Absolutely love the game so far, great improvement from the first two games, which were good, too. Better UI, lots of QoL improvements, etc. Massive open world and lots to do. Definitely worth the money. I've found 2 little problems, tho: 1. I've had a few items in dungeons go invisible, but they reappeared when I reloaded the map. 2. The dodge button is too close to the change character button. I keep accidentally changing to my companion in the middle of a fight.

This game is insane! Worth every penny. Incredible content that will keep me busy for a very long time. I'm about 6-7 hours in and just getting started. Super fun, not made to be easy, but not made to be impossible. Google helps figure stuff out if you get stuck. Loads of fun, would highly recommend. It's like diablo X skyrim.

I am ecstatic that this wonderful game is finally getting a fraction of the traction it deserves. I first found this game when it still had 1k downloads, and I was amazed by how good it was compared to the absolute swill that infests the modern mobile (and pc/console too, honestly) gaming market. 9th Dawn is a genuinely super high quality RPG, it plays like you have squashed Skyrim into ALTTP. I am a game designer and I hope that one of my projects will have even a fraction of the polish of this
