Expect The Unexpected is a turn-based roguelike adventure developed and published by GoldenGod Games that captures the spirit of unpredictability and chance through its very design. Set in the fantasy realm of Lorhaven, the game tasks players with retrieving twelve ancient Runes of Power to restore balance to a land teetering on the brink of chaos. Every decision, combat encounter, and random event is designed to challenge your foresight, making each playthrough a unique and sometimes punishing experience. True to its title, the game refuses to follow predictable patterns, ensuring that players must adapt constantly to shifting circumstances if they hope to survive. At its core, Expect The Unexpected blends traditional turn-based combat with procedural exploration and a strong emphasis on decision-making. Players begin by choosing one of several distinct classes, including Fighter, Archer, Wizard, Druid, and Necromancer—each offering its own progression path, skills, and playstyle. The variety of builds allows for vastly different approaches to combat and exploration. The Fighter thrives on brute strength and endurance, while the Wizard relies on magical prowess and resource manag…

I've had my eye on this game for a bit on my wishlist. It is a very deep fun game for $0.99 cents on sale and it is the best 99 cents I've ever spent for the amount of content in this game. It reminds me of the olden days of Zelda added with good Rpg elements & strategy and being able to play 5 different classes offers a fun experience. So far I have found at least in the early game the Warrior to be challenging and hard on the hardest difficulty level. It has many random events as your traveling along to make the game interesting along with random things you can find as your exploring. This is a solid Rogue Rpg Game/Strategy game and worth getting even at the full cost,but at 99 cents it is a bargin. I do plan on playing this game for some time. I hope they make some future games similar to this one and I saw their other fantasy game was from the same company I'll have to pick that up as well later.

I expected the unexpected and got what I expected, which was the unexpected. But I expected to expect the unexpected, which made it all expected, which was unexpected. Please get me out of this review.

7/10 Turn-based RPG in fantasy setting. TLDR: An interesting though a bit grindy TBS/RPG. Randomly generated combat maps and encounters will keep you busy for a while. There are 5 classes that play differently and warrant several replays. Though controls are uncomfortable and info/hints/highlights are lacking because the game was designed with mobile in mind. Also can't save different campaigns or reload. Good: - combat is generally interesting. Make sure to unlock abilities "good left eye" and "good right eye" in the bottom-right corner of the list of abilities to properly see stats of enemies. Btw not sure why those abilities are even there. The game should have just shown enemy stats by default! - a few dozen random encounters when you travel, and each time randomly generated maps - music is fantasy-themed and pleasant - you can equip armor of an enemy faction to be able to enter their city and take jobs, sell stuff and rest. It's a witty "cheat" if you don't want to grind their rep - 5 RPG "classes" (with 5 abilities/spells and 8 upgrades each) may warrant several replays. They play very differently as you level them up. Druid class can even modify terrain(!) So-so: - no ani…
