You all know the virtues of the current mobile game market. It's either a money-drawing card or a screen full of red dots and automatic pathfinding. Looking for a stand-alone game where you can calm down and play is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I found this game after browsing forums for several days. It's free, has no in-app purchases, and doesn't even have ads. It's a pure and honest game.
Let's talk about the game itself. You play the role of a savior who wakes up from ancient times and leads a group of friends with different personalities to explore the ruins of civilization. There is no such mindless numerical crushing. The battles focus on lineup matching and skill combos. The monsters are also carefully designed, and they are not just changed skins to fool people. What surprises me the most is the adventure system. You never know whether the next fork in the road will be a treasure chest or a trap, whether you will meet a mysterious businessman or trigger a hidden plot. This kind of uncertainty is what an adventure game should have!
The plot is not bad either. The villain organization "Niflheim" is not the kind of brainless villain, everyone has their own motivations and story lines. There are also bonding conversations between teammates, not tool NPCs. While running the map, you can also pick up various document fragments, and slowly piece together the buried history of this world, which is much better than the routine of "saving the princess" at the beginning.
The platform is 5.0. The developer sounds like an unknown small workshop, but they have completed the entire game in a down-to-earth manner. There are no in-app purchases, no physical limitations, and no forced internet connection. You can play it when you open it, and stop whenever you want. This is what a stand-alone game should be like. To be honest, there are really not many studios willing to make this kind of pure stand-alone mobile game now, so just play and cherish it.
Anyway, I played for a week, and after clearing the level, I still collected hidden elements in the second game. If this quality was sold for dozens of dollars on Steam, I would be willing to pay for it, and they just gave it to me for free. If you are also tired of the routines of those card-drawing mobile games, you can try this game, it won't hurt.
