    Must-Buy!

    Definitely was not expecting for this game to become one of my favorite games of all time. I bought it because I had heard good things about it when it came out waaay back when. That it was a sleeper hit basically. Boy were they right. This game feels like a video game, but in the best way possible. Lot of replayability and it's a blast! You can switch between different classes, and even hybrid classes. You also have a companion that follows you everywhere and helps you out. You can recruit two more "pawns" but those are intechangeable - don't get attached. You'll need to get new ones as you level up. There are a lot of weapons and the world was fun to explore

    Excellent game

    I'm so glad I bought this game, great graphics, story and game mechanics for an affordable price. This is a cheap skyrim look-alike rpg adventure that is not too difficult to master. It sits in between PS3 and PS4 for graphics and tries to achieves 30 fps succeeding most of the time.

    Great action RPG

    Amazing version on the Switch! Action RPG that surprised me with the gameplay and mechanics. Can’t wait for the 2nd one! Lots of variety in the classes that you can choose from from magic users to more physical and action based classes to archer classes.
