Thank you, BFG. I've been waiting for about 55 weeks for a new RPG.
Princess Calliope's most difficult adventure has been saving lost cats. Then while trying to help her sick father, she becomes involved in a quest to save the world. It's a standard game plot, not only in RPGs.
You have the option of mouse or keyboard controls. It's also compatible with my dual action gamepad type controller.
Enemy HP are shown during battles so you can tell which attacks are doing damage & which attacks are not. That always helps especially fighting Bosses.
The enemies are Not Random. This is a plus for me. I like to be able to destroy all the enemies in an area & relax while exploring. I don't like games with random enemies because you have a battle every time you take a few steps.
There is a Quest Log to keep track of what you need to do. But with any RPG, it's a good idea to have a pen & paper handy to take a few notes.
The graphic are great with lots of detail & color. Very easy on the eyes.
The dialog could be better. But Calliope is ditzy so it can be funny a times. You also need to read it because it contains hints about what to do next & which direction you need to go.
The mazes that you have to navigate are challenging with lots of twist & turns. Some times you have to find exactly the right spot to perform an action like a jump.
The only thing that the game needs is Signs. I haven't found any Signpost on the World Map to indicate which direction you need to go to find a specific town or signs in the towns telling your location.
If you love RPGs like I do you'll enjoy this game. I think you get more for your money than with a HOG or HOPA because these games usually take much long to play. It's not Aveyond but I'm really having fun.
I recommend this game!

I played the full trial. Just as it got my interest the trial expired. I used a Coupon from my Punch Card to purchase this game but things only got worse. The glytches started. Your character would be walking on air, over everything & unable to interact with anything. The only option was continue from my last save point.
The bad points are:
#1. Weapons & Armor are expensive.
#2. Very few chest or ways to get money.
#3. Invisible random monsters that are difficult to kill.
#4. No Health Meter on enemies.
#5. No Quest Log.
#6. Walking on Air Glytch. You have to Save once every minute because it can happen anytime.

I think I should have let the coupon expire.
I don't recommend this game.
