    Solid action-rpg with a unique style. Instabought without even glancing at the price.

    Excellent so far. Nice to sometimes play a game like this with focus on 1 character and not a party.

    So are stats on the loot set or can you find a piece of armor with slightly better stats?

    Also... Is crafting in the game yet? I have mainly been exploring and haven't don't much of the main story.

    How does this compare to the first one in regards to main and side quests? I really enjoyed the first but I never finished it, I ended up getting lost and not knowing what to do or where to go. Are there quest markers in this one?

    Ok so apparently I'm slow, but totally stumped by this puzzle. Any hints? Thank you!

    I can't figure the first crypt mission and the red stone so I have to use it somewhere in here?

    This game is awesome. It has everything to be a good rpg. But its missing an important point: good maps. Getting lost so many times in dungeouns is just frustrating. Why is there no dungeon map? Also after some time into the game i dont know where to go. The quest book is a mess. Nothing is sorted in the quest book.
    This could have been a great game. But it makes the same mistakes as the first part did.
    The Titel of the game should be "9th dawn II - Get even more lost".

    I installed on an iPad Mini 2 (retina), and I'm confused. The "hand" (interact) button seems to do nothing at all. Can't read the first note podium, nothing.

    Any idea?

    Agreed. I get the appeal of making you pay attention to your surroundings and listen to what people say for clues as to where to go next, but those clues are just not there like they are in, say, dragon quest 3. And yeah, the quest book and the maps are basically zero help. Can't even zoom? If this was a pc game it would be one thing. But if you want someone to pull this out of their pocket and pick it up when they get a chance, you have to respect their time and just give em a little nudge about where things stand with quests.

    Not sure of this'll work as I haven't gotten my new phone yet (tonight or tomorrow!!!), but in the original, the game played a lot better when I stopped using the hand icon all together and just tapped on what I wanted. Even on my smaller iP5 screen, the touch detection was very precise.

    An extra frame or two for the walk/run cycle would be cool...

    So aside of crafting questions, like where is it? And are loots stats set or do they get more randomized from drops?

    Will there be a way to clear up the quest log when completed or a dungeon map? I would love to see areas I have explored in a map.

    The official website for the game where it says there is and the drops in the game that say they are used for alchemy.

    Compared to the first one are there more quests and story? I feel like the first game felt kind of empty, with the pixel art style being relatively simple I thought it would be pretty easy to add a bunch of quests but for most of the game (based on how far I got, which was admittedly only a few hours) the quests were few and far between, a few towns I remember didn't even have a single one which made visiting them pointless. Maybe I'm expecting too much for a mobile indie game but I thought with how the game was built it would be easier to add a lot of content.

    I cant play this game with headphones, it's jutting out directly into my palm. Rationalie for locking the screen and deciding for it to be one way over the other? Just turn rotation on.
    EDIT: I want to make sure you know how much I dig these games and appreciate your hard work on them. Don't want to seem ungrateful with these whiney complaints. :p

    Unfortunately in 9th Dawn 2 you don't have the option of just tapping the screen were you want to search, you must use the hand icon to search open chests open doors etc, I do agree it did make things easier in 9th Dawn, if it's possible we may get that option in a update.
