Lanterna - The Exile (an IceBlink Engine RPG)
Story and Turn-based role playing game (RPG) implementing a classic old-school computer RPG style.
This is the second adventure module converted for the IceBlink Engine Android Version (The Raventhal was the first and is available on Google Play for FREE). If you are not sure if you will like this app, I would recommend that you download and try The Raventhal first to see if you like the game mechanics and overall concept.
Story, music and most artwork by slowdive_fan and Bree Arts
IceBlink Engine and port to Android by slowdive_fan (aka me)
Features:
- designed for phones, but scales well on tablets (I have a galaxy tab 3 8").
- low price, NO ads and NO in-app purchase stuff.
- turn-based combat similar in style to the SSI Gold Box games.
- great RPG story telling conversation system.
- single player RPG (you control all party members) game.
- multiple companions can join your party.
- talk with companions (see help button on character sheet screen) to learn more about them and the world of Lanterna.
- lots of replayability (is that a word?).
- three races, four classes and many spells to choose from.
- multiple saves available (save often).
- lots of items to find and wield.
- this is a short story (2-4 hours) so, yes, it is short. It's an intro to the Lanterna setting and will lead into the next adventure module in the series, Lanterna 2 which is much larger (10-15 hours).
Progress Reporting Feature:
A fun new way to share your play through experience with others. There is a toggle button on the main map screen labeled "PR" (bottom right toggle button). Pressing this button will turn Progress Reporting on and off. If you do not wish to share your play through experience, no problem, just turn off Progress Reporting. If you do wish to share, leave the "PR" button on. If Progress Reporting is on, then at a number of milestone events, it will send your party's current stats to our Google Analytics Dashboard. I will post the listings of Progress Reports to our forums (see our website link below) for others to share in the experience. No personally identifiable information is collected, just information about your party. The tag that will separate your Progress Report from others is your main PC's name. We are excited to see how others are enjoying our adventure stories so we hope you enjoy this new feature as well.
Lanterna - The Exile Adventure Module Description:
"Almost 272 years have passed since Elos led your people to this new world of Charn. Peace and growth reigned for many years, until recently. You have been taking care of your younger sister ever since your parents disappeared. You work at the docks, helping load and unload ships. The day seemed to be going fine until you were interrupted by Andy with a message from Dalin, the Chief Judge. Your sister has been abducted.
Your main quest is to find your sister and free her."
Lanterna - The Exile was originally Created by slowdive_fan (me) for Neverwinter Nights 1 (NWN), then NWN2, and then for the IceBlink Engine (IB). I ported the IB engine (original engine and toolset I created for the PC) to Android and converted The Raventhal and now Lanterna - The Exile adventure modules from the PC version to Android. The IceBlink Engine is inspired by some of my favorite cRPGs (many being old retro style RPGs) such as the SSI Gold Box Games, original Bard's Tale, Ultima, and the Infinity Engine games (like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale) and my 6+ years of experience with building adventure modules in Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2.

Left me wishing there was more... True classic that stays in the spirit of the old D&D staples like Bauldur's Gate and NWN.

Great old school style RPG. Reminds me of SSI Gold Box games. Short but worth a buck to play.

Short but sweet. A couple of the encounters are actually pretty clever. Nice, simple early D&D feel to the game system. I'm really looking forward to playing more modules.

While not as involved as some of the other titles this is a nice place to visit and has interesting characters to meet.This game is a very good way of getting into iceblink (it plays like a tutorial in a way). I believe that a problem it has though, is certain characters are not developed while others appear from nowhere and you're expected to know them. Also the ending has a problem with its flow. But a little bit of polish can make these fine ideas truly shine. Great job and thanks for all your efforts

Please keep making new stories. You can consider to lower miners saving throws and add health. So the stopping spells will be useful. Now it is easier to cast ice storm. Also it would be nice to have longer story with more spells and items! I also would like to subscribe for a mail notification for a new release!

I actually purchased parts 1 & 2 not because of the quality of the games (which I have no idea about) but the fact that the dev replies to complaints in the Google play store. It shows me that he or she actually cares and is willing to put in he effort to address those concerns. That alone is worth throwing a couple of dollars towards. Because that's the kind of behaviour you NEVER see from a lot of devs. It shows me at the very least there is that line of communication rather than some pat form letter.

Too short to be worth a dollar but I have really enjoyed this game along with the other 3 free ones. All together they are worth buying this one as a show of support.

I paid for this to support the developer, so no regrets(: ----- Why I didn't like it: The story script isn't made to work if the player performs any actions before he is supposed to, i.e. the dialogues and text-boxes doesn't make sense.

Only took me an hour or 2 to finish, and I was a bit confused by which of the devs games comes first, but the fame was. fun, a bit like Gurk. the combat needs to speed up and more content but the rest is good.

I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours playing that game. I would still play if I had time. This dev cut his teeth as a Major modder for NWN1 modules. Yep.

Well balanced quest that I enjoyed but was a bit underwhelming. You have one party member and limited gear. But it was well worth playing and I'll likely look for more.

It was a good story and fun to play but it was shorter than I expected. If I would have known that I I would only get a couple hours of play out of it I probably wouldn't have paid the $0.99.
