Common complaints
- UI elements and text far too small on phones, unplayable on iPhone even with scaling options

- Aspect ratio and resolution issues on newer devices like iPad mini
- No active developer support; last update 7 years ago, abandoned support forums
What real reviews say
★ Needs controller support Buttons too smol, pretty please.
★★ Broken mechanics- not in a good way 2nd half of story (Cloakwoods) wont open due to storyline logic breakdown. Unable to finish story. Unable to carry characters forward to next game. Last developer update 7 yrs ago.
★ Stuck in tutorial Would love to play the game in the tutorial and learn how to play it, but all of my characters are stuck in the tutorial and can’t make the move
