Aggravating, hard, bizarre, strange. Detractors may call this game any of those things, and honestly, they're right, but they fail to mention that it's also addictive, rewarding, and encourages deep strategy, as well as casual play. Sure, you might lose on your best run to finish a quest because you got snuck up on by a very angry, rock throwing goblin. Or you might reach unseen heights and events, and get further than you've ever thought possible.
The game can be a pain. But man, is it a good pain. Highly recommend.
