Might is Right

And Magic is what then?

Tragic

History tells us that the games with that kind of aesthetics (Barkley 2, Octopus City Blues) are more likely to fail, but this looks cool :

Don't get your hopes up, game series was initially mobile and has clear JRPG inspiration.
That said it is not good from a JRPG standpoint, so maybe it suits your standards.

Dumbed down version for casual scum.

 

[JarlFrank]

This in the list yet?

 

[Darth Canoli]

I want to like it but something in the advertising screams mobile game.

Free to play version allows full game but limits character progression beyond level 4

No ads or annoying in-app purchases

In-app purchases, seems clear enough.

Also, only 8 classes and 35 different monsters.
I'm not asking for much but the art-style is terrible.

Last but not least:

Randomly generated worlds so you never know what to expect during your adventures

Well, you're certainly not expecting the best, that's for sure.

I find the artstyle to have an amateurish charm, but yeah.

Random generation is a crutch for devs too lazy or untalented to make handcrafted content.

 

[Darth Canoli]

Well, if the combat is good and they expand on classes and enemies, it might turn out alright.

I played a bit of Dungeon of Chaos a while ago, it's a kind of D&D Sandbox with some quests, dungeons and a huge world to explore.

The downside is randomly generated content, combat is alright but after a while, it's all the same because there is no encounter design.
Also, the world is huge but quite empty or even filled with randomly generated monsters and some dungeons to find, some cities too, but the handcrafted content is really drowned into the randomly generated one, you can walk for 10 minutes without finding any city and even when you find one, it's empty because yes, there is some story bits but everything is terribly wrapped together.

It's just sad.
