This is an amazingly fun and creative game. Battles work by the main character walking over enemies that at the same level or 1 level higher and die instantly. If the enemy is the same level as you then you take -1 HP. If it is 1 level higher then you can still defeat it, but it does -2 HP. Every enemy you kill gives you 1 EXP, unless you find the hidden Boost that doubles it (2). There are hidden boosts and rare enemies to fight. The battles are simple and differ from normal RPG battles. The game's graphics are cute and colorful. This Zelda-type RPG is truly fun and creative for a iOS game and is really well made. If you're wanting a nice RPG with good graphics, fun gameplay, lots of exploring, helpful hidden objects, and several secret enemies all at the tip of your fingers, then I could not recommend a better game.

Imagine if the original Legend of Zelda had been made first on the app store, this would probably be it. It has all the fun, cryptic puzzle solving and exploring of the original LoZ but its held back by Mobile game design. Fighting enemies is done by running straight into them, meaning that you take damage every time you deal it. Once you kill enough enemies you get a level up that allows you to be immune to low level monsters and lets you kill higher level ones. This system holds you back from progressing the game. You'll always have to grind enemies before you move forward so that you are strong enough to solve the next puzzle. Thats very detrimental to the game's fun factor. You are always stopped in your tracks because you don't yet have enough health to continue. It's a fun game when you're solving puzzles, but it gets dreadful when you have to grind. Still, it's a small file and free, definitely worth a try.

This game was so much more than I expected. I loved exploring the world and I loved progressing through the game. The secrets you find occasionally are really rewarding, and the puzzles have the adventure point and click feel of being interesting solutions. I absolutely loved this game and honestly I would have paid money to play it, I am so glad I chose to download this. If you're a fan of the old school adventure games like Legend of Zelda or Hydlide, and enjoy unique puzzles and gorgeous sprite art, do yourself a favor and pick this up!

A quarter of your time will be spent grinding out xp to make the next puzzle possible. Why include tedium in a game? Were the developers padding for the sake of increased playtime? Unfortunately, some of these "puzzles", which you spend a few minutes apiece grinding for, are just "find the false wall, dummy." Not much of a puzzle. Not worth anyone's time. Other than that, without spoiling anything, the final battle feels unnatural and stunted while locked to a grid in a new game mode that is not meant to be grid-based. The graphics, story, and polish show that the developer does care about the game but that doesn't excuse or explain the massive blunders that carried into the final design. Neither great nor bad, it occupies the same forgettable place that many games do.

If you expect Zelda-style action RPG battles you will probably be disappointed, but that is not this game's style. While the battling is pretty much limited to intentionally running into enemies that are not too hard or too easy based on your level, the whole experience is rich and has me wanting more. The graphics and presentation are bright and colorful, and the real joy for me is in exploring and solving puzzles then exploring areas I couldn't reach before.
