The guide is small and covers the main story of this game well though it did leave me feeling a bit to be diesired in depth (but so did the game itself). Decent pictures and writing, its just very short.

Procuct arrived quickly, in great shape, with no issues, I'm very pleased; order process went exactly as imagined. Product was very helpful, and greatly increased my enjoyment of game play.

Don't get me wrong - I loved Troika, and I play lots of D&D games, so I'm pretty surprised to be giving such a low rating. The game is very ambitious, but the flexibility of choice isn't matched by the programming of the game.

The two most glaring problems are the dialog options and the turn-based combat. The dialog options don't follow a set structure (that is, the "exit dialog" conversation might be any one of the options; typically it would be the last). As for the combat, there is no way to see melee or ranged dice rolls, so it is difficult to tell what is happening in combat.

Even the most hardcore D&D/Gary Gygax fan will find this a bit slow moving and boring, except when he is forced to reload over and over.
