Warlock of Firetop Mountain

Back in the day with so few choices for solo roleplay, adventure books seemed like a way to experience an RPG when there was no D&D game happening. Today there are so many better solo options to scratch the RPG itch, so why play a trial and error adventure game with somewhat random combat? Nostalgia perhaps, but replaying the same adventure over and over trying to remember the right moves is exactly the downside of those adventure books that modern tech should be used to overcome, not enshrine. Game books were tiresome then, and now it is no different, except for the fact that there are so many way better game choices out there. Cool graphics cannot hide very mediocre gameplay. Time better spent elsewhere.

I would give this game 5 stars - but it crashes on load with iPad OS 13. Please update, or stop selling it!

Look great but I haven't landed a hit yet. In this game you don't attack a space occupied by the opponent, instead you attack a space you think the opponent will go. Sound confusing? It is.

Update: Reported problem. Received very responsive email from Neil. Problem fixed and update sent in just one day. Great support. Update star ratings back to 5 for this supurb game. Game frashes going into maze. Sent report. Cleared all memory. No help. This is incredible game whe works. Started after update from yesterday, though i never reached this far before so dont know if that is cause. once fix il update this very special game to 5 stars. It is brilliant!

Tapping to continue fails occasionally...which means you cannot continue...which means the game is unplayable.

Was 5 stars, but your last patch broke Tap to Continue, so it does not work half the time. This makes the game unplayable, and, thus 1 Star. Fix the problem and don’t patch in additional problems, and the review will go back to 5 stars.

The game itself is excellent. I ended up buying the "complete" pack which was $7 to unlock all the characters. But whenever I select Wilhelm the game crashes to home screen. Also, there are multiple graphics and interface issues. I contacted the developer and have gotten no response. Great job on the game but it needs to be supported better. Crashes like that should be absent especially in a great game like this. Fix it for 5 stars you Aussie maniacs.

The miniatures was a cool addition, but the game play is very disappointing. First off, a lot of times the choices you're given don't provide enough information to make an informed decision. Finding the best choice feels random, and it feels like you just get randomly punished instead of being able to make smart decisions. Secondly, I wanted to like the combat, but it's really not fun and just about learning whatever random pattern the monsters have by continuously restarting the fight to learn the pattern, or face running out of health before too long. Overall, the game is disappointing.

It really suffers due to not having multiple game saves. Maybe they will fix this so you can play different characters without having to delete a game just to try another character.

Just try and take on two enemies, they dodge all your attacks.
