However, there is some stuff that should be worked on/prioritized: upgrade balancing, more storyline/endings, and making the final boss a tad bit harder(increasing up or smth bc I killed it in two seconds). Either way, nice game, cool idea, and I hope it gets continued! ### 4/5 — Worth atleast a full play through *2022-09-14, version 1.5.2* Enjoyed strolling through the stages but that I find is also it’s drawback,i found myself just running to the end of each stage if I had an o p weapon and just blasting through the rocks,cutscenes looked nice apart from the devil design is a bit dodgy looking even for pixel art,all in all a short fun twin stick shooter ### 5/5 — Speechless *2022-06-26, version 1.5.1* I am Speechless ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-06-12, version 1.5.1* Make more of the same please. I miss these little 8 bit games. Thank you for this one too. ### 5/5 — Probably one of the best games I’ve played *2022-06-08, version 1.5.1* Hands down one of the best games I’ve downloaded. Flashback to the days where you could download an awesome game, with no ads, and no pay2win. Only gripe is that the story is a little short. But that is to be expected as it was developed by a single person. 9.5/10 ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2022-05-13, version 1.5.1* This game is one of the best games I have seen on the App Store. It's fun, challenging, and has an amazing art style and animation. I really want to see more from this game and it's developer cause this is amazing ! ### 4/5 — 1 thing… *2022-05-11, version 1.5.1* Awesome game and developer. In my opinion it just needs to add controller support to bring it up to 5 stars :) ### 4/5 — Please add controller support *2022-05-08, version 1.5.0* Please let us use a controller with the game ### 5/5 — Hi Youngje! *2022-04-18, version 1.4.8* Love the new update! ### 4/5 — Controller Support? *2022-04-18, version 1.4.8* Fun game, would be 5/5 stars with controller support. ### 5/5 — Best Roguelike out there *2022-04-15, version 1.4.8* Basically just started playing and can confidently say that this is one of the best games I’ve played on mobile. Easy to understand, not too hard so far at least, and the mechanics are incredibly fun. All I can say is good stuff about this, love the meta progression, and I’m not even that deep into the game. ### 5/5 — Endless mode *2022-04-13, version 1.4.7* Great game over all, love the new updates. I wish there was an endless mode though. Where you could keep going ### 5/5 — Awesome Game : Responsive Developer(s) *2022-04-10, version 1.4.5* The game is refreshing, and feels very solid in comparison to other mobile games. The creator has even taken the time to respond to me about potential bugs. Can bring on a good challenge, relatively simple dungeon crawler / rogue style that has just enough going on to feel satisfying but also simple enough to play while on the go. The devs recently launched a major update which added a lot to the game and were responsive to feedback. They even launched a minor update to address player reported issues the same day. There is a certain collection of games that should be on every device, I am adding this to my list of solid games that aren’t in-app purchase trash pits. I give them 5 Stars for solid game play and good customer support. Keep up the great work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🖖 ### 4/5 — Good concept. Needs some tweaking *2022-04-10, version 1.4.5* The game has a really good concept but at some certain point in the game, there is an interesting scene when this game says +9. (Just a swear word but still). Also, the game updated and I can’t seem to get into story mode and I lost all my gold coins in arcade mode. Otherwise, pretty good game. ### 4/5 — Good but *2022-04-08, version 1.3.3v2* Very good game and I love the low pixel aspect of it but on mobile when I go to a different app leaving that one open but paused, and I go back onto the game it refreshes and I’ve lost all of my progress bc of that so many times, to fix that you should add allot more save points. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What? *2022-09-21, version 1.5.2* The game doesn’t even load, I literally cannot play ### 1/5 — This stinks *2022-05-13, version 1.5.1* Soul Knight did it 10x times better ### 1/5 — Huge accessibility issue! *2022-03-17, version 1.3.3v2* On my screen size I can’t read any of the tiny text and it has no font size option!! ### 2/5 — The game’s ok but has some problems *2022-12-24, version 1.5.4* It’s to repetitive and the flashing light on chapter 3 made me slowly go mad I see thing that aren’t there because this game ### 2/5 — Still needs some fixes *2022-03-11, version 1.3.3v2* After the update just now the language is in Korean and after every scene all levels and gears are gone ### 2/5 — Honestly disappointing *2022-03-05, version 1.3.3v2* I was enjoying the game. Game play was fun and story seemed interesting Some problems: I don’t like how at the start of each stage you rest back to 0 levels with no gear. Makes you feel like you aren’t making progress. The game also makes it very difficult to save your place or know when it’s possible to save your place The big issue: At one point the rebel leader has you make a choice between joining their cause or not. If you choose not to join the rebel leader kills you, you rest to 0 levels, no gear. Ok fine. Then it launches straight into a boss battle with satan. It is just not possible to complete the level with the defect gun and no food. I can’t see any way to go back and get some gear so I’m not sure what to do. ### 3/5 — So much potential! *2022-03-06, version 1.3.3v2* I enjoy this game a lot. However, there needs to be a better save and continue system. Picking up where I left off later left me with almost none of the things/weapons I had gathered and very far away from where I had to set the game down. Don’t get me wrong, this game is great, it’s just hard to want to put in the time when you know you won’t be able to continue properly. ### 3/5 — 6/10 *2022-02-28, version 1.2.3v2* This game is pretty odd. If you don’t care about story in games, the gameplay itself is pretty good. The fights are a little repetitive, but other than that, I like it. But there should be an option to make the movement and shooting buttons larger, I keep having my thumbs slide out of the circle and I get hit by enemies. Also, the Lucifer boss fight is ridiculous with only a pistol given to you. ### 4/5 — Needs dynamic joysticks *2022-12-15, version 1.5.4* Joysticks are in terrible position ### 4/5 — Maybe controller compatibility *2022-10-07, version 1.5.2* I like the game it just seem more fun to be playing using a controller ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great work *2025-12-11, version 1.5.7* Better than most games of this type on App Store, with an interesting story too ### 5/5 — Real *2025-05-01, version 1.5.7* Real game no scam ### 5/5 — update *2025-01-19, version 1.5.7* Please fix wont run for iphone 6 ### 5/5 — Hi *2024-05-29, version 1.5.7* Amazing game!I love the lightning,animation and story mode!i normally play on challenger mode too.it would be cool if there was an arena or something where you could fight bosses too!other than that,this game is perfect and I play it a lot! ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-10-14, version 1.5.7* My wife divorced me ### 5/5 — Sup *2023-05-29, version 1.5.7* Incredible game, I feel like the climax of the story was a little lackluster but overall it was impressive. I loved the variety in weapons and enemies. Maybe next time just make the final boss a bit more difficult or give more background to the boss. ### 5/5 — Very Well Made - Yet Lacking in Content *2022-10-19, version 1.5.2* This game is fantastic. It plays very comfortably and has good guy play and skill system, I like the way the rooms function in each level. Everything about this game is expertly crafted, however I wish there was more. It’s a very shirt game, only a couple hours at most. The story is pretty shallow but I’d love to see a second game from these developers, they have a lot of skill with making games. ### 5/5 — A Masterpiece *2022-10-12, version 1.5.2* Although a short game (obvious since it was created by a single developer), game was an absolute masterpiece. I loved the storyline, graphics, UI, and everything with it. ### 5/5 — A genuinely good game *2022-07-11, version 1.5.1* I’ve been playing for about an hour, but so far I’m really loving it. ### 5/5 — 10/10 game *2022-07-07, version 1.5.1* For free as well, thanks to the developers. I’m having a blast --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
