Loved the game at the start. Felt like Skyrim in a way that you play it in lite ver, mobile. However the following is lacking: 1) Scaling; regardless how much you do, it does matter since moves are fixed, yet RnGs is terrible damage and stat wise like crit and dodge. This especially applies to the cult apostles. 2) Battle Pace; most script based games have features to speed up battle animations to allow replays, but game does not offer this, so simply too torturing to replay.

I want to love this game but it's just too punishing. You are weak, broke and absolutely useless at everything. I get that you need to start somewhere to feel the progression, however maybe a char creator as a starting point would be nice. Can't equip armour unless you put everything in Str, but then you fail every Chr or Per check. I felt like most fights in the Pit I won only after playing the RNG on evade&block. That's not engaging gameplay. Story also has no hook.

not great. so this game is from the start VERY unfair. you will at any time be fighting a varied mixture of 5 animals and people. and on the rare occasions you DO fight a solo enemy that enemy will be no less than 34 levels higher than you .ALCHEMIST OF WOE. who created this enemy? that is as far as I could get in this slogfest game. sucks that I paid for it because I was sure it would be awesome like the other 2 I paid for that were.

Ouch! Fair criticism I guess. First off - are you confusing protection with level? Anyway, yes, combat in this game requires more strategic thinking than the others. And because it’s less linear, it’s in some places difficult unless you gain some extra experience through the arena or a side quest. The Alchemist: You need to negate his shield.
