Great game.

Really combines a lot of genres, best description I can muster is Mincraft + RPG Adventure + Pokemon, but that falls a bit short. I have to admit that the over-polished graphics led me to believe some sort of generic polished art, generic genre, generic advertisement induced game, but you proved me wrong like no other, gameplay's fantastic, but ice is a bit buggy, frustrating as hell at times. Main bugs are walking at about 1/4 speed if you melee thrust yourself off the ice, dangerous one. However, the OTHER bug is even more dangerous, if you use just about any attack while you have an enemy cornered on ice, you fly into them, even if you stopped sliding before doing so, so your backing them into the corner bashing of doom is more like suicidal plunge after plunge, really sucks with the fiery fox boss, had to burn 3/4 of my health potions. Final problem was collecting duplicate pet eggs, as pet leveling was terribly linear and you couldn't sell or craft with eggs, not even like an omelet (yea I'm terrible, turn babies into food) But it was rather fun collecting a bit of each and leveling with them, kickin ass in an army of two fashion.

Fantastic Work, keep it up!
9/10, 5/5. ~WCCC

Well-rounded

Good-paced, lengthy adventure game, just the way I like it. I really enjoyed upgrading my weapons with the crafting option, because they gave you the feeling you were making your equipment really special, and also discovering new recipes was really satifying. It was cool to be able to upgrade your equipment along with yourself. The spell system was well-designed, and the collectable pets gave a whole new level of replayability to the game. However, there are few things that kept from this getting a 10:

1. Too much grinding with the kill-x-amount-of-this-creature quests, sorry. They just get way too repetitive and not enough XP or gold to be worth the time.
2. There is no buyback option from the vendor(at least that one that I could find). If you somehow sold one of your unique items, its gone forever.
3. Because your pet is such a crucial part of your gameplay, I feel that you should have better control over him, i.e. indiviual targeting with attack commands and/or controllable abilities.
4. I know this would have caused some problems with the dialogue bar and all, but it would've been awesome to have been able to customize your character, seeing that you would be staring at him for the next couple of hours.
5. A chest here or there would really help those who want to put more points into magic, because they dont have to spend half their points every level-up to simply be able to keep moving.

Great game, kept me hooked, can't wait for the sequel!
