The game starts with you customizing a character to use within the game. The customization is decent considering it's the first iteration on the iPhone. You have quite a few different face models, clothing options and hair styles you can pick from. You can also modify your character’s race, eye and hair color. Once you have set up your character to be as aesthetically pleasing (or displeasing) as possible...

The Chronicles of Inotia: A Wanderer of Luone is everything you would expect from a Korean based developer that makes RPG's. It has anime based characters, horrible storylines, bad translations and Diablo-esque gameplay...

The console game is universally adored and I went into this review hoping for the same, almost expecting to be disappointed. Especially since EA Mobile's track record has been mediocre at best. So what did I find?
