Game progress- 100%! The trick is to save up for a golden ticket every time- buy one sword off the bat, then armour as you need to keep your health from dropping too much, but by day 5 or 6, try to have enough to buy the ticket when it comes up. Play the ticket as you fight a monster and make mad money. Keep enough back for another ticket if you can, although by day 14 or so, you should keep a divine edge in your inventory to deal with dragons. Upvote FTW!
If you love pointless grinding for weeks at a time, you'll probably like this game. Probably makes a great facebook game, but just doesn't work for a site like this.
I read the comments here and was a little discouraged, since I wasn't a huge fan of Hands of War, but I thought this game was great. Difficulty progresses well and bugs aren't as bad as people might suggest. A wide variety of build options give plenty of replay value too, even if the game's "riddles" are a little silly. 5 stars in my book.
