### 3/5 — Cloud saving doesn’t work

*2026-07-11, version 1.0.6*

See title

### 3/5 — iPad or pc only

*2025-10-13, version 1.0.2*

Probably a great game, but font is just too small on iPhone to play comfortably.

### 3/5 — Can’t select target

*2025-09-30, version 1.0.2*

As the title says. It is really annoying

### 3/5 — Too bugged to enjoy

*2025-04-08, version 1.0.1*

I really really want to like this game as loved it on PC. However in its current state it is too broken to enjoy. As soon as it came out you couldn’t purchase the full game as it was bugged. After a few days they fixed that so I happily purchased it. Playing through the game is fun but it is not optimised to IOS at all and there are more bugs littered everywhere. I downloaded the update this morning and now it says I have to purchase the game again as the restore button doesn’t work. Overall an extremely disappointing port of a great game.

### 4/5 — Rough cut gem?

*2025-04-04, version 1.0.1*

I think this has a lot of potential but the “hit boxes” for selecting stuff is just odd. 

I’d like to have a bit more of a crunchy tutorial

If the UI worked well this would be an absolute classic. I’m giving 4stars for the potential.

### 3/5 — Lost character levels

*2025-04-01*

I absolutely enjoy this game. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is because after reaching level 5 with my characters, they all reset to level 1. Other than this, the game is wonderful.

### 1/5 — Unlock doesn’t work

*2026-02-06, version 1.0.2*

Purchased the Full Unlock but it didn’t unlock the content. Acknowledges the purchase, won’t let you purchase a second time, but still no dice.

### 1/5 — Restore purchase remains broken.

*2026-02-05, version 1.0.2*

Paid for the game, stuck with trial version. Restore purchase is once again broken. Don’t waste your money on this scam.

### 1/5 — Post campaign game breaking bugs

*2025-09-03, version 1.0.2*

Overall it’s a fun game.  However there are game breaking bugs that will make your saved game corrupt and unplayable.  This has occurred 3 times after finishing the story campaign.  After it occurs you can no longer access your saved game.

### 1/5 — Такая х…..та

*2025-07-10, version 1.0.2*

Кто это сделал вы сами то в эту шляпу играете ? Игра максимально неудобная и не понятная интуитивно в нее не поиграть все настроено глуповат не подсказок не обучения ничего просто треш какой-то . Максимальное говнищеее

### 1/5 — Paid in full

*2025-04-07*

Paid for full game unlock but did not get it

### 1/5 — Lost my full game unlock

*2025-04-06*

Wasted 6 dollars, seems every other update something like this happens

**Developer response:** Hi, we apologise for the inconvenience. This bug has been fixed and you should be able to restore your purchase. If there is still any issue please contact us at info@aethersky.com and we can help.

### 1/5 — Broken and buggy

*2025-04-03, version 1.0.1*

After the latest update the game no longer recognizes that I payed for the full game unlock. Not to mention all of the other game breaking bugs. If this doesn’t get sorted out soon I’ll be asking for a refund.

### 1/5 — Buggy mess

*2025-04-01, version 1.0*

Autosave without backups means that if you hit a game breaking bug, your entire campaign is dead. 

Game breaking bug: swapping leaders in your party reverts the characters to level 1 and immediately saves. Spent 20 hours levelling them?  Hope you like restarting.

### 2/5 — Lost character levels

*2025-04-03*

2nd edit: Bug appears to be fixed but had to purchase to unlock the full game again! 
Edit: Still no response. 

I absolutely enjoy this game. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is because after reaching level 5 with my characters, they all reset to level 1. Other than this, the game is wonderful.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We've patched the game which should have fixed this issue, please give it a try and consider changing your review.

### 2/5 — Probably a good game but way too annoying to play on a phone

*2025-03-31, version 1.0*

I’ve heard good things about this game so I downloaded it as soon as it was re-released, only to be baffled by the lack of thought the devs had when they ported it to mobile. The UI is small, not responsive or straight up doesn’t work in certain situations.
I simply cannot recommend this game in the state it’s currently in. I will try to follow the updates in case the UI issues are solved and hopefully buy the full game when it’s playable.

### 5/5 — The greatest card game variant

*2026-04-22, version 1.0.5*

In this game, reading and strategy are both rewarded handsomely. This game may consume time, but that’s part of the story. Every run regardless of where you lose feels, unique, and honestly this is the most fun Ive had learning a video game ever. Thank you devs

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2025-09-13, version 1.0.2*

Bought the upgrade after about 1 minute into the trial, truly great. 

So refreshing to get excellent gameplay, engaging story, & great art, with just a 1-time upgrade price that’s less expensive than many games’ season pass. Solid, strategic gameplay, ability to create fun builds, and interesting loot, with lots of replayability. 

Love the approach to Skill Trees!

This is a 100% buy if you’re looking for fun, deep gameplay and are tired of predatory loot boxes, micro transactions, and season passes. 

Excellent work devs, will definitely keep an eye out for more projects from you!

### 5/5 — Fun game, skill grid bug is ruining this for me

*2025-08-25, version 1.0.2*

Game is great, BUT skill grid leveling won’t let me go to the next grid. Not sure what the fix is, any suggestions would be great.

### 5/5 — Must-have for RPG fans!

*2025-07-17, version 1.0.2*

Great game, have it on steam deck but the touchscreen controls work so much better on iPad.

Highly recommend this game for anyone who fancies a combination of slay the spire and a traditional turn-based RPG with an overworld.

### 5/5 — Edit…

*2025-04-10, version 1.0.2*

New update restored my purchase. All is well.

### 5/5 — Lost character levels

*2025-04-09, version 1.0.1*

3rd edit: Bug appears to have been fixed with the update. Contacted apple support and received a refund for my first purchase of this game since it also charged me to unlock it the second time. Very enjoyable game. Having a lot of fun. 

2nd edit: Bug appears to be fixed but had to purchase to unlock the full game again! 
Edit: Still no response. 

I absolutely enjoy this game. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is because after reaching level 5 with my characters, they all reset to level 1. Other than this, the game is wonderful.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2025-04-07, version 1.0.1*

Loved this on steam previously, great to have it now on iPad!

Games like this were meant for touchscreen play.

The development team are also very active which is refreshing to see, highly recommend this game!

### 4/5 — Fun Adventure Time Loop

*2026-07-07, version 1.0.6*

This is a very fun game and easy to get into with most mechanics being pretty quickly understandable if you’re familiar with RPG/tactics games. The more detailed information is available if you look for it. 
Cant recommend if you’re playing on a phone. Needs a bigger screen. I also don’t expect to ever actually finish the campaign, because of the hidden mechanic where it randomly reverts your save file to a week prior losing all progress made for no apparent reason.  There is no separate save data to go through that I’ve found. Wherever it loads you in is where you’re at.

### 4/5 — Не видна покупка игры без интернета

*2025-05-22, version 1.0.2*

Почему без интернета игра не видит, что она куплена

### 4/5 — Lost my full game unlock

*2025-04-14, version 1.0.2*

Wasted 6 dollars, seems every other update something like this happens

Update: looks like it’s been restored but not interested in playing the game anymore after 2-3 issues within the first week
