The verdict
A very cheap, short RPG Maker Zelda-like with real-time combat and pleasant music, but it's buggy, shallow, and punishes leveling with scaling enemies. Skip it if you want story or polish.
Great for
Bargain hunters, achievement and card collectors, and fans of retro Zelda-style action RPGs who forgive rough edges
Main risk
Shallow, unfinished and buggy, with enemies that scale with your level and a story that barely exists

Shallow combat and meaningless classes
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 negative reviews
