Really quaint feeling game with very pretty visuals! The rating seems unflattering but I'd recommend it to someone that wants a simple straightforward dungeon crawler type thing. I personally found it a bit too simplistic for my tastes.
It's always a treat though to have a type of game like this that isn't based in euro fantasy yet again.

The mechanics of Islands of the Caliph are simple but they come together to make an involved mid-sized RPG adventure. It was a lot of fun getting to know the lore of this world and use it to solve its obscure mysteries. The combat is simple but once I got the rhythms down, it was satisfying.
I had to deal with some glitches and developer undersight along the way but the developer was very responsive as they deal with development post launch. In the end, I had a good time with Islands of the Caliph and it was, in its low-key way, quite evocative!
