“...the game is an absolute blast to play! There are fun characters, a great sense of adventure, and a story that drags you in and keeps you playing! Definitely worth checking out.” -Michael Anderson on Gear Diary
“I couldn't wait any longer. It's an amazing game.” -skavenhorde
“I pre-ordered yesterday after seeing this vid, and my Level 8 character is currently hacking monsters to bits with my trusty Hoe of Doom. For a game that is supposedly in alpha, it’s extremely polished. I’m impressed. It’s been great fun so far, and I highly recommend it.” -KilgoreTrout_XL
“AWESOME = My description” -reaver894
“Started playing, and I really liked it. Nicely done, the dialogues are not too long, the story is interesting and there are quite a few things I missed the first time playing it, just because I was too hasty. (and you did read a lot of terry pratchett books imho… )” -manu
“I freakin’ love this topdown camera style. Reminds me of 90s titles like Blood Omen. Sniff.” -BathroomCitizen
“Just bought the game and finished, let me just say I loved it.” -figalot
“This looks great. I actually quite like the top-down perspective – the graphics style is strong and clear, and I think the perspective will make interacting with mouse much easier. No need to rotate the camera to select obscured objects.” -peanut
“The quests/puzzles are fun, plenty to explore and find…” -Ash360
“Driftmoon has intelligent and complex Gameplay-Mechanisms. But above all it has Atmosphere.” -zappaghost
“Driftmoon is a very cool game and it reminds me of a little bit of Baldur's Gate 2.” -Death Knight
