I have played and enjoyed many games of this genre, but the little things in the fighting make a lot of difference to the experience as a whole. – James PayresThe skills are very unique and I love the item combining system.

It didn't get that much buzz. There was never even a TA article about it. The main thread did alright, but that wasn't enough to get it onto the top 200 for more than three days. There's better KRPGs out there in any case.. rann Well-Known Member Feb 14, 2011 934 0 16 #8 rann, Jun 22, 2011 Thanks the dev for making it free and backtothis for posting it! Vague Rant Member Jun 5, 2011 20 0 0 http://vaguerant.tumblr.com/ #9 Vague Rant, Jun 22, 2011 I had some interest in this back when it was a pay app, so I thought I'd check it out now that it's free, and ended up feeling pretty mixed about it--glad I waited. On the positive side, it's of course very pretty, and the music is good too. On the negative side, it should never have been released on the iPhone. In addition to the standard problem of virtual imitations of real inputs in an action game, the interface is huge, static, opaque, and only about 10% of it is actually functional. And yet in contrast, the menus, e.g. shops, skill tree, etc., all use ridiculously tiny, unusable buttons. There's a good game buried in there, it's just that it's on the wrong system and has a poorly thought-out UI. At least the Engrish dialogue is good for a few laughs.
