Fantastic but be ready to be frustrated.
I downloaded this just because it looked quite interesting. It definitely is, but I just had to delete it because it made me extremely frustrated. I get that a lot of people will like this but it’s not worth the stress for me. I’m a 30 year old male and I need as little stress as I can get. If you like stuff like Dark Souls, give this a go, but I couldn’t get past the first world. It starts off easy, yeah, but the controls are kinda awkward and it makes me feel like I mess up a lot whenever I shouldn’t. The difficulty spikes around level 1-8 so get ready. I couldn’t beat the first boss at 1-10 and I just gave up. Maybe one day I’ll try this again. It’s a gorgeous game.
Side note: Apple Arcade is genius.

Responsive and Rewarding
It’s a tough game but it’s responsive enough for you to be able to see even the smallest of subtleties in your technique. Looks wonderful, plays wonderful. Unfortunately I can’t explore the rest of Apple Arcade because I can’t stop playing this game!!!
Incomparable
This is arguably one of the best, if not THE best, iPhone game I’ve experienced. It’s easy to pick up, difficult to master, and a ton of fun. It’s punishing in the best possible way and rewards skilled play in a motivating way. I love this kind of art style too because it leaves so much to the imagination while still creating the perfect atmosphere. I am looking forward to playing more games by this developer!

Brilliantly addictive
Very simple gameplay, but very very well done. Each level is a mini challenge, just hard enough to be tricky but not too hard.
Amazing mini souls like
10/10 for incredible control mechanisms, great aesthetics and amazing soundscapes.
Tapper meet Rogue
Simplistic games are a personal favorite of mine when it comes to mobile gaming. Challenging simple games are hard to come by but Bleak Sword does it perfectly. Very easy to learn controls make trying to puzzle out the timing of the enemies a fun challenge. And the permanent health and choices of the campaign make for an excellent Rogue like experience. This game manages to be highly addictive and also something you can play for just a few seconds making it the perfect flavor of mobile game to me.

Superb game
Everything from the art style to the gameplay just flows perfectly. It’s a game that’s designed from the ground up for mobile, and it just feels incredible to play. Unique through and through.
I really hope Apple Arcade keeps bringing us games like this. It’s such a breath of fresh air compared to the usual types of games on mobile.
