An original role-playing game, Tao’s Adventure is sure to enchant fans of the genre, as it takes players on a fantastical adventure with incredible battles, colorful graphics and spellbinding touch screen support.

Players take on the role of Tao, a young magic student living on Bente Island, who must travel on an incredible journey to save his family and fellow villagers from an evil monster curse that turns people into stone.
