Its pretty good, I like the story and the game is fun. Update : The game really takes off and develops into a fun environment that keeps you playing. The character development is good and plenty of gear too. Really was a great story and although it felt linear in some areas it still had a lot going on so it was a great time. I had a lot of fun and so far Id say this is the best text rpg I have played.

Immersive writing, simple but effective gameplay, quality soundtrack. I was skeptical at first and it was a slow start for me, but after I learned the play style I enjoyed it immensely. The missing stars are for the same reason others state. You are given choices but most of them are guaranteed to fail on skill checks. Leveling is slow and then you hit a wall. Then debt collectors infinitely loop your cash away, when your next step is to spend 50g on a place to sleep.

I uninstalled the game after 5 hours. I really tried to like the game but no other mobile game has infuriated me as much as this one. The visuals are well made, the writing is nice, the gameplay mechanics are decent. however, the person who designed the progression and story clearly didn't want players to have fun. I don't mind a hard, grindy game, but this game sets you on a railroad track and tries every way to make that path miserable, just for the sake of storytelling.
