  1. 5 out of 10

    Really enjoyed this title at first (7.5/10) but as we played more and more we realized how unbalanced the game is and how loose/unclear the rules are. The beginning is rife with brutal difficulty and poor implementation of strategy (ie: surround and smash, repeat). Near midgame, you are so overpowered as to rarely take wounds or come close to being defeated. Doubly frustrating difficulty balancing. Thinking about putting in sell/trade pile.

  2. 7 out of 10

    Fantastic RPG game. Choose your own adventure with very thematic characters. You really need to play this game. Though if you're not a fan of DnD style RPGs with your own unique customized games then you may not enjoy this.

  3. 7 out of 10

    For me a 6, for GF an 8. Reasonable as an RPG in a box that isn't a giant KS campaign, but I find the combat repetitive and the choices fairly inconsequential. GF likes the flavor and feeling of it as an "RPG-lite".
