Bug fixes and performance improvements

Great game but needs control improvement

Super fun game, just what I was looking for, but the controls are difficult to use. Movement is up down left and right. But dragging your finger or thumb around doesn’t work, you basically have to constantly lift your thumb up and move it. It’s so hard to change direction. And the other controls for your weapon and up to three other items are small and close together. You often can’t switch between them without looking, and my thumb loses the sense of position so I constantly have to reset my hand. I trigger the wrong item. I trigger no item. Super annoying, especially when winning the game depends on being able to use these items in combination. It takes twice as long to get through a challenge because you can’t successfully use the controls. I hope this developer fixes it, and I hope they make more games! I will buy them.

Hours of fun!

I downloaded this game for a flight so that I wouldn’t get bored. I didn’t realize how long I would be playing! I didn’t find any glitches in my 3 hours that I had played on the flight, and it was pretty smooth gameplay. I would very much recommend if you enjoy adventure games like Zelda!

A really good Zelda-like game

I highly recommend this game with a retro feel. The best part is the exploration. For me the bosses are just the right amount difficult: some put up a really good fight but none got frustrating. There are glitches, but the game is very playable, and is well worth my time and money.

10 stars.

Perfect graphics for my taste and though I play jrpg mostly this is a retro rpg like Zelda that I love to play.

Great Zelda clone for IOS with trash controls

Yes, the controls are as bad as everyone says.

It’s a D pad. And it’s too big. There are no vibrations to tell where you on the D pad. Starting out - you’ll literally have to look down to see where your thumb is before you get it down. I’m a good ways in and I still take damage because Aruna won’t move out of the way in time.

Not gonna lie, I was regretting buying this game within about 3 minutes of starting. But that feeling passed fairly quickly.

But like everyone else has said - if you like the old school Zeldas - you’ll like this. It’s a very condensed, bite-sized, Zelda game.

I’m very conflicted on what to rate this. If I could, I think I’d probably rate it 3.5 stars.
