Outstanding
This and beyond a steel sky are the only two games justifying the Apple Arcade price tag so far. This game was really excellent, simple to pick up and put down, high stakes because of the item / xp loss system. Rewards skill rather than grinding. The combat system was awesome and one of the best i’ve seen for mobile, you should consider using it in a larger RPG - would suit that format really well. The art and styling worked really really well too. My only (sort of) complaint is that it was too short!

Just WOW
I don’t write a review in general. But this is a piece of art. I could not hope a better control scheme on a mobile souls-like game. Graphics may look simple. However they are amazing, you can feel the rage of the boss while you are trying to dodge it in heat. Thunder storms and blustery weather contribute to atmosphere a lot. And it is 3D! I was really start to getting sick of 2D souls-like games. Don’t miss this piece of art.

From the minds behind Enter and Exit the Gungeon comes another great game!
I’ve been playing this for a little while, so I can say with confidence that basically, this game is great! It’s not the scale of a West of Loathing or something, but it’s really fun with a Bluetooth controller! The art style is super simple, and mechanics are easy to grasp. I highly recommend this game!

Great Game, but I Have Suggestions.
I can’t say I was surprised that this was a great game. I saw it and thought it would be action packed and fun to play. I was right. The controls are simple and easy to master. They’re even better with a Bluetooth-connected controller, but if you don’t have one, that doesn’t ruin the experience. I played the game through on the Hard difficulty, often stopping to grind for exp. and items. I beat it, then went back through on the Bleak difficulty, in which I’m already a level thirty-something and I’m on world five. It’s not impossible to beat if you don’t grind, though. There are nine worlds, and ten levels in each.
There’s a neat storyline, but that’s where my suggestions come. I was impressed by gameplay and storyline, so I found myself longing for a twist or even more storyline. The beginning was great, but there was never a big twist or even more character development. This could be added in an update, I suppose, so I’m asking for one if it’s possible. I’ve always liked content updates and this game would do well with one. This is especially true because I wanted more levels. I beat the final boss and thought to myself, “Isn’t there more?”
I love this game, and that’s why I want more. I recommend this game to anyone who sees it.

A Lot if Fun!
Im really enjoying this one! Not to many games that aren’t in landscape mode and play either one handed or both. Having a blast with this one.
The only complaint I have is the automatic save. I actually made it into world two and upgraded my guy pretty well so fad. Just to come back later to it not saved at all and starting around level two of the first world.
Hopefully, thats a but fixed soon. I hope it doesn't happen again or to others because this is a great game.

Challenging but Fun Plz add Landscape mode for iPad
Just started playing but am really enjoying the challenge and risk. Has a heroic rpg element I like. unforgiving with deaths but challenges you to get good. A rarity for mobile games that try to make games as easy as possible. Give it a try if you like a good challenge. Apple this is the type of games you should be releasing!

Awesome game, 1 inconvenience
I really enjoyed it. I don’t think a game with precise controls and close timings would be doable on a phone, much less enjoyable, but I was pleasantly surprised. The only issue I found is that the credits replay every time you beat the boss. Especially if you’re trying to no hit win, or can get annoying. You could let us skip the credits after they’ve been viewed for the first time.

Simple yet Challenging
At first I was turned off by the simple gameplay.... 4 hours later I was still playing. A simple storyline leads you on the way as you slash through various enemies, with only 2 attacks, block, and move, bleak sword is easy to learn, hard to master, and you’ll get sucked into it. Make more levels and a new storyline!

If you like dark souls, you will like this
It has the right balance between difficulty and fun. You have to play focused all the time. The controls are very good. 3D pixel art graphics is kind of genius move for a mobile game like this.
Actually Amazing For Any Mobile Game
I’d actually like to see more from you guys with games like this.
It’s wonderful, it’s the Cuphead/Darksouls of mobile gaming. I find it funny someone gave this a one star because they got salty and didn’t know how to play the game- the internet is funny, dunno why the thought getting the game was a good idea in the first place. It’s MEANT to be challenging, and I like that.
This is literally my first apple review, and honestly, I’m glad I put it here. Practice makes perfect, and most of all, patience. 5/5
