Исправьте пожалуйста авто играть не могу а хотелось бы купить и пройти. ### 4/5 — A gorgeous game with a lot of heart. *2023-04-26, version 1.0.4* I’ve maybe written 4 reviews for games or any app in general. However, the game only having a 1 star review (at the time of writing at least) just feels wrong. Yes, the controls might be a little different, but once you get used to then it’s not that bad. The graphics and visuals are decent. Definitely fits a style and it works well! Give the game a try, but don’t 1 star because the controls are a little funky at first. ### 4/5 — A promising game *2023-04-25, version 1.0.4* I have spent a few hours on the endless mode and try the first chapter. Here are some of my feelings. This game is promising, I see a shadow of Slay the Spire which I like. Also, the game has its own things which make the game to higher level. I like the explore mode, the medicine, assistance etc. Here are some things I don’t like. 1. The name of the graphic of the card is hard to remember. 2. The name need more optimization. I am using an iPhone 12 Pro Max which it turns hot quickly. 3. it is hard to pick the target you want to attack. 4. Sometimes the calculation of the the attack and defend especially adding a lot of buffs. I haven’t purchased the game yet, I want to see the improvements before buying it. This game is worth the money if you like this type of game. ### 3/5 — Frustrating control *2023-04-24, version 1.0.3* It may be a nice game, but I have found the navigation really frustrating. There’s no easy way to control the character and it’s hard to know where I can and can’t go ### 2/5 — Boring *2023-04-24, version 1.0.3* Meh ### 1/5 — :/ *2023-04-22, version 1.0.3* You need to stop advertising it as free , highly disappointing to have it pre ordered then find out I can’t play anything but the demo , there isn’t even a shown price. ### 3/5 — nb *2023-04-22, version 1.0.3* 还以为是免费的结果，他妈的后面要钱作者你真他妈牛逼，但这游戏是个好游戏。 ### 1/5 — Not full game *2023-04-21, version 1.0.3* This app is a demo for a full game. ### 1/5 — Dumb *2023-04-21, version 1.0.3* If I’m gonna have to pay 10 dollars to play this free game just make it 10 dollars in the App Store, no need to waste people’s time. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2023-04-21, version 1.0.3* This is a demo! The trick you into downloading only to ask you to purchase ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Biblically disturbing *2025-09-17, version 1.2.0* You become a witch with a ritual and are taken to the underworld to pledge to take on / in demons. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I quit. ### 1/5 — interesting & unstable *2025-04-06, version 1.2.0* Crashes all the time. Even after paying for it. ### 1/5 — Website says different *2024-10-13, version 1.2.0* Can literally buy the controller through you but yet now can’t even have the controller support stated??? That’s quite odd. Wouldn’t recommend game or site now. ### 1/5 — Can’t play full version *2023-11-23, version 1.1.0* I was trying to purchase the full version but I can’t. Hence the one star. ### 1/5 — Clunky and Boring *2023-05-04, version 1.0.5* The controls are absolutely terrible. The story is poorly written. The graphics are awful. Listen to this. In the story, the main character’s husband kills himself, but the narrator says he can’t remember why. Seems like kind of a big deal, since the rest of the story is based on her struggle to resurrect him. To control the character, you tap on the background, and she very slowly walks off in a random direction. The artwork looks like it was drawn by a child. I wish I could give this 0 stars. ### 1/5 — Pay wall *2023-04-30, version 1.0.4* As soon as you start up the game it asks if you want to pay to get through the pay wall to unlock 95% of the game. You get to play mech at all before you have to buy the full game and what you do get to play isn’t very fun at all. In the end just don’t get it. ### 1/5 — The controls are abysmal *2023-04-25, version 1.0.4* Just a few minutes in and the controls were driving me crazy. It might be a good game but I am over the bad controls. ### 1/5 — Shady devs *2023-04-23, version 1.0.3* If your game is free put it on the store as free, quit wasting your own consumers time with a paywall locking away the majority of your advertised game experience that conveniently isn’t mentioned before the download. ### 1/5 — Not even free. It’s paid *2023-04-23, version 1.0.3* I strongly dislike bait and switch games like this. This download itself is not for the full game it’s for a demo. What’s worse is I had to uninstall this twice: 1st time because of the demo. 2nd time because it found its way back onto my phone without me downloading it a 2nd time . Hard pass, do not download. ### 1/5 — Why *2023-04-22, version 1.0.3* Why is it ten dollars ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can’t get into the game *2024-12-25, version 1.2.0* I press play free version it loads and goes back to play free version the game will not load :( ### 5/5 — fantastic *2024-06-18, version 1.2.0* I was shocked that games have such a low rating because it’s amazing! The story and atmosphere are there! Gameplay and characters are fantastic! I truly love everything about this game! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2024-02-16, version 1.1.0* There’s a lot of bad reviews about the controls but I have barely had any trouble. Sure the path finding is not great sometimes but I never had any real trouble. The game itself is great. The combat mechanics can be confusing at first learning what everything does, but the story kept me going right along because it’s pretty great. I haven’t finished it quite yet, but I have put many hours into it. If you are into turn based combat and decision making RPGs this is a pretty great story so far ### 5/5 — This is a 4.5-5 star game! *2023-11-14* And it would have a much higher rating if it weren’t for the slew of 1 stars given by people who don’t understand the “Free Preview / Pay for Full Game” model, which is really baffling/sad to see how some people don’t understand this. Anyways, this game is great! Amazing vibe and atmosphere… extremely dark and spoopy which I love. Very nuanced and complex. Nice intro to an older culture, with its various customs and beliefs - so there’s a bit of a cultural history class going on as well. I was playing the free combat demo then felt compelled to dive into the full version and I’m so glad I did. I’m really just at the beginning, it’s an excellent game with a unique identity - looks very promising! PS thanks for the definitions to the obscure cultural terms, I’d be lost (and rather put off) without them. ### 5/5 — Free for endless mode *2023-04-28, version 1.0.4* Worth 5 stars already. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-04-26, version 1.0.4* I love this game it has a phenomenal story and concept. The controls are a bit touchy which can be a little annoying but otherwise a great game! ### 5/5 — Misleading Reviews *2023-04-24, version 1.0.3* Literally says in the description you get to play the prologue and then purchase the full version….. also says on the app page is clearly states it’s 9.99 for the full version under in-app purchases. Great game on pc, glad I can get it on mobile. Worth $10 ### 5/5 — Must have *2023-04-22, version 1.0.3* This game is absolutely fantastic. It explores and delves in Slavic mythology, culture and even dialects. The gameplay is engaging, it has elements of a detective, has a morals system and a deck building combat. The game revolves around the main character - Vasilisa - trying to save her beloved from the eternal damnation in hell, so it has a rich and dark storyline. I suggest you do every single side-quest as the story is really worth it. It also has multiple endings and an infinite deck builder battle mode, but I don’t see why wouldn’t someone just want to complete the storyline over and over again, it’s so exciting! ### 5/5 — Impeccable Vibes and Good Deckbuilding *2023-04-22, version 1.0.3* i’m a huge sucker for old-world magical realism and also do deckbuilders, and this ties them together so well. The story and characters are lovely and strange, and the game is perfect for the phone. Well worth the price of admission! ### 4/5 — AAA *2023-05-26, version 1.0.7* Game is amazing and is a must have! However there’s an issue with some controllers; Nintendo Pro controller and 8bitDo lite 2. Both having same issue only “start”, dpad and analogue stick works. a,b,c,x buttons doesn’t. Hopefully it’s a quick fix with update --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
