The Best Game on the App Store, by far.
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.

Another great Netflix rougelike
I love this genre, and this platform always chooses the best publishers and devs!

Amazing game
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.
Yay!
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!
Fun but story is pain
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

Just the right mix of challenge and delight
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).

Incredible
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!

Fun, Lovely Sounds and Visuals
I really enjoy this game. The characters are fun and I like the even mix of story telling and game play. A must download!
Reminds me a lot of guildlings
(Guildlings is my favourite game of all time)
Good gameplay, in all honesty.
Amazing work.
Idea for new game mode
Love the game!! The only thing is that although I live the nightmare and challenge levels/chapters, you can’t just play freely. For example, nightmare mode means you can’t lose health too much as your health won’t reset in the next round, and with the challenges, you don’t have control over who plays, or what Destas abilities are.
Whilst these are great modes/levels, I’d love to have an added play though like Challenge where you go through all the levels, but get to chose who to play with and what Destas abilities are.
Just an idea, but overall a great game!

Awful
The main character is a they/them, but it should be was/were. Awful voice acting and the Spanish translation is cancer inducing. Almost makes subscribing to Netflix feel like a crime.
Terrible UI
Throw the ball at the thing okay. Can’t aim, can’t play.
I enthusiastically recommend!
This is a lovely game in both style and story, and the mix of turn-based tactics and physics-based dodgeball throwing gameplay really engaged me (and it works very well on mobile). I managed to beat the game in my first run, but I wouldn’t call it too easy, given that it took many careful hours over multiple sittings. I’m also impressed by how much post-game content there is in the challenges and nightmare mode, and how hard they seem to be.
All this, plus the free-with-Netflix price tag, makes me want everyone considering the game to give it a try.

Please add controller support!
I want to play this on my Backbone One.
Thanks!
I love this game a lot & recommend it often. I do wish the UI was easier to navigate. It’s great that the Challenges auto-save, but not giving them a Restart button means you have to wait for the AI to kill your whole team every time you need to restart a level. In a mode that plays like a puzzle game, this is incredibly frustrating & disincentivizes experimenting.
I’ve beat the game and still don’t fully understand how character level ups and ability unlocks work. These usability moments are particularly annoying because of how smooth and intuitive the rest of the game is. Thanks for this gorgeous game!

Impactful
Impactful. Made me cry. It’s a shame it got such poor reviews by some. I almost didn’t play it. I was just searching for a monument valley 3 and I found this. It’s nice to be represented as a first generation black Caribbean woman.
Good game but…
It’s actually a pretty darn good game. Restarting is annoying but it adds to the replay-ability of the game. But I'm about halfway through, and just had to turn it off. It’s as if someone came up with a good idea for a turn-based strategy game, and just sat around and tried to think of a way to stuff politics and gender identity into it
