Of course it's not the most ideal position but sometimes I just don't have a choice. I mostly play with my iPad on the train or maybe walking somewhere, not necessarily sitting down in front of the desk.

At the very least, this should be an option, not hardcoded.

And I thought text-walking was bad enough! I hope you don't fall in a manhole.

The more I play of this the more I'm loving it.

I just found a piece of what looks like rare armour from a mission complete chest. A really low level mission that I was just repeating for xp.

Picked the game up a little while ago. Really love the opening, and I'm not sure many folks picked up on this -- and maybe I'm misreading it myself -- but there seemed to be a little homage to Demon's Souls there at the end of the opening.

That being said, I immediately stopped playing once the game started. I can't read anything (playing on 3GS), and there's no point in trying to do anything when I can't read the text. This looks like a good game, and I want to enjoy it while I played it, rather than simply muddle through. So, I'll wait for a fix.

Honestly, the text that you can't read at the beginning (mainly the tutorial text) really isn't all that important. It's pretty easy to pick up. Just mainly your standard equipment slots, etc.

Once you get past that, there really isn't that much text to read and what is there is fairly readable (if you squint ). It's really the tutorial text that's completely blurry and unreadable.

I've been playing enough to level up to LVL 10 without any issues in regards to text.

Yeah, you can get some "rare" armor from quests that can normally only be bought for crystals, i.e. through IAP. I've gotten two pieces so far and I'm level 14.

I always play like that, holding the iPad. Same for my girlfriend and the four friends I know who has one. Only one of my colleagues play with the iPad flat on a table.

Edit: I have had trouble with the new iPad though, that seems just a tiny bit too heavy, so I usually support that on something, but never flat on a surface.

Ow and on topic: fun, simple game, with good mechanics. :-)

It is fun.

Please triniti, make it so he attacks when you touch the button, not when you release your finger.

That is the worste feature of this entire game.

Other wise, it's great.

Don't disagree with the changing this, but for some reason it doesn't bother me. Guess since it's a hack n' slash type of game you're constantly smashing and lifting your finger anyway.

That aside, I think the early impressions weren't totally justified. There's some bugs here and there, but overall, it's pretty enjoyable.

I also have found some nice equipment in drops....still not at the level to use them, but still. Definately doesn't seem like IAPs are necessary. I have gone back to some earlier quests to help level up a bit, but it doesn't seem excessive.

Nice RPG-lite with a Diablo kind of feel to it. I like the slot machine but still think 1000 coins is a lot for buying tokens since you don't always get a prize. So I've just been sticking mostly to tokens I've gotten from quests.
