THIS GAME HAS AWESOME SUACE X10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great homage, and a great game!

I was very surprised to find out that this was the author's first game - for a free game made in flash, it's fun, has a light and quirky sense of humor, and is a solid RPG while making references to things both present and past.

Your party consists of four likable heroes who are on a quest for gold - and possibly glory and heroism. Each hero can spend points to improve in one of three jobs out of four possible - meaning one character might be able to choose between putting their level/skill points into fighter, mage, and rogue, while another might have the options of rogue, healer, mage.

The system is strong and flexible - I'm fairly certain you could have a good, interesting and successful game whether you blend your classes or embark with a party of healers and mages. The deciding factor for stats is not your skill or level, however, but your equipment; a model I'm normally not too fond of that works well here, due to the highly random nature of the dungeons and the potential to respec your characters to see what most suits your needs/inclinations. If you feel you've messed up, it's a paltry some of gold that scales to level to respecialize all of your characters!

Of course, there is a lot to click - only worth mentioning if you have a touchpad like I do, and I still played through even with the risk of carpal tunnel. A portal marker for the town portals would have been nice, but is obsoleted with scrolls that you can use anywhere, anytime. Players who are used to fetch quests may feel unfamiliar with the old school 'there is a dungeon there. Go explore it!' gameplay - but I promise it's worth a try.

Add in some fun minigames, a refreshingly brisk and silly story, and a random dungeon + the option to continue delving after you've finished, and what more need be said? I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys RPGs, character customization and games that are simply fun. And if you ever happened to play a very underrated game called Mystic Quest, check this out for some sheer nostalgia. :)

too awesome for words

i love the simplicity of the game, it brings me back to the good times of final fantasy/turn base rpg. i hate all FF after 9 cant stand them, this was a real fun experience :)

its great

if this sucks then I'm teenage dirt bag...wait...last time i checked :| never mind its good the animation is OK fun story line attacks aren't boring its an overall good rpg you get a 10-10
