    This appears to be an established RPG too... It's available on Amazon and Desura, and was in one of those Indiegala bundles once too.

    The game seems smooth so far and worth $0.99 but there is an odd interface where you have to swipe on the right side of the screen in one of the cardinal directions to access certain menus that takes some getting use to. I'm always glad to see a port even if they depend on simulated keyboard strokes.

    I agree that the menu controls are a little awkward, but, man, this game has a ton of personality, and unlike some of the jokey, self-aware RPGs we have seen recently, the mechanics are interesting and sound. The game is also an old-school visual treat. An excellent find so far.

    Looks really good and it is super cheap and has a small file size. All in, I love old school RPG's, their my third parent. :D

    I have this on Windows Phone, it's been out for a little while over there, and it is literally the best game on WP.

    I should note that on an iPhone 5/iOS 7 I'm running into a consistent crash at the first boss fight, right when you kill the dragon. Not sure if the crash happens in other devices, but folks may want to hold off till the game is updated.

    Despite having unorthodox controls, this is really really well done i am quite impressed. In fact i think it is much better than some of Kemco's titles.

    The setting feels a bit like Knights of Pen and Paper, but this is done much better IMO and has more personality than most iOS RPGs.

    For a buck, this is a great great pickup i easily recommend to fans of menu based RPGs.

    It's similar to Saturday Morning RPG, both exploiting and poking gentle fun a nostalgia and fantasy RPG cliches. You arrive at a friends house to play D&D and discover a gigantic dungeon in his cellar. So far it's very engaging, with tons of funny banter between party members.

    I reported the bug in the developer's website. As it stands, however, my progress in the game has stopped until they fix the crashing bug on the first boss fight.

    Eh, looks a lot like an rpg maker game. Doesn't look bad, but definitely nothing special

    So far, yes.

    @generalkai: actually, no, it does not look like an RPG Maker game. In fact, the opening of the game kind of pokes fun at generic RPG Maker games. In any event, saying that an RPG looks like an RPG Maker game is as meaningless as saying that a poster looks like it was done in Illustrator. It's what you do with the tool, not which one you use.

    I confirm this crash - happens at the first boss fight on both my iPad mini and my iPhone 5 both running iOS 7.0.2 - both boss monsters are invisible during the fight, and then I believe the crash is triggered at the point where you defeat one of them.

    Disappointed because I was really enjoying this intro episode to the game!

    Any chance of the dev. seeing this and submitting a fix so we can continue?
