Anyway—I won’t go on & on, but try this game if you’re a fan of RPGs at all—it’s not too pricey and both the quests and combat (simple as it is) are a lot of fun.

Presented in a charming pixel-art style, it invites players into a vast and colorful world filled with dungeons, towns, forests, deserts, and hidden ruins waiting to be uncovered.
