    A poorly mixed batch of mini-games, tedium and awkward play wrapped in shell of dated graphics and forgetful music. Give this game a pass.

    One of the biggest missed opportunities I've come across for quite some time and a huge disappointment.

    Though the graphics are sharp, the world is tiny and the pain-in-the-ass controls make killing monsters a chore.

The missions are either fetch quests or fighting damage sponge monsters with no HP bars or fighting monsters with annoying mechanics. There's absolutely 0 story, the hub city consists of 5 buildings. Almost every mechanic is designed to be annoying (pickaxes break after ~5 uses, have to do stupid minigame to cook, animation for everything).
