but after 10+ hours I decided to try it on mobile so I could play it during my down time at work and when commuting. It was a no brainer. The controls are perfect, the sound is great, the graphics are clear but simple and more than adequate and the game has so much depth you could easily sink hundreds of hours into it. And there isn't a single advert or microtransaction in sight. 10/10

I've been playing this game for about 10-15 hours now (about 30 if you count my PC time) and I cannot stress how fun this game is. A brilliantly unique RPG experience, a massive leap up from the first two in the series and clearly a ridiculous amount of content! I really hope the Devs keep supporting this game and think about potential future expansions! Thanks Valorware!
