### 4/5 — 75% awesome, but I won’t finish it

*2026-08-23, version 1.2.5*

Basically a 2D “jump game” - Super Mario with a sword - still a great one. Not worth finishing. The last Easter eggs would take hours to collect for little payoff, and grinding to level up makes no difference. It’s all just variations on the same theme. “Okay, but this time the platform MOVES! Can you still make it?” - that sort of thing. Still, it’s not a kiddie slot machine, and my kiddies loved it. It saved a few dull/delayed plane rides for me.

### 5/5 — Top

Muito bem feito. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores!

### 5/5 — Мнение

*2026-02-14*

Есть сюжет, игра интересная

### 5/5 — Präzise Controller Steuerung + Cooles Gameplay. Für mich perfekt

*2026-01-13, version 1.2.5*

Man kann die guten Bewertungen erst nachvollziehen , wenn man es selbst erlebt. Unbedingt spielen!

### 5/5 — Gateway

*2025-12-29, version 1.2.5*

This game is absolutely worth the price. I loathe pay-to-win games and this ain’t one of those. I played 99% of this without a controller and it’s still enjoyable. I did get a backbone before finishing it. Now I’m actually looking forward to replaying it.

### 5/5 — Best Action RPG on iOS

*2025-12-26*

We really want new maps and new game modes—no matter the price, it’s worth it. This is the coolest game I’ve ever played on iOS. The combat, controls, and overall experience are amazing. Please keep updating the game! 🎮🔥

### 4/5 — Not much story

*2025-12-17, version 1.2.5*

This game is kinda easy with some focus and the story of the game is short would have been way better if there was more interactions

### 4/5 — Sehr gutes Game aber…

*2025-12-15*

Wir haben hier ein sehr solides Game. Angenehmer Schwierigkeitsgrad, gute Geschichte, sehr gute Steuerung, aber…Ich finde es sehr schade wenn bei Elite Gegnern und Bossen bei den letzten 5% Leben einfach mit Mobs und Angriffen gespamt wird. Dann macht doch den Gegner einfach schwieriger oder gibt ihm mehr Leben oder 2 Phasen aber es ist nervig kurz vor Ende des Kampfes nur noch zu dodgen. Alles in einem trotzdem ein sehr gutes Game und definitiv eine Kauf Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — Grimvalor review

*2025-12-04, version 1.2.5*

This is the best game ever. I play it with my playstation controller, I really recommend it. 
It is an amazing game. Although, it is slightly hard.

### 5/5 — Taylor made

*2025-12-01, version 1.2.5*

Taylor made for your needs

### 5/5 — В целом неплохо

*2025-11-16*

Приятная игрушка, чтобы пройти разок-другой, но в целом лучше бы дополнение к дедселсу взял

### 5/5 — playable offline, no ads or p2w

*2025-11-15, version 1.2.5*

The Dark Souls of the mobile universe, this is one of the only games where your skill matters more than how much you spend

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-10-18, version 1.2.5*

Playing this on iphone16 pro max is very nice. Thank you.

### 5/5 — şahane

*2025-09-29, version 1.2.5*

ขอ ให้ น้อง มี ความ สุข นะคะ หนู สามารถบอก พี่ ได้ นะคะ (นะจ๊ะ)

### 5/5 — Worth it, even more when it’s on sale

*2025-08-31, version 1.2.4*

Really good game especially for the price I paid. (1$) The game is fluid and the controls are pretty responsive. Can use touch or controller both work really well. The combat is really good with a well balanced difficulty. It can sometimes feel a little repetitive but in the end, the added mechanics makes it better.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-08-31, version 1.2.4*

Basically 2D Dark Souls. Controls are very good on mobile.

### 5/5 — I will really miss this game

*2025-08-28, version 1.2.4*

Please make another version i finished it twice and still need to play more

### 1/5 — What a rush!

*2025-09-06, version 1.2.5*

This is quite the stand out from the App Store.  It’s a full experience from beginning to end, with a slew of challenging platforming, satisfying secrets, and difficult but not frustrating boss fights.  With enough depth that each run can offer unique equipment to use, a variety of attributes to play with it, and enough surprises throughout the game, it’s a game that is better experienced directly rather than spoken about. Enjoyable in bursts and in marathons, this is a game that should be played if you are looking for a portable version of a game that falls somewhere between Castlevania and Dark Souls.

### 1/5 — Dark and Depressing

*2025-09-01, version 1.2.4*

This game is dark and depressing, I played to Level 19 and it didn’t get better.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2025-07-06, version 1.2.4*

The game is stupid.some jumps are impossible you get attacked from offscreen and cannot defend it..pay for 10 minutes of fun then frustrating gameplay..not worth it

### 1/5 — Waste money for this game

*2025-03-15, version 1.2.4*

Many bugs

### 1/5 — つまらなかった

*2024-12-28*

1周クリア、四章以外は宝箱も全取得

アクションの難易度が高い
アクションが出来ない人はお勧めしない
買って損をする

残像がつく回避に成功しても、判定がおかしく、回避中にダメージを受けていることがよくある

2周目は鬼のような難易度
それに引き換え、強化できる武具はほんの少し
さらに強化しても大して強くない

このゲームは、ボスは基本タイマンを仕掛けてこない
無限に湧くザコ、もしくは分身したボスなど、必ず複合攻撃を仕掛けてくる

結論
セールで買ったが、1周クリアしたら倉庫行き
クリアできなくてもしょうがない
これをやるなら、スペースマーシャルの方が、遥かにお勧め。

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2024-12-22, version 1.2.4*

I can’t complete the game because I died at the same time as I killed the ogre boss and now that quest is still marked incomplete and the game won’t let me progress any further 👎

### 1/5 — Boring

### 5/5 — Greatest 2D platformer on the AppStore

*2026-08-17, version 1.2.5*

I started playing this game when the iPhone 11 came out and still haven’t found a better game.

### 5/5 — The best mobile game ever

*2026-06-26, version 1.2.5*

Amazing.  So good in every way.   Please make a sequel!

### 5/5 — Well done!

*2026-06-20, version 1.2.5*

This game is a peak game I constantly relate to this as a well coded and constantly conservational thing to talk about like, "bro i beat this insane boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Storyline is good for what time it was made the game let's you activate your thinking mode when trying to figure out puzzles and etc... 𝓦𝓮𝓵𝓵 𝓭𝓸𝓷𝓮!
