I tried...I really did...but no go

RPG games can often take time to develop and become fun right? So I gave this game over 20 hrs and still found nothing worthwhile.

Killing rats is an old standard for starting off a standard RPG...but after 10 hrs of gameplay, can you at least toss me a goblin or some type of humonoid!

After breaking open 100's of barrells to get crazy fun items like rusty nails and mere penny's, it started to get really old. Eventually I went from the terrifying rats to the awe inspiring Amoeba! Ohhhh, now that will send terror running through your blood.

A completely linear game that offers up your standard "lets go run an errand for Susie the Barmaid" over and over and over. The maps are hard to navigate if you dont have a steller memory, the character ramble over and over to the point of pure frustration, and the puzzles are boring and pointless.

In fact, I found the whole game pointless...RPG's are based on a risk and reward principal. You do things enough times, you get rewarded by gold, or levels, or special armor. After 20 hours of maxing out with chainmail, I said forget it.

Sorry folks, but unless you like to be errand boy, or you really do enjoy killing a 100 rats, this game is boring at best.
