« The hand drawn art has the perfect balance of "not good" and "hilariously well suited to the game". It's incredibly charming! And the unique blend of point n click + CRPG is unlike anything else I've seen. »

« Do you know what makes Might and Magic so good? Because it is the digital equivalent of crack. And this game has some of that. So if you want to get high, don't waste money on drugs, take a tour of the seven islands instead. »

« A gem of a game, well worth the money. It's well written, charming and addictive with cute puzzles that are neither too hard or simple. If there is ever an expansion or a second game I will buy it. »
