Perhaps it's just my lack of skills, but the enemy knockback, the great backtrack back town, the near non-existent backpack space, the sadistically low drop rate (of gold and items alike) among other stuffs make this game grindy and painful. Even though the story and the music are good (but not excellent. Come on, the story isn't even that original), I can't really immerse into the game just because of the gameplay.

Got bored and gave up one minute into the game.
