Good, but...
I really liked the whole concept of the game, but the grammar mistakes took a lot from the experience. Perhaps an update could fix this?

Its got a lot of potential, but needs an editor. Badly.
This story is very creative and shows an interesting and in-depth world that the author has obviously put a lot of work into. It is unfortunate that it reads like the first draft of a middle school creative writing essay. To be blunt, it needs an editor to go over it. There are so many grammatical errors in the work that at times it makes the story almost impossible to follow. It should never have been released in its current state. Please note that this is not a knock against the author, as from what I have been able to glean from the story is an interesting premise. I want to see more, but this work needs to be revised as right now it is a very strong example of how poor grammar can really kill a story. If I can provide a couple of examples: "Only ruins" - said the wizard. - "You didnt see whats happened with the big cities of this Empire. Its terrible. Come, the night is coming and I see youre tired. Well take a rest there". "Destroyed houses and towers, a green-sparkling grass had grown through the cracks in the stone roads and it was coldly here. Staying here you wanted to think about the terrible and painful past of this city." "It was already darkly when youve come here and the wizard summoned his silver light onto his staff. The far sky returned its bright stars and Elred was shining glaringly as if it tried to incinerate the worlds." Three examples from three pages a fair ways into the story. The author shows a certain descriptive flare, but misses some very basic mistakes that even a spell and grammar check in a writing program would flag and correct. These sorts of mistakes are common throughout the entire work. As a fan of interactive fiction I really want to like this story. Its creative use of a new idea that hasnt really been tried before. I want to see more, but I also want to be able to understand it. If the author updates with an edited version, I will gladly change my review to a higher rating.

Uh...
The game appears to have a complex role playing system to it. Thats the only good thing as the authors use of English isnt very good. The story and characters would have gone a long way with some editing, and I cant help but wonder why Choice of Games gave this one a go. It is rather heartbreaking considering the time and effort that was put into making this game and I commend the author for such hard work. That can only get you so far though as the game becomes unintentionally hilarious with poor grammar and sentence structure. Perhaps with some editing I can recommend the game, but until then you might wanna pass.

So bad.
The writing is so terrible that I honestly gave up and deleted the app after 3 pages. I dont believe English is the authors first language, and I dont believe I would have enjoyed this app even if it had been free. Do not waste your money. Other review is likely written by the author. Read the writing in the description sample pages carefully and youll see the problems.
