What players say
Pretty fun game. Great for nostalgia if you played the books in the 90s! Thank you for bringing Fabled Lands back to life.

Not developed enough. Too many repeating scenes and screens. UI and gameplay feel clunky. I wanted to like this but options are limited, repeat of beaten combat scenarios. Just needs more.
