Cardinal Quest 2

Play it, I mean die in it, on Kong:

Epic. Very smooth-playing (takes you a few seconds to realise it's turn-based) old-schooly RPG. Achievements and progress (tallied upon death or defeat of the act's boss) give you points to unlock more classes and further options, but grind only gets you so far, as you need all your luck and tactics to survive the acts - character progress begins afresh on each run.

Very fun and engaging experience. Biggest complaint: Only three acts! But, it's free, so... play it and share your stories of dramatic close-calls and epic deaths!
