This is the longest Medium badge ever. If you're going for the badge and see this comment, you might want to reconsider it if you don't want to play the game for a very long time.
Definitely a vast decline from the last game. You've effectively made this game into one of almost pure chance, and taken any skill out of it. Having a more predictable, very high difficult game is a lot better than having a high difficulty game with an increase in variability. 2/5 stars, even though Rogue Fable II was 5/5 stars.
I think including a feature to skip past some of the text would be good. Sometimes you just want to jump right into the gameplay. I love the classic design like an SNES RPG!
Sorry that you feel that way, pickle_69.
