It seems very similar to Ahriman's Prophecy (both are free, so I downloaded that, too), even to the point that their respective English translations could both make anybody wince.
Thing is, I'm put off in console titles by the...
1) linearity
2) bland characterizations,
3) poor writing (12-year-old nastiness among companions passing for wit, etc),
4) hackneyed plots,
5) damned cutesiness of the doll-like faces and baby-like avatars,
6) boring, almost non-strategic combat.
How far have you gotten in Ahriman's Prophecy? Does it get around most of the issues I've mentioned, above?
