## What is Heavy Blade?

Heavy Blade is a fast paced 3D hack and slash dungeon crawler with gorgeous visuals and a heavy rock soundtrack.  

Reminiscent of games like Doom and Heretic, Heavy Blade combines old school gameplay with a new graphics engine.  Run and slash your way through 30 levels of dungeons filled with horrifying monsters and defeat the wizard!   Choose when to use ranged or close attacks depending on what vials are nearby to refill.  Dodge enemy attacks, or force them into a small hallway to take them on one at a time instead of getting surrounded.  Or simply grind and improve your character until you can overpower them.  The choice is yours.  Being aggressive is the name of the game here. You are always vulnerable but don't worry about getting hurt!  There are plenty of vials to restore your health scattered around the levels.

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2022-02-18*

Great graphics, background rock and roll soundtrack and gameplay in a small package. It is very immersive and feels a little like a virtual reality experience 😎🤙.This game is a job well done that deserves a sequel.

### 3/5 — It’s alright

*2019-10-12*

If you like corridor hack and slash game it’s for you

### 2/5 — Crashes on iOS 13

*2019-09-23, version 7*

The app doesn’t start and just crashes on iOS 13, iPhone XS. Please fix for a proper review and rating.

### 1/5 — 11 Pro Max Crash

*2019-09-22*

It won’t launch on my iPhone 11 Pro Max nor my old iPhone X. Both are on iOS 13, that might be the issue.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2019-09-21, version 7*

Doesn’t open on iPhone XS iOS 13

### 2/5 — Nice graphics but..

*2019-06-06*

Nice graphics but I can’t invert the controls.

### 3/5 — Confused...

*2018-10-29*

On an iPad pro.  The game play is smooth.  The graphics are nice, classic dungeon crawl.  However, I am not able to get the second map unlocked.  Played through, completed the first space... And then it just takes me back to the menu screen showing the first map/dungeon unlocked, and all the others remain locked.  Pretty sure this is glitched.

**Developer response:** The second quest on the first dungeon should be unlocked.   There are dungeon, and quest menus when selecting a level.

### 5/5 — Rocks

*2018-10-27*

The action is fast and fun. Really great dungeon game. The music is a great addition, metal bass cords. Feels like playing Skyrim but better. Worth a try for sure. You’ll love it.

### 4/5 — Surprisingly Fun

*2018-10-24*

At first I thought this game was a mindless hack-and-slash fighting game. Turns out, it is, and it’s a lot of fun. It’s a bit over-the-top and silly with the buffed-out enemies and heavy metal music, but I consider it to be a parody of 2000s era dungeon FPS games. Either way, it’s satisfying to play.

### 5/5 — Super good

*2017-01-17, version 4.1*

One of the best game out here. Good graphics good game perfect
