No Dpad:
When most gamers think of Action RPGs, they think of legendary tales, epic quests, expansive environments, deep dungeons, dark caverns, towering mountains, mystic forests, colorful characters and wild creatures, mythic beasts and maniacal villains, fantastic weapons and powerful magics … Fastar! — Fight Angry Squares: The Action RPG! — has none of this. The game is an Action RPG in the sense that an action figure accessory is a legitimate firearm; it mimics the true form of the thing, but with little or no intention of living up to its inspiration.
Shh Mom! takes a close look at the new iPhone game, Fastar.
WOI: Action and Role-Playing in their purest, gleefulest form! Fastar! is the timeless tale of a boy with a big sword and a bowtie journeying across vast lands while being ambushed by malicious geometry. Wait, what, seriously? I'm not typing that, it doesn't make any sense. Oh, look what you made me do. I'll just start over. Fastar! is an Action RPG for when you just don't have time for an Action RPG.
DIYgamer: "If you’ve ever doubted there being something for every gamer on the App Store, you’re wrong. Are you a fan of action-RPGs or hack-’n'-slash games? Then let me ask you a question: Have you ever wanted to play one of these games while waiting for your friend to pick you up? Or perhaps for a class to start?..."
Isn't the whole point of games to be committed to them Having a game just do all the work for you is boring!
