19 of 19 · most liked firstA very buggy, hopeless, wannabe RPG game attempt The game gives you a short-term expectation at first, but as you progress a little further, you realize the emptiness and simplicity of this work which leaves you majorly disappointed. There’s a literal approach of "let’s make 2 hours pass so we can get our payment". It’s hard to comprehend positive reviews, most likely they don’t pay any attention to details at all while playing a game. Detailed All Cons: - There isn’t any Key Re-mapping. It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the worst isometric RPG i have ever played in my life. DO NOT play unless it is gifted to you for free. IF it is gifted to you, only play when you are extremely high or tired and ready for a good laugh. This game is ridiculous.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool atmosphere of 17th century Istambul, the gate to Ottomans empire. Fun action rpg with crafting looting and fast pasted combat. Follow our Curator: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28316939-RPGTCGSTRATEGY/

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super Epic Slap for you bass players. The story is trying to be serious but some of the interactions with the world are funny. I like the theme of it all just wish it was in a more polished state. You start with a comical epic slap as your weapon and every thing else kind of has the same attack pattern.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: The game is not the best hack and slash but it's not awful either. Average indie game with some good ideas that aren't greatly executed. I wish there was a neutral (like curator reviews for neither thumbs up or thumbs down) as the games may be to someone's liking. Top cons: - extremely lacking itemization - bad merchants/shops system - very lacking skills system very badly designed progression - cannot rebind keys - souls don't actually save when using the "save/keep souls" revival…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Standard RPG in a unique setting , but it still needs some optimization tune-up before it is fully enjoyable. You begin by choosing the difficulty; story mode is available for those who don’t want to struggle with action part of the game. Then you make a character with a few basic options and choose a path that will give you more points in various stats. You can choose between strength, wisdom, and agility. This also provides you with additional options during conversations. Because the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid game right here. Has a nice base to work off of. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the looty aspect of the combat. I'd like to see more RPG elements. It'd also be nice to have the option for English voiceovers but I do appreciate that there are subtitles. Again i's a nice effort. Sample gameplay: https://youtu.be/_QP1B_k5Itk
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, I've bought this game for fun and I think a few things can be corrected but its playable when your bored. Interesting adventure. Can recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game with an interesting storyline. The cities have a cool design and maintain the atmosphere of 17th century Istambul. I highly recommend checking out this game, you will not regret it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[url=https://youtu.be/7D2KGFOHqm4?si=3keOdCKtwh_f3wri] First 20min Gameplay here Here we have game which just feels like an unpolished game. I'm not gonna say that it doesn't have any bugs or even maybe some other issues. But I really think that this is not a game which just should be left somewhere. It really has great potential... From what I've seen so far - story wise - it is a great RPG. It just needs some fixes to be held between the good ones... Anyway, this is a game which I think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found the game mechanics to be a bit bland, but I liked the atmosphere. At the end of the all, we have a promising title here.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →too simple, too easy, too buggy, english is horrible, graphics are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I struggle to find any redeeming qualities, if it was $5 in 2005 then maybe it'd be an OK game?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is cool, the city is nicely developed and the plot is nice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game design perfect and gameplay are nice, there are a few bugs, but games at these prices generally have these bugs, after all, we can find bugs even in GTA :) One of the things I like most about the game is that the team is constantly updating the game. The game could be better if a few features were deleted :) overall I liked it. Thanks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad buggy game like the otehr made by this guys
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing game with excellent mechanics and storytelling. I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a good time playing the game and it was enjoyable overall. However, it didn't particularly captivate me or keep me hooked. It's a decent game, but it lacks that extra something to make it truly engaging. I belive that the developers will continue working on this game, which will make it even better. I recommend everyone to try it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics and atmosphere of the game are beautiful. It's waaaaay above what is expected from an indie team. I hope they improve themselves more in their new games.
