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.

Finally a great RPG with full controller support! I love games where you collect a bunch of stuff, can craft with it or sell off junk, has a day/night/time system for shops to open/close, plenty of quests to do, a ton of upgradability to your character, a neat mechanic for the card game, awesome graphics, I could go on. I love it.

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
