Phenomenal!
I was skeptical about mobile gaming, always have been. But this game is honestly my favorite. I’ve played a few mobile games but this by far is the first that I’ve ever written an actual review about. It all starts with Devolver making this game. I’ve been a huge fan of there’s and was pleasantly surprised to see their name on here. The gameplay is amazing and I genuinely think the combat goes so smoothly. It doesn’t hold your hand when you play, you’re just thrown out and told “go get em.” The music is actually fantastic and I listen to it regularly on streaming apps and such. Jim Guthrie did a great job mixing epic orchestras with synthwave. The story, while short, was enough to keep me engaged and really enjoy it. It told me who I was, what was going on, and what I had to do. The replay-ability of this game is wonderful too. I genuinely enjoy this game and will be keeping a lookout of games like it now!
If anyone is looking to play a fun, quick, yet difficult game, this is the one!

A great game, but…
I’ve beaten the game on all difficulties, and all the extras, but the stamina bar is just too small. It makes the combat feel a bit too clumsy. Also, the roll feels slow and as the only form of movement, feels extremely sluggish
only good Apple Arcade game
when you compare all the too kid friendly and p2w games in the Apple Arcade, this game stands out. this game is free to download, has no in app purchases, has no ads, and most importantly has actually decent controls and gameplay. There are no absurd difficulty spikes, but there are still hard parts, which makes it fun. The lore is a little bad, but who really cares about the lore?

I love this game
There is nothing to improve the gameplay. Personally I played it on my phone the challenge was great I loved the 8,Bit stile of graphics It’s just amazing in general
One of my all time favorites
Amazing game. Have gotten all achievements except collecting all items and beating the game without upgrading the attack stat. Stuck at 9-9… would be great if there could be a list of all items available verses whats been collected. Adding that tiny detail would make it perfect!
Great game need landscape play
Love the game, controls are great, but can be awkward when holding the phone in portrait. Would benefit from option of turning phone to play landscape .
4.5 stars

Want to beat the game?
Pay close attention to losing experience. Don’t just advance to the next screen. I definitely hit a wall midway through act 4 this way. (Hate fuel. LOL!) Go back and grind levels. You might even find ‘permanent’ upgrade items. When you finish a tough level with low health, drop down to an easier level and intentionally die so you can recover your health bar and regain experience with the next fight. Good luck!
Nice job, devs! (Any thoughts about character classes? I.E. - Cleric: lower damage, heal self…Wizard: High range damage, low armor…etc?)

Best Game Ever.
It’s not often I leave a review, but I felt the need to do so because this is one of the best apple arcade games I have ever played.
The controls are fantastic. Not too complex, but provides enough complexity in the game for a serious amount of fun.
As a sound engineer myself, I also think the sound design is absolutely incredible. Every hit, dodge, attack, feels incredible, and the monsters are terrifying, despite their pixel like nature.
Would recommend to anyone! 👏

Kinda illegal (figuratively)
I’m not saying the game is illegal I’m saying after the first campaign boss you could get to level 20-30 if you spend like an hour or two playing. You should make it so the ex goes down every time you replay a mission. so even if you play the game regularly and continue the campaign regularly you will be that level (20-30) in 3 campaign bosses. ALSO PLEASE IF YOU CAN ADD PVP OR A gamemode where fight a boss and level up your character . nothing against the love it so far. (used the glitch or intentional glitch)

Promising but very flawed.
While the gameplay, graphics and idea of the game are worth noting, the overall needs a lot of polish. The controls are loose at best with the monsters getting priority for their attacks and animations over the hero’s. The direction control is flawed and often non-responsive. The game will do its best to “cheat” to win with not respecting player controls like blocking and moving. (Please fix the blocking implementation as it’s wildly frustrating and seems to not work most of the time unless the user is perfect and I mean perfect with their timing.)
The inventory system was confusing and not covered in the tutorial or any of the documentation included with the game. That’s a huge oversight.
Finally, after one play through the sound no longer works and since a good portion of your gameplay largely rests on the inclusion of sound (a big problem with mobile games) this is a quick uninstall. I probably won’t return to this game as this seems rushed and incomplete. Sad. Wanted this to be better.
