This game reminds me of the original Gameboy games only improved. I can see replayability with the classes and cross traits. I'm currently playing 3 characters at the same time using different play styles. I believe that you can join other players or play solo as I prefer. The more I play the more I learn about the game. Following the main quest is optional, I prefer learning as I play the side quests then play the easy tutorial. Great job on making a cool game.

I want to rate 1 but I like the game too much for that. Not a good idea auto completing quests that take items from our inventory. When im in a rush. Ive always just accepted all the quests and if I don't have many of an item that it asks for. I don't turn it in. I just lost the only 2 X health potions I had and can't get anymore at my current stage to the auto complete with this new update. If it auto takes gear im using at the time. Im done. Ask us in the pop up menu or something.

Hey Jeffery, with version 3.21.3 we added the option to disable quest auto-completion. You can do so in the quest menu under the "Goals" tab. I hope this helps!

Underrated gameplay with nostalgic features. Runs smoothly. Still a favorite of mine. Could the skin changes be a bit cheaper? Yes and no, some seems worth the price especially when there's a deal out while others seem a bit of a stretch to wanna pay for. To each their own in that department but it doesn't hinder the enjoyment of the game AT ALL. 🌛
