Gurk III, the 8-bit RPG

Gurk 1&2 are great, and this game has been improved in every way. Controls, character progress, battles, magic, gameplay; all are better. Music (though good) is now mutable. The world feels more open than Gurk 2. The enemies seem to drop fewer items, but there are more shops. All in all, money well spent, and I'll buy the next one too.

This game is totally AWESOME! If I knew how good it would be when I bought it then I would have happily paid ten times more for it. Buy it now. There was at least 36 hours of fun, with great game balance and item development. The final battle is crazy :-) Thanks for the badge!

Highly recommended! First cellphone game that is actually worth my time! Game has gotten me through many long hours in waiting rooms at the hospital. Bought the first 2 Gurks but this one is the best. The music totally sounds like Sega Game Gear and somehow feels more retro than the other 2. Pick this up if you loved the Magic Candle Series on PC or Bloodstone back in the day or if you just like simple tactical retro RPGs!

Yay for Gurk. Yay again! I really missed the old ultima game and when I found gurk it was even better. Gurk I was okay but was missing a plot but then I got Gurk III and it was the best ever! You really did a good job with everything. From the feel of the controls and menu items, to the story line and challenges and the enormous size of all the different worlds. I felt like there was no end to explore. I'm ready for gurk II, I hope it comes soon. I really appreciate that there was no funny permissions to my phone and that you didn't try to sell me anything. I also love the price. Great bargain. Yay even more!

Unbelievably laggy! I know the graphics of this calibre might stutter now and end, but I'm surprised the N6P can't handle this game. Gurk I and II work fine.

I'm so disappointed. I've just completed Gurk II and loved it, so paid for Gurk III straight away. The lag sadly is so bad it actually prevents play.

I've enjoyed the series. Would like another or perhaps a "maker" app that allows me to make my own Gurk world. Dreaming, I suppose. Perhaps I'm just old (50) but I never noticed lag on my Samsung or LG.

I have been playing this series since the first Gurk, and i must say this third game of yours took a long time to complete the first time around and to this day still hasnt lost an ounce of its replay value. This is my third or fourth time beating this game and im having just as much fun time as i did with my first playthrough! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I only have one question, what soundtrack did you fellows use for the Edge World? The one with the cloaked man and a vast sea of stars. It has to be one of the most beautiful sounds ever made.

Played all three Gurk games now and loved them all. Genuinely a bit sad now I've completed this one. Refreshing to have a game you don't have in app purchases for to complete

Too laggy to play on Nexus 6P. It's a shame because it seems like it'd be a great game!

The traits of each individual character give replay value, which was the only thing lacking before. The Westernlands, giving you a whole other map to explore was exciting as well. I'd gladly play $3 for a Gurk 4!

One and two were great. This one is laggy. How can an 8bit game be laggy?

The story is great, but man, that laggy interface. It makes doing anything frustrating.

This is the offline RPG you want. It should be a 1million download app by now. Tell your friends about this app. It is a simple yet well done game. Nostalgic but has its own style. Perfect game to enjoy and you'll find yourself having a hard time putting it down.

Love the new interface all that crap. But am I the only one who remembers Gurk 1 being about 256kB? I'm amazed at how much its grown.

A bug where the green exis key doesn't show up after you smash the statue completely prevents playing the rest of the game. You Have to start all over. Encountered it the second time and I am giving up. It is also the laggiest app I have ever seen in my life.

Cant find a way to copy my save file from my old Android device to my new one. Will rate 5 stars if someone resolves my issue.

Played the first 2 and loved them. Was enjoying this one until the encounter with Kroga . Tried almost 20 times and still can't defeat him and his minions - they are WAY TOO HARD ... so my advancement is stuck. Sad ... would have liked to have finished this game.

If you liked Ultima II then you'll really like this game. very large worlds that just keeps going every time you th8nk you are near the end there's more. easy to play in short spurts.

Best rpg I've played on mobile, low price with no in app purchases. 8 hours in I feel like I'm just starting the game, solid rpg feel. Unfortunately when you clear a dungeon boss you have to get all the way back through the dungeon and wilderness back to town to heal, encountering monsters which usually kills you. Needs a teleport system. Also needs a way to revive downed characters after fights. Aside from that it's the best 2 dollars I've spent for my phone.

This harkens back to early Ultima games. Love it! Some devices play super laggy (Note 4) but others play just fine (Nexus 9)

I love this game and this series which is why I am so unhappy when it lags on either my S4 or my Nexus 6. I would be really happy if the devs can fix the lag.

This is a very fun game, and I was really excited for it. Then I started playing and everything I did lagged horribly. So much so that most of the time is hard to tell what exactly is going on. Please fix it. I really want to play this game to its full extent, but it's really difficult to play with lag.

The first two gurk games were great. This game lags so bad it's on the line of unplayable.

Okay, now it's third game and this is amazing. Almost every issues and frustrations about Gurk I and II has been fixed. Simply put, it keeps getting better 'n better. I just love this game and I'm having trouble to turn it off. There are some frustrations still, but who cares. This is must play game if you like old school RPG.

No other game or app comes close to Gurk. It is elegant in all its 8-bit glory! I believe less is more when it comes to video games and this game perfectly illustrates why that is true. It is simple yet challenging and creative. I just found "Author" and that pretty much made my whole day. I will destroy you, Author! (And no, I will not stop playing- ever. I expect Gurk IV!)

Loved Gurk 3 even more than 1 and 2 ! Amazing value for $2. Great replayability as well. For those who love RPGs and remember when gaming was simpler. Just the right balance of treasure/fighting/adventuring. Don't miss it ! OnePlus One, no lag that I noticed.

Love it, love the 2nd one, love the 1st one. Update the UI, or don't, and just make a 4th one. Screw the UI, just gimme more. Just add a buck to the cost on each sequel. People like me will keep giving you money until everyone on the dev team dies of drug overdoses. Keep up the kickass work.

I love this whole franchise! Gurk 1 is good, but simple. Gurk 2 runs much smoother; but all of them are worth the purchase.

It works again, just not on my really old Sony Xperia POS. Well, time for that new phone =^.^=

I've bought all three games and I've enjoyed them all. My opinion: I liked Gurk 3 more than Gurk 1 but I liked Gurk 2 more than 3. Gurk 3 has more replay value than Gurk 2 though. They are all fun games. Definitely worth $2 dollars!

The game's simple, still perfect. I've been playin it since the first one and will buy all the sequences. A MUST have!

Runs fine on xperia z3 compact. Takes a few seconds to load. Just as fun as the last two

better than the first 2 and still gives the good authentic nostalgia. could be 5 stars if they included cloud save and fixed the clunky interface and menu system. otherwise great.

Once you learn it this game plays really quickly and being able to save at any time makes it great for playing in short sessions

on android 4.2 controls not visible. Cannot play, developer does not respond.

A huge improvement on the first two. my only question is where to go after you get the badge of honor? I can't figure it out

Amazing game reminds me alot of ultima exodus. Wish there were more games like this on android market!

Game still broken!!! Even after Oct 2014 update. I loved Gurk II and would love to give this game five stars, but the game's buttons often disappear making it unplayable. So sad. Don't buy it!
