Nice mix between point & click adventure, challenging tactical combat and an interesting story with many twists and turns. Oldschool RPGs rule!

I'm playing this now, and surprised by how much fun I'm having. It definitely has that old-school feel and level of challenge. Nice blend of adventure and RPG elements.

I'm usually not real high on indie titles, but I'd recommend Dwarf Run to anyone looking for this type of game. It's dirt cheap too. http://store.steampowered.com/app/395420/

Everything sounded good except the "point and click inventory based puzzles" to me... not my cup of tea. The isometric CRPG elements, sure.

I actually rather enjoyed the arena, once I got into the swing of it all. Really enjoyed this game, if this team ever creates a sequel or another game that is similar, I will be buying it.
