Kinda hard at first if you go straight for the main quest instead of leveling up in caves and stuff first. The main thing I hate is that all the enemies sound exactly the same. Gets old hearing the Sam sound when killing enemies. ### 3/5 — Improvements *2024-03-21* I hope the developer can increase the GUI and fonts in at least 50%. Everything is too small even to touch. ### 4/5 — Wieso beim iPad Pro 11“ kein Controller Support *2023-10-06* Auf meinem iPad Pro 11“ ist kein Controller Support ich kann das Spiel lediglich mit dem touch spielen schade eigentlich ich hab das Spiel damals auf meinem 12 Mini gespielt und seit ich das iPad besitze ist es eher meine „Konsole“ da ich im Store gesehen habe in der App „Game Controller“ steht es als supported dachte ich mega ein gutes spiel zum zocken und wie erwähnt nur mit touch Funktion hoffe das wird behoben ### 4/5 — Helmets!! *2023-03-11* I can’t see the helmets please change it!! ### 4/5 — It’s a good game *2022-07-10* When I was younger I left a bad review for this game, but now taking a second look at it, I think it’s not that bad. I still perfer the original, but this one has better graphics & the skills are a lot easier to use/look better during combat. Even though the story is definitely more bare bones than the original, & they didn’t add enough new skills imo, it’s still worth playing imo. ### 4/5 — Good but flawed *2020-11-25* It is a good game, with the exception of some bugs, and a rather lackluster story. This is basically Aralon 1.5 with armor and weps not being locked behind classes. A few things bugged me however, aside from well the bugs, why exactly is there no helms? Or at least visible helms? Why do all the character models for male players look like old men despite the fact that they are supposed to be teens? Why do the elven players have digitigrade legs in the menus? It is a fun little game to run around in however, so oh well I suppose ### 5/5 — Aralon *2020-03-22* Aralon 1 куда пропал верните ### 5/5 — Great Fun Game! *2019-03-30, version 2.0* I love RPGs, Aralon is a great mobile one! I played when it came out when I was a young kid and it was so much fun for me, so I downloaded it again now that I’m older and it’s still very fun! The campaign is interesting and fun! It’s not a really hard grind but it’s a fun amount! The game is worth the money, so is sword and shadow! I recommend this game to you! ### 4/5 — Good game *2018-09-04, version 2.0* Good game that has the potential to be a 5 star game. This aralon was so much quicker and less involved than its predecessor ### 4/5 — Jest Ok *2018-08-21, version 2.0* Dobra gra, na poczatku niezle wciaga, grafika na niezlym poziomie, sterowanie 10/10! Pod koniec lekko monotonna i nudnawa, ale dosc dobra pozycja. ### 5/5 — Why all the hate!! *2018-04-28, version 2.0* Written on: Saturday April 28, 2018 Seriously though, NOTHING is wrong with this game. This is a mobile sequel to the first Aralon which you all liked so what's different about this one?!? Really, It's the same game with just a vast improvement in graphics and as a bonus they put in full voice acting too. Yes, i suppose its not as graphically touched up considering the first one came out in 2010 5 years ago however, it's still miles better! I bought this game yesterday April 27 and it's really a top notch game compared to the first. The fact that people complained about the combat is absurd since the combat is the same in the first just with 3 more fighting animations...and looting is the same too! The fact that enemies no longer spawn back once you kill them makes it more like an RPG since now you have to really explore the environment to find them (oh, wait i forgot people are lazy) The length of the game is said to be 3 hrs and while it's not the longest game in the world( the first one was the same length or shorter) it provides as much as it needs to!( oh wait, people are lazy to explore and expect a game to be very long) I personally don't find a problem with this since it can take me multiple days to complete a game!!! In conclusion, Almost everything is more improved upon in the sequel, from the combat and environments to the weather and animations...and even the menus and character objectives are much better organized...yet people still complain like babies!!!!!!!! Great job on the sequel!! ### 3/5 — Mfi support for iPhone, but not iPad? *2018-03-03* Sorely disappointed with NOT being able to use my Steel Series Nimbus controller on my 10.5” iPad Pro with this game. It didn’t work with my old iPad Air2 either however it works on the iPhone 6 Plus and 8 plus. Please add support for the controllers on iPad so I can change my rating. 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Brilliant!! *2018-01-21* I have bought and played all of Crescent Moon’s previous RPG games but this one has met all of my expectations! Whilst some of its predecessors were plagued with technical problems or lack of depth, Aralon 2 has run faultlessly and the overall gameplay was excellent. As a long time RPG devoted, I do not give praise easily but in this case, I have no hesitation it praising this game and thoroughly recommend it to anybody who loves good graphics, smooth gameplay and absorbing context. Well done to the developers and please keep up the good work! ### 3/5 — Awesome but... *2017-10-18* Well, I really like the improvements to visuals over Aralon. But there is a lot more to be added and a huge amounts of bugs to sort out. Like, if the soldiers fall into the water, they should be able to die. They can live like mer-people, indefinitely under the water. Add a little more diversity to conversation. Add newer visuals, add blacksmiths that can make weapons out of items YOU chose and give and decide on what type it should come out as. And let their be a significant cost and the ability to succeed or fail. Add sockets to weapons and armors. And add the ability to see what helm out character is wearing. Add a title for the heroic deeds. Add multiplayer. Add better steering and movement physics for our pets and rides. Like, why does the character keep bouncing up and down in the dragon? Seems like the same sprite was used as is for the horse. Add more pets and rides. So much to do, no? But this game is still epic in its own regard. I highly recommend getting it as it is. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Разочарование *2020-09-14* Первая часть была намного лучше. Здесь как я вижу разработчики просто схалтурили. Сюжет никакой. Карта примитивно маленькая. В первой части хоть побегать можно было и вещи интересные найти. Здесь же вы этого не найдете. Даже конечные локации в этой части взяты из первой части. Большинство пещер вообще одинаковые. Игру не советую... ### 1/5 — Mfi doesn’t work please help!!!! *2020-04-25* I played the first game and I was really excited to play this one and everything I see online says it works with a controller And every other game on my iPad with mfi capability works with my Xbox controller except this one. It recognizes that there’s a controller hooked up but nothing works. I want to scream and cry cuz this game would be so good with a controller. Please help!!!Wondering what the deal is. Can’t find any help on any site ### 1/5 — Please add more things *2019-06-24, version 2.0* Look, you developers are amazing, but I think you’ve abandoned this game and the Aralon franchise as a whole. If you could at least add something new, even something simple as iPhone X support, I will give 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Плохая игра. *2019-01-28* Пустая трата денег. ### 1/5 — False Advertisement *2019-01-27, version 2.0* There is no mfi support for Aralon on Ipad devices. ### 1/5 — Rip offs create a real game dicks *2018-08-15, version 2.0* Don’t buy finished in just a few days very short ### 1/5 — Does not work with Gamevice *2017-08-22* Bought the game to use with my Gamevice. Does not work with it. ### 1/5 — Не советую *2017-05-29* Игра ни о чем.. зря потратил время и деньги ### 1/5 — Nicht wirklich gut *2017-03-12* Ziemlich lieblose lineare Story, grauenvolle deutsche Lokalisierung, kaum Nebenaufträge, nicht annähernd so gut wie der erste Teil. Der positive Aspekt ist, dass es auch auf älteren Geräten flüssig läuft. Ansonsten keine Empfehlung. ### 1/5 — Lazy *2017-02-15, version 2.0* Lazy plot. Similar to old one but I beat in like 3 hrs. Not worth 4.99 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Such a conflicting game. *2026-04-04* This thing is held together with duct tape. Make sure you save often because you will definitely fall through the floor at some point. The game is a bit too easy. The dungeons are severely lacking and their layouts are so small and boring — the key to the door you need is one skip over to the next room, almost always. What frustrates me about this game is that I DID enjoy myself, and there is a solid foundation here for a mobile RPG. Unfortunately they just didn’t do much with it, really. I’d love to see them flesh out something bigger using this engine. P.S. This game is LEAGUES above Ravensword. ### 5/5 — Pleeeeease make another game *2025-10-09* This was by far the best games I’ve ever played on a phone … like .. hands down amazing ### 5/5 — Klassisches RPG mit Herz *2024-11-26* Ich finds geil. Leider nicht so ganz für aktuelle Geräte optimiert, aber trotzdem spielbar. ### 5/5 — I’m a fan of crescent moon games *2024-11-14* I haven’t played this yet but downloading it now. I’m a fan of crescent moon because they give you a game for a set price and you get it all, keep making games please ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2024-05-18* They don't make em like this anymore... 'nuff said. Its worth playing. Traditional open-world, 3D, RPG. Stats & class based. I shed a tear (figuratively,) as I reminisce on how videogames will never be the same as they once were. ### 5/5 — Good and there is some advice *2023-01-19* First, can you make a full screen support? The game can not fix my 13 pro max' s screen. Second, if there’re some extra bosses like the fire dragon in sword and shadow, I wouldn’t feel bored after running through the main story. Third, will you update this game and make it on arcade? It looks like the pocket mini verson of world of warcraft, or elder scrolls, or zelda breath of the wild. I really have fun with the exploration. I enjoy the epic background music. But it also looks like a semi-finished product and there are some bugs. Thought this game isn' t perfect, I love it. Maybe the next aralon can be the remake of sword and shadow? And the new one will be made with new unreal engine, and on arcade? ### 5/5 — Loved the first one, trying the second. *2022-12-18* Great game, just getting into it ### 5/5 — Add misson *2021-04-20, version 2.0* It’s very a good game i love it!! But add more missions to do :) ### 5/5 — Solid Game *2020-07-03* If you liked Aralon: Sword and Shadow, you will enjoy this installment as well. Not much in terms of gameplay changed, besides a few small things like fireplaces to cook food at or whatnot. The graphics are better, and the skilltrees for each class are still pretty great. The stody starts off much worse than sword and shadow, but picks up a bit halfway through and ultimately is a lot less cliche than the 1st game’s: “Get these items to defeat evil demon guy.” The amount of gameplay in this for an iphone is astounding honestly, and it is a good amount of fun. There are tons of sidequests, a simple law system, and some other cool world stuff like in the first game. Overall, the game is a very small improvement from the first game, but it is at least new content and new places and enemies and things to discover. ### 5/5 — A true classic *2020-04-02* I had the first game (aralon sword and shadow) and even though I loved the first one more than this one, this is still an AMAZING game for being on mobile, an open world rpg with a world big enough for you to explore and do many things, this game truly gave me some good memories as a kid, well worth the purchase!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
