Picked this up for 10 bucks last week. Unless you count 10 dollars worth of the hundred dollars I spent on my GBA Flash Card, this is the best 10 bucks I've ever spent on a game. I declare this to be the perfect RPG. Super great combat system and virtually no story. Or if you spend 5 minutes at gamefaqs, totally no story. You can pretty much talk to 2 people, get directions to the temple, and then stay there permanently. Why am I at the temple? The developers conveniently dropped a cliffs notes of the masterplots of the story right into the title: The temple is evil. Like a Mosque.

Better yet, I discovered that if you don't feel like it, you really don't even have to move because there's a button labeled "rest" that deals you a random encounter. It's Monster Manual video poker. I raised 2 levels without exploring anything. Well, technically, the bodies piled up so much that at one point I had to move my whole operation 50 feet down the hall.

After 15 hours, the combat hasn't gotten at all boring. I'm using both the official and fan-made patches, and I've yet to encounter a serious bug. This is so much better than Neverwinter Nights that it's not even fair. Faire. Of course, YMMV - Yay Monster Manual! VROOM!
