Pocket RPG is a game I have been looking forward to for a while now and I must say it fulfilled what i was looking for.

From the start you select one of 3 classes, your typical ranged, melee or caster. Then it is off to slaughter endless monsters and bonk guards on the head to wake them up it appears the monsters are nice enough to let them sleep! The quests are pretty much done as clear this zone of monsters, kill boss monster, advance to next zone. The equipment system is done with random drops and purchased items at the end of each round.

The fun thing about Pocket RPG is that the gear you start out with at the beginning of each round is the gear you purchase in the store, otherwise you are setup with a pretty bare set of equipment and have hopes of finding better gear during your monster slaying.

The gameplay is very smooth done with the dual onscreen sticks, one for movement the other for attack direction. This worked very well for the ranged class though I have not been able to try the melee class yet. I did have issues trying to use some of my special attacks as one of them has you tap the right stick 4 times to use and my fingers being as big as they are I ended up shooting the wrong direction, though this is a very small issue.

The graphics are very nice and clean and the sound is what you would think it would be in a game like this. Currently it is on sale for $0.99 so you can not really lose!

I am enjoying the game and plan to play it a whole lot more this weekend! I give it a 3 / 5 based on the fact that some of the special attack controls can be bothersome for people already fumbling this a dual stick control on their iPhone, iPod Touch.
