The fun factor however dwindles somewhat when you realise that the enemies you face don’t have a decent amount of variety and facing the same enemies time and time again does make things become quite tedious. Without a doubt these problems take away from the good things the game has to offer, and that’s a shame because in terms of the strategy aspects that are present they are actually very good and I definitely had fun planning my next moves. These difficulties consist of unresponsive moments and at times the controls feel a little awkward and you can tell that the game was originally made for PC. It’s a shame because these aren’t the only problems the game suffers with because you will also have a few difficulties with the controls from time to time. Some of the technichal issues the game has makes you not want to carry on and one particular issue that affects your progress is potentially game-breaking, which is unforgivable. Speaking about the difficulty curve it will no doubt cause you quite a few problems and when you combine it with the technichal issues the game suffers witth you end up getting frustrated a great deal. I must admit that I was surprised by the amount of depth that the RPG elements had and if they had a gentler difficulty curve then the elements would’ve been even better. Don’t get me wrong they do get some things right and that’s definitely evident when it comes to the RPG mechanics that have been implemented. I was hoping that would change with the release of Runestone Keeper, but despite it being enjoyable at times it unfortunately suffered with quite a few problems. Unfortunately there hasn’t been an abundance of old-school RPG’s in recent year’s and the one’s that have been released haven’t been the best to say the least.

Unfortunately there Old-school RPG games played a massive part in my childhood and I found them to be my go to games when I was younger. Old-school RPG games played a massive part in my childhood and I found them to be my go to games when I was younger.
