this is hands down the best text RPG on the Play store. I've beaten the whole trilogy one way or another. personally, I could have used more fireball. but where plot usually isn't a consideration for me, this one stays worth reading. five and a half stars. edit: characters with "charge" should be allowed to "attack from a distance." just a suggestion.

so after coming back to the game after a while Ive gotten a bit addicted, and the changes to the klaris cartel event was nice, make reputation have a more grounded effect as well as rewarding players who can fight them off, and tht it doesn't disregard the system entirely as they come back later, I only have a few criticism's at this point. 1. end game is less challenging, getter then last game though 2. glide this move needs some kind of drawback, it's far too rewarding to enemy and player

Update: Version 1.4.0 is out now which contains a couple of changes in regards to the debt collectors. You can now negotiate (based on your reputation) or attempt to fight them (which will harm reputation but will get them off your back for some time).

it's almost impossible to win a battle on your first try. Your character is severely under-leveled for each battle. Oh, you need to pass by this one group of thugs to continue your story? "Try again 5+ times to get past." even with strength at 3, highest armor you can buy and a strong weapon; it's still "try again" after 5 times. I like the story, but I can't play because I don't have enough power to do any fights. Yes, I'm all the side quests, getting every amount of XP I can.
