As for the player character, his/her goal is to delve into the deepest parts of the realm, in the hope of finding and slaying whoever is masterminding this sordid existence. Supposedly, their only purpose is to collect the eponymous runestones, which are said to be the only things in the underworld realm that has true power. Whenever they are killed, they would be revived later. This is because the player character would fall down a hole into a subterranean realm where there is little chance of knowing about what is on the surface.Īnyway, in this realm, the player character and other denizens are doomed to a life without true death.
However, this world is not depicted in the introduction, but it would not matter much anyway. The player character is a person which seemingly lives in a world with a fantastical setting. The tutorial will not teach everything, and more importantly, does not show how significant luck is to the gameplay. Unfortunately, any complexity which the game seems to have is little more than contrivances due to the prevalence of luck in much of the gameplay. After all, the action takes place on a rectangular grid with tiles which are initially hidden from the view of the player, who has to click on them to reveal them. To an unsuspecting computer-centric player, it might even seem to have elements of the classic Minesweeper. Understandably, this depth would make it marketable on other platforms, such as the computer. However, its gameplay mechanisms suggest a depth that is far beyond that of most other mobile titles which use the touchscreen extensively. Runestone Keeper, developed by China-based team Blackfire, is an example.ĭeveloped first for the mobile platforms, it would seem to be yet another tapper title.
Sometimes, there are game developers who may have stumbled onto a great idea, but do not realize its potential. By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: January 9, 2017
