8.0Stone Story RPG is a semi-idle incremental role-playing game with amazingly detailed ASCII graphics, a captivating story, lots of equipment to manage, and a strangely addictive gameplay loop.

About
Stone Story is an RPG set in a dark and ominous world. Monsters and mysteries plague the realm. Embark on a quest to unite 9 magic Soul Stones and restore the light.
The game takes elements from various genres and repackages them into a wholly unique experience. One of Stone Story's defining mechanics is that you have no direct control of the player character, as an A.I. does all the exploring, combat and looting. Though this is an auto-RPG, that doesn't mean it's an idle game. Potions and special abilities are maximized by good timing. Boss fights are intense, requiring quick item swaps if the boss changes patterns.
Your natural curiosity will be your greatest tool as you delve into the game and discover there's more beneath its deceptively simple surface.

- Hardcore Droid8.0Stone Story RPG offers a complete package of mesmerizing ASCII-art animation, as well as auto-RPG elements combined with combat and strategy gameplay that will make one easily get lost within the black-and-white world of adventure.
- Touch Arcade9.0I think Stone Story RPG is a game any fan of RPGs or mysterious adventures should give a bit of their time to. The presentation is very cool thanks to those ASCII graphics, and the soundtrack is almost as enchanting. It surprises in ways that some of my favorite games do, and it’s extremely clever in how it peels back its layers. You can play through the whole thing without paying a cent, and that’s a lot of quality entertainment for nothing.
- AppGet8.0滑らかに動きまくるアスキーアートに魅了される！巨大なボスキャラなども驚くほどアニメーションする！同じアイテムの合成で強化、別々のアイテムの合成で新アイテムを作り出していく合成システム！序盤から強敵なども登場し、武器の強化や攻略方法を考えていくのが楽しいレベルデザイン！いろいろなシステムが解放されると楽しくなるが、序盤にそれが伝わりにくいのが残念。
- Multiplayer.it7.5La grafica in ASCII è sicuramente l'elemento caratterizzante di Stone Story RPG, che lo erge sopra la massa definendone un'identità ben distinta. Tuttavia, è l'amalgama di diverse caratteristiche a renderlo un'esperienza bizzarra e peculiare, che ricorda da una parte la meccanica e lo spirito delle avventure survival dei primi tempi come The Forbidden Forest e dall'altra riprende il fascino delle vecchie avventure testuali, scomponendone i pezzi e ricomponendoli in costrutti grafici basati su caratteri e segni matematici.
