Good potential
Yeah
Nice and Simple
Love the straightforwardness of the game and the gameplay. I wish there were more options but I know this is a new game and developer so I’m just excited for the future
Good concept; lacking execution
EDITED for brevity:
Love the roguelike, but there are some glaring issues.
1) The "unarmed" attack option needs to always be available.
2) Needs class descriptions.
3) Needs a " stats" page, including total equipment bonuses.
3-a) Equipment descriptions should expand when tapped on, but this does not mean you should remove the "expand all" button.
4) The game is far too short when it should be "endless."
5) Transaction nodes (store/offer/upgrade/restoration nodes) are almost always present in the first few tiles, usually making those particular ones detrimental to the run. <- This wouldn't be a problem if the game was "endless".
5-a) Restoration nodes should never be back-to-back, and should never be lacking both healing options.
6) Get rid of the hex-grid background image on the map. It only makes the connections harder to see.
7) "teleportation" nodes need clearer tooltips/descriptions.
8) Need to add the ability to backtrack to previous nodes.
9) Theives steal your gold but don't drop it when you kill them, which is outright nonsensical.
10) needs a "run away" mechanic that forces you to the next node.
11) The big boss is basically Goku, which borders on lazy and uncreative.
12) Mini-boss effects, such as preventing you from healing entirely, should be broken up into randomized individual effects, i.e. "prevents healing from [weapons/armor/accessories/potions]" instead of being a blanket effect. <- A boss should be incapable of preventing you from healing entirely, that is, until you get to the point where bosses have at least four "boss effects".

Cool, but won’t let me win
I’ve been through so many different runs in the game, but the only optimal build route seems to be getting a simple shiv and making sure you get add damage upon hit as a mage player. It feels really lame and silly to have to use a dagger instead of magic, but at the end when I finally got to the second to last node on the map, it was the shop every time I click on it. It crashes my game so I can’t even win the game.

Fun rougelike
Great gameplay loop, wish there was music
Thieves are kind of dumb mechanically
I don’t know if I’m missing something, but is there no way to get back the gold stolen by thieves? If I defeat them….shouldn’t that gold be added to each reward option?? They didn’t get away with the gold….because they were defeated. With the way damage happens at the same time it really sucks to lose all your gold to a thief

Super fun
Extremely fun and fairly simple game to jump into. Highly recommend
No sound?
I’m unsure why but I’m not getting any sound in the game. Bug?
Refreshing
Finally! A fun, well made game that is not just another ad farm or reskinned over monetized slop copy. Very refreshing and worth a tip to support this type of project becoming more mainstream. Bravo!
Neat game
Neat game, highly recommend. Only issue I saw was that if you used the blacksmith to improve damage after every attack on an infinite weapon, it becomes way too powerful
a breath of fresh air
in an app market full of gimmicky slop game it’s nice to see something that truly feels like an indie game made with love. the balancing is a bit rough but it’s fun!
Awesome
Really cool game plus I’m pretty sure the dragon slayer is a berserk reference and I love berserk 🙏🏻
Great Game
I wish that it was longer, and had more depth and items in it.
Fun but could use more oomph
Would definitely create some special class ability but also change the mechanic a little bit so I am not just searching for simple shiv + damage each hit every single run. Otherwise fun game and interested to see where it goes!
what?
is this even a game? all the reviews must be friends and family. uninstalled
YES!
I’ve been looking for my next mobile obsession and I finally found it! No ads. Simplicity at its finest. A Roguelike dream.
10/10, burn bright, burn out fast
I loved this game so much, my only complaint is that it feels short, and I’d adore if it was blessed with a optional endless mode
Great game!
It could definitely use some work, but will definitely play again
Damn
Okay, I randomly came across this game trying to find any free roguelikes I thought looked fun. As someone who heavily enjoys roguelites from enter the gungeon to Balatro, this was a really fun game to play. The art and animation in itself is already really clean giving the game a satisfying experience. The merchants and enhancers really give this game that roguelike effect, providing buffs and abilities to your weapons and armor, making beating enemies even more fun and satisfying. Ever bound has probably been one of the more enjoyable free games I’ve played on mobile and I was shocked to only see 11 other reviews. Hopefully more ppl find this game and get to have fun beating these monsters. The only issue I could think of was how short it was. At first I thought it was an endless rpg roguelite but the game ends after the 6th main boss. It would be cool to see more from this developer and what ever else they have to create. Thanks for the fun game 😋👍

Truest definition of a rogue like
Really a great game - on par with Slay the Spire. Couldn’t pull myself away from it. Looking forward to putting in endless hours.
Note to developer - I’d really love to see more weapons or even items/potions that are class specific.
