This is a great book. It is a very well laid-out book coming in at 141 pages, with colour pictures throughout. At first I thought it might be a D&D retro-clone/OSR but I'd say it borrows many elements from 3.5e and 5e, yet keeping the simplicity of earlier versions.

It has 4 basic races; the human, elf, and dwarf you might expect, however the kobold rounds out the list, which may be an odd departure from the usual halfling race. Apart from that, the racial modifiers/abilities are pretty much what you'd expect.

The game has the basic 4 classes; Cleric, Fighter, Rogue and Wizard. The details for each class are based upon choosing talents (akin to feats in other versions). Even the wizard and cleric's spells are listed as talents (instead of a list of spells). This is very much like Dungeon World. While the list is limited (around 8-10 options for the Fighter or Rogue, and around 15-20 for the cleric and wizard), it definately gives you the customization you'd expect in later versions of D&D.

The game is limted to level-5 characters, and I'm really interested to see more options if later additions come out for this game.

The game has a detailed skill list (but not too large) and rules for crafting. It has a fair selection of equipment, and a streamlined set of combat rules you'd expect (there are no rules for Attacks of Opportunity, disengaging the enemy, etc, so it can easily be played in the Theater of your mind). Combat is slightly different in that it uses Armor for both the target number to hit (e.g. AC) as well as damage reduction (DR). Characters have both Wound Points (e.g. HPs) and Vitality Points (VP) which seems to be a way of recovering a portion of health between combats (which I like better than later D&D's version's "healing surges").

There is a small DM section, as well as a well put together list of monsters (about 25 of them), and magic items.

Overall this is an excellent value for your money. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do next (levels 6+).
