### 5/5 — The Best Game on the App Store, by far.

*2024-10-19*

Desta is a phenomenal game and a great introduction to roguelikes and tactical strategy. I mean, from the gameplay which is chess meets dodgeball, to the story- which… I won’t spoil- this game is phenomenal. To be honest- I didn’t think I would like it starting out- but Desta proved me wrong. I love the gameplay of roguelikes, but games like Hades are too bloody and edgy for my tastes. Unless you’ve sworn off gaming- try Desta. I promise you’ll at least enjoy the early levels, even if you don’t get too far into it.

### 5/5 — Another great Netflix rougelike

*2024-10-06*

I love this genre, and this platform always chooses the best publishers and devs!

### 1/5 — Crashes during intro scene

*2024-07-08*

Delta (Netflix version) crashes on iPad Pro during the opening intro scene.
Game not playable as it continues to crash after reopening.
Using latest version of the game as of 8 July 2024.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2024-07-02*

This game has a great story and gameplay. You find yourself going again and again trying new combinations of power ups and different characters and it never gets old.

### 5/5 — Yay!

*2024-05-26*

I’ve just started playing this game recently but the actual gameplay is super fun, the levels are just hard enough, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the story and queer representation!

### 2/5 — Fun but story is pain

*2024-05-18*

Game is fun but embarrassingly bad dialogue that can’t be skipped. Feels like old people trying too hard to be hip and cool. 

Like ‘my dad was a youth worker’ doesn’t get much more try hard/ fake socially conscious than that

### 5/5 — Just the right mix of challenge and delight

*2024-03-28*

The core gameplay feels like a series of tactics puzzles of increasing challenge. But it is wrapped up in a wonderful story with cool characters and art and great music.

Finished it in 7 or 8 hours (got stuck in a couple of levels) and then did a few of the challenge mode levels after finishing (which can get pretty hard).

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2024-03-24*

I love this game! It’s just the right amount of tricky. 
It’s super accessible for folks who are colourblind.
The characters are awesome, gameplay is smooth, and the art is gorgeous!!!
Definitely one of my favourite games at the minute!

### 5/5 — Fun, Lovely Sounds and Visuals

*2024-01-17*

I really enjoy this game. The characters are fun and I like the even mix of story telling and game play. A must download!

### 5/5 — Reminds me a lot of guildlings

*2023-12-11*

(Guildlings is my favourite game of all time)
