I actually found the overall quality/playability of this little gem to be superior to a SLEW of larger, obscenely funded console games. It mixes some beautifully animated D&D board game style mechanics with decision trees reminiscent of those "Choose your Own Adventure" books from the 80s. Every battle & decision carries sobering consequences, thus successfully immersing the player in a gaming universe where losses are often, but victory is like delicious candy. Brilliantly done!
