Tales of Illyria #1 Android Hidden Gem
Tales of Illyria is honored as the !#1 Android Hidden Gem by Hardcore Droid!
Headed up by designer Chad Mannicia, Little Killerz has developed an indie RPG series for the ages with the Illyria games. While they play in part like immersive survival titles, they also hit all of the RPG sweet spots. Each of the three feature engaging combat, skill and loot systems, rich world-building and interesting stories, with all of it playing out within the framework of managing randomized engagements, as your party travels the open roads of Illyria. It’s a great indie title by any measure and far and away one of the most innovative and compelling RPGs you can play on mobile.

Hardcore Droid Names Destinies as the #1 RPG of Q3 2015
Editor Al Jackson had this to say about Tales of Illyria Destinies:
We became a fan of indie developers Little Killerz when we first played Tales of Illyria: Fallen Knight. Last year’s release of the sequel, Tales of Illyria II: Beyond the Iron Wall further cemented the high regard we have for them. With this year’s release of Illyria: Destinies we have become convinced that Chad Mannicia and his superb team can do no wrong.
The recently released Illyria: Destinies kept all the things that made the first two Illyria games great: a high fantasy adventure played out via an Oregon Trail travel mechanic fueled by a ton of smart randomly generated encounters. Woven into this mix are excellent combat and loot systems and a compelling overarching story.
Now, with Destinies, which is ostensibly Tales of Illyria 3, Little Killerz has decided to push the envelope further than they ever have before. Not only is Destinies larger and more comprehensive than the previous Illyria titles, but, the lands of Illyria are for the first time an open world. You create your character from scratch, set out on your adventure and do whatever and go wherever you want as you engage in the game’s central missions in whatever order floats you boat. The end result of these changes is that Little Killerz has considerably improved an already superb gaming experience. A superior mobile RPG by any measure,Illyria: Destinies is quite easily the Best Android RPG of 2015.
