17:41, 24th Aug 2014 Orcnet: Although the map is made for singleplayer, the game setting and dynamics were very strong and its views to the overall map is satisfying and very unique, I like the door stating out riddles (most of the riddles...

4/5.
This is just an amazing idea. Combine point and click games with RPG. Too bad it's so short and doesn't have any real puzzles.

-there were trees there outside, why not start cutting those?
-why does the empty bottle disappear after using the filled vial?
-what is gold good for and where are those goods the blacksmith wants?
-reviving after dying inside the castle might cause a roof crash outside
-could make the crystal holding pillars have 1 slot for their inventory

I just tried this. The second room inside the building gave me some bats to fight. One was spitting at me, seemingly in a spot my paladin couldn't melee it. Maybe it had a maximum range and I could have led it away, but instead I charged it, killed it, and got stuck. 'twas a promising but all too brief adventure :(

Please make more rooms, more mobs max level 15 perhaps. It feels kinda unrewarding not being able to fight a bit more with our maxed out character. Besidies that this is fantastic 9/10.
Thank you for this wonderful map!

Enjoyably simple. Forsaken Island is a great example of how Warcraft 3 can be utilized to tell a short yet compelling story through the adventure/RPG genre.

The map is best played with a 4:3 aspect ratio and with Classic graphics since it was created prior to Warcraft 3's official 16:9 support.

Minor bugs occur when you accidentally complete a task out of order, which can prevent the full completion of the map. That being said, I view this as a minor grievance given the nature and purpose of the map's creation.

I completed this map will all three characters and found it to be an enjoyable and unique experience with each. I give this map a 5/5 and felt that it reignited the passion and joy I felt around custom map creations when Warcraft 3 was still a new game.
