Without a doubt one of the best arcade games!

This game is fun, and challenging at the exact same time! Some games in arcade feel rushed and broken. But this is a breath of fresh air! It’s so weird how people think this is a bad game as this game can be endlessly re-playable if there was more content. That’s my only problem, the only problem is that there is not much content… but besides that, the game is amazing and people say the controls are not good. But for a mobile game this is pretty good! Totally recommended for all!

Loved it

Great game, I loved the music and the dark style. My favorite area is the burning city in act IV… any Dark Souls, Bloodbourne, or Alden Ring fans will love this game. My only complaint is very small — you can’t skip the credits after the first time beating it, which means it takes a while between tries at beating the final boss without taking damage. It would be great to see a sequel or update with different classes, more than two equipment slots, and of course be longer.

Arena is fun! If you added an endless option you could have upgrades and items drop randomly, and have the monster spawns and bosses also randomized and increase in amount the longer you stay alive. The original arena you could leave for rank and achievements. A++ for the game overall

No landscape support on iPad

Awkward to hold.

Fantastic

This game is great, it’s a shame that so many Arcade titles aren’t up to the level of this, mini motorways, card of darkness and horizon chase 2. That’s about all I’m keeping the subscription for at the moment

Very good Fun

Overall I really like playing this game it’s fun creative and has lots of different ways to surprise you this deserves an award amazing and outstanding gameplay.

Doesn’t support landscape mode on the iPad

I reactivated Apple Arcade just to try this game but sadly it doesn’t support landscape mode on the ipad. I dont think this game was developed with the bigger iPads in mind.

AN ACTUALLY GOOD GAME

This game is extremely fun and addicting with its arcade style gameplay, and I would strongly recommend to anyone who has plenty of spare time as in parts it can get quite difficult (but that’s part of the fun)

You can play with one hand

This game is challenging and the control scheme is awesome. I also love the atmosphere and feel of it. It is amazing how much the developers can convey with a few pixels. It feels like a much more graphically intense game. I also love that you can play it with one hand, since it makes the game a ton more accessible for disabled people. Thank you!

Bleak Sword Rules

This game is by far my favourite Apple Arcade game. I’ve tried a lot of games and stumbled across an absolute diamond in the rough. Pixelated perfection! I’m a dwarf fortress fan so this style of game is my jam. Keep em’ coming!

Every mission makes you want to punch your fists in the air

Brilliant art and interesting level design and i must say the music is very dark and gritty, what an apple arcade games music should be.
