A decent game with pretty decent storyplot. The stat are nice to add replaybility values but i agreed with the non combat stat having little to no use even at higher level. Better just go max battle skills. Overall other aspect seem fine. Good work on trying reading more fun

I enjoyed this gamebook every much! I love reading interactive story books and this one had the bonus of having to strategize battles. I struggled at first and kept having to restart. Then I realized I could add bookmarks to save my progress and it was much easier after that. It is fairly short and I was able to finish it in a few hours but it was completely free so I didn't mind! The storyline kept me interested and the gameplay was very fun. I wish I could find more gamebooks just like this!

It's very well made. The story is gripping. I love how the combat system works. However, I've repeatedly encountered a glitch on page 630. I've killed Formorians in their lair and gained a lot of gold, but when I got back to Darklake(p. 630), my gold became 17 when I should have well over 100. When I sell stuff to the blacksmith there, gold goes down instead of up.

Honestly a fun game but as another review has said it's super unbalanced in favor of going all strength/stamina. Played a few times and have consistently missed when there was 3/4 difference between my attack and the enemy's defense, I had combat advantage, and wasn't fatigued, while they land hits more often with 3/4 disparity between their attack and my defense. Warrior is cheese, even on hard.

Its a good short game. My biggest gripe is the combat system, the offensive/defensive option almost never seem worth it it, and combat is too RNG reliant which is fine until you have to face three enimies in a row and hope to god you get good luck. It is very punishing early game. Here is a tip: forget agility and dump your stat points into strength, stamina, and perception. Also if you are playing ranger take the climbing skill. Overall its good for a first game and I liked the artstyle to it.

Solid execution - decent story, world, and options. I had good fun replaying this. It's short, but that's not a bad thing as it encourages replaying and trying different options. Couple of bits feel like they don't quite work - the ambush mechanic never seemed to impart any benefits/penalties, perception above 4 didn't seem to do anything. Charisma didn't seem to do anything at any level. It struggled to make use of the non combat skills - always better to just pump combat.
