I love this game and wanted to start it over but can’t download it on my new phone. ### 5/5 — Please update the app!!!! *2018-11-20, version 1.0.8* I’ve always loved this game. I had an on and off relationship with Aurum Blade. It’s always been one of my favorite RPG, however, I can’t download the app. It says that the developer must update the app, and I beg, please update the app!! It’s been so long since I last played this game, and I miss it so much. PLEASE UPDATE!! ### 5/5 — Why is this still not updated *2018-11-03, version 1.0.8* It’s been a very long time and I still can’t play 😂 ### 5/5 — Great game: Update needed *2018-08-09, version 1.0.8* This game is so much fun. It is just one of those games where you could get hooked into playing it for hours. Unfortunately it has not been updated for ios 11. Hopefully this is patched soon; I would hate to see it just fade out like this... ### 5/5 — Update for IOS 11 *2018-07-30, version 1.0.8* I love this game and played it off and on for so long but now that I have iOS 11 I can no longer play it at all which makes me sad the game was very enjoyable please update for iOS 11 ### 5/5 — Please Update to work with the most recent iOS *2017-12-20, version 1.0.8* I’ve been playing this game off and on for at least 2 years now, I finally beat the final boss and unlocked the harder version of the game a month or two ago, but when I updated my iOS it started giving me a message saying the developer needs to update the game. Please fix this, I absolutely adore this game to the point where it has been on every smartphone I’ve ever owned. It’s got an okay story, but the gameplay has a classic feel to it, the quests are simple but fun, all the bosses feel original and present unique challenges. Overall it’s a great rpg for a phone and it’d be a shame to let it die off. ### 5/5 — Amazing game, killed by IOS11. *2017-10-10, version 1.0.8* As the title says, aurum blade is an amazing game. Maybe even my favorite mobile game of all time. The story is unique, the combat is simple but entertaining, and the mechanics are polished to perfection. It doesn’t work with IOS 11. Thanks apple. You ruined the best game on the store. ### 5/5 — Have it on my devices and had on my grandmother's phone and loved it *2017-09-11, version 1.0.8* Awesome game. But PLEASE update it so it will work with future iOS updates. I have played this game since my grandmother had an iphone 4. And i fell in love with it. But please update it for ios 11 and beyond ### 5/5 — Worth a play through. *2017-02-17, version 1.0.8* This game isn't too far out or bad in the same instance. It falls right in the middle; it's just right. The story is okay, doesn't seem well written though. The combat is pretty easy to use especially magic. ### 5/5 — Rpg-AurumBlade multiplayer is a must *2015-06-29, version 1.0.8* I have been playin this game for days on end for awhile now and I enjoy it more than Cod ghost Though I have one request can you add a multiplayer function ?? It would be nice to see other players in the world we play in ### 5/5 — Great past time *2015-04-21, version 1.0.8* This game is great to play cause its very addictive. I honestly like the action in this way more that SoL because Sol is very repetitive. This game tends to change and you have to change and evolve with it in order to stay with the entities in the tower and dungeons. It is a wonderful game and the inventory sharing between profiles is another amazing feature. This game is fun, captivating to play, and has some good strategic value like an RPG should. Another great classic for the books! ### 5/5 — It was fun!! *2014-12-12, version 1.0.8* But it's really hard to fight the boss.. But i think i can do it if i leveled up more , and do anyone know the title of the aurum blade battle song (ost) i've been finding for one and never found one ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2014-09-26, version 1.0.8* This game was not what I believed it to be. I expected it to be like any other anime but I was very wrong. The only thing against this game would be the diagonal movement, it can get a bit annoying but it's nothing you won't get used to used to. All in all....amzing game! ### 5/5 — Great game *2014-09-05, version 1.0.8* Expansive gameplay and items, movement could be a bit better but that's about the only problem ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Disappointed 😢😢😢 *2015-04-23, version 1.0.8* I got this game because of the ratings and I love rpg games. As soon as I started playing the game, I saw that the control pad gets stuck and is a little wonky in general. It is also hard to interact with things cause you have to get in the exact spot it wants you to. Since the pad is wonky, it is hard to hit enemies. Plus the story (to me) doesn't really make sense. This game had a lot of potential, but it's unplayable (for me at least). If you can handle the wonky pad controls, and how you have to go to a certain spot(which changes every time), this game will be great for you and you can probably enjoy the game. Overall I give this game a two star. P.S. If they update the game I will try it out again and give another review if they fix those problems .😉 ### 2/5 — My two cents *2013-05-25, version 1.0.8* Every RPG game I've found on here is exactly the same. You can obviously tell the game was made for a different language. The translation is absolutely terrible. I can't even tell what is going on. The story line is so poorly scripted. I haven't found a single RPG who's story line actually made sense. Ok I lied Heroes In Time was a good game but there was too much grinding. I just felt like this game is too repetitive. ### 2/5 — Alright *2013-05-16, version 1.0.8* I want to like this game, however, as a caster, attacks can only be done horizontally and vertically. This becomes very limiting and becomes more work as you try to jostle into position to attack with either spells, wand, or staff. Becomes frustrating when you see the enemy mages attacking diagonally. Seems heavy in IAP department. Game feels more like a catalyst to advertise another game, SOL. I already have SOL, which I love, so why keep advertising it every single time I open the game? ### 3/5 — Aurum Blade *2013-05-24, version 1.0.8* Good RPG. Have played the available characters, so it has some longevity. Major issue seems to be with my iPhone5 and autolock. More often than not, during Powerdungeon play, if the screen locks, when you unlock the screen, the app has crashed. ### 4/5 — Good game, but needs some more improvements. *2019-12-11, version 1.0.8* I can only play with it on my iPhone 4s, but not on my iPad Mini around its iOS 11 update, so if you please update it for me, let me know, okay? ### 4/5 — A amazing nostalgia app game I've played for years *2018-06-18, version 1.0.8* This game is very fun and addictive you just want to level up more and more and get very strong the story is very simple you allmost get killed by a powerful guy and then want to get stronger to her revenge on him witch isn't a very new plot but it's still cool and it's not perfect so I'm giving 4 stars ### 4/5 — Awkward controls *2015-10-18, version 1.0.8* The game is fun, but it throws me off because you can't move diagonally. The way the maps are designed, they make you want to move diagonally, and it really throws me off because I can't. ### 4/5 — Decent *2015-04-19, version 1.0.8* Had this game for a terribly long time, haven't played it enough to beat half of it though. Mechanics are ok, enemies are more or less sprite/palette swaps with more or less HP/attack power, lots of either grinding or epic boss attack avoiding skills. Good loot is always available due to the power dungeon usable once per day, and loot is transferable between saves so neato set items of the wrong class are never useless (other characters also work well as an extended inventory). Overall a decent game in the RPG genre, not IAP heavy like some out there, but there's better free RPGs than this one. (Not SoL, that one is way too grindy) ### 4/5 — RPG: Aurum Blade (What can u get?) *2014-11-22, version 1.0.8* This game was okay. It could have been better. To be honest, I deleted it sometimes and came back to it again (that doesn't mean that I say it's bad!!!!!!!!!) I just wish that it had a more "anime" feel like how it did to 'Sol' but it had the same "gameplay" as u would say (which was okay like quests and stuff, fighting bad guys) the graphics were top-notch, artwork, and everything about it. But I would still recommend it though to anybody who would want a good casual rpg. But I prefer stone of life, which reminds me of Zenonia a little bit. (Actually, I feel that all these "rpg's" originates from Zenonia" ### 4/5 — This an SOL are awesome but not the best *2013-12-10, version 1.0.8* I think that the only flaw I see in this game is that you can't move diagonally to attack which means u have to constantly tilt the controller up and left/right depending on the direction. Thankfully SOL corrects that but, I just think these types of RPGs don't offer much in terms of classes and replayability. This and SOL needs more classes like Assassin, Berserker, Knight etc. Yes I know SOL has Berserker and Knight class but I expect more options to play with more characters. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like this game *2024-02-26* So uh…this game actually doesn’t exist in the App Store anymore. I was wondering if the developers might be able to bring it make and maybe give it a fresh coat of paint. I really love this game and I wish I could still play it. ### 5/5 — I deeply miss this game, even over a decade later :( *2023-12-05* I still haven’t found another IOS based RPG quite like it even now. I know the hope of it coming to modern IOS is long extinguished, but even so, I wish we had a way to play it on even PC via emulation :( ### 5/5 — Wish it Came Back *2022-07-03, version 1.0.8* This was an amazing game that I spent hours playing years ago. I really would love to see this game come back. Best RPG I had at that time, and I keep checking to see if it comes back. Miss this game so much. Amazing pixelated style. Loved the weapons and skills. I actually liked the story of this game unlike so many games nowadays. ### 5/5 — Please update this game *2022-07-02, version 1.0.8* I still have this game on my 2009 iPad mini, it still works and I seriously want to play this on my iPhone XR. Please, I’m begging you please update this game! This game is absolutely awesome and is one of my absolute favorites. I still play it on my iPad mini when my iPad mini isn’t breaking down due to age, and I always have a blast with it. The gameplay is classic and the story is okay at best, but the settings, customization is amazing. Please update this, please! Please! Please! ### 5/5 — Bro please update to recent ios *2021-08-03, version 1.0.8* I remember playing this game roughly 5-6 years ago. Best rpg I ever had on my phone and I need it back. Please, I’m begging ### 5/5 — Update pls *2020-11-11, version 1.0.8* This was my favorite game growing up and I have been waiting for it to update so I can play it on my new phone. Edit: I’m still looking forward to being able to play this game on newer phones! So please get this app updated. ### 5/5 — A gold rpg game *2020-04-18, version 1.0.8* This game made my wifi-less and pc-less childhood better along with the game Inotia. I would reinstall it for the nostalgia but it doesn’t work on newer iOS. Hope they fix that. ### 5/5 — Please update *2020-01-14, version 1.0.8* I would pay to get this updated I loved it and never got to finish the game. ### 5/5 — Aurum Blade *2019-12-17, version 1.0.8* Wonderful game, excellent graphics and great story. I buy the game but it doesn’t work with iOS 13. Please update this. Thanks for the attention. Keep the good work. This game is really awesome but it doesn’t work with iOS 13. Please update this game for iOS 13. ### 5/5 — Great Game - Miss it *2019-04-17, version 1.0.8* This RPG has solid gameplay and an eh story. It's been fun to play but with no recent updates people have been unable to play it. If it was brought up to date and polished I feel as if it would do really well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
