### 3/5 — Wouldn’t allow sound to play and can’t get pass tutorial

*2026-08-24, version 1.5.13*

This game brings back so much nostalgia that I just had to redownload and play again. But there’s no sound? And it won’t allow me to pass the tutorial stage at all even after defeating the boss. I’m on iPhone 17pro max. And it’s be so great to play on my free time at work. Is this issue just happening to me?

### 4/5 — Bug icloud

*2025-02-16, version 1.5.3*

error syncing with file saved in cloud

### 3/5 — Manque de mise à jour

*2024-04-21*

Dommage..  j’y rejouerai quand il sera adapté et optimisé aux derniers iPhone

### 2/5 — 全体的に不親切

*2024-04-20*

グラフィックは良いが、全体的に不親切。レベルも上がりにくく、なかなか強くなれないし、ステージクリアで希少性の高い装備アイテムを手に入れても、装備可能レベルが3,4レベル上に設定されてたりするので、モチベーションが全然沸かない。戦闘も押しっぱなしで使える銃撃があらぬ方向に向くので非常にストレス。戦闘中、重要な回避もやや押しにくいし、攻撃やスキルのボタン配置自体が画面右下のギリギリにあるので、スムーズな操作は期待できない。序盤から色々な機体を使い分けたりすることもできないし、気軽にスキルの付け替えもできないので、ステージ攻略が非常に気が重い。世界観とかキャラの会話とか正直どうでも良いので、それよりは武器ショップとかで手軽に強化できて、新ステージへの攻略意欲が湧くような設計にしてほしかった。残念。

### 3/5 — Unresponsive Controls

*2024-03-23, version 1.5.3*

Trying to collect all the badges is the biggest pain when the dodge button has a 50/50 chance of not working. Please look into this.

### 4/5 — L’app ne se lance pas sur IPhone 14 Pro Max

*2024-03-01*

L’application n’est malheureusement pas optimisée pour des versions récentes d’IOS. On espère que l’équipe fera une mise à jour. Bonne journée

### 5/5 — Eines der besten Rollenspiele im Store

*2024-01-21*

Einfach klasse das Game. Ich kann es nur empfehlen der auf gute Rollenspiele sowie Action Games steht. Nur wie wäre es mal mit einer Fortsetzung oder ein ähnliches Rollenspiele. Ich würde ne Fortsetzung sofort vorbestellen.

### 5/5 — Шедевр

*2023-11-29*

Это шедевр, один из лучших слэшеров

### 3/5 — iOS 17 Update.

*2023-10-11*

### 5/5 — 5년만에 첫페이지

*2023-05-06*

15년도에 받아서 잘 하고 있는데 5년 만에 다시 순위권 올라왔네요 ㅋㅋ 호옥시...? 후속편...?

이라 했지만 8년 뒤에도 후속은 없었다.. 
이런 게임 또 안나오나

### 5/5 — Great Hack N Slash title

*2023-02-01, version 1.5.3*

Fun little action game that has a great amount of difficulty. It is perfect for the phone because the game is divided up into short levels that are about 5-10 mins in length depending on difficulty. For the price you can’t beat it. Graphics are good, voice acting is nice and the music is top tier. For mobile users, this is some of the best hack and slash action you can find and the price is unbeatable. It’s not perfect but it is very entertaining.

### 5/5 — Vale a pena cada centavo

*2022-11-18*

Esse jogo é maravilhoso em tudo e se vc tiver um iPad nossa a experiência é ainda melhor lembra muito os gráficos do PS2

### 5/5 — Nicht ganz 5 Sterne…

*2022-08-04*

…aber FAST ! Gehört mit zu dem besten was ich seit einiger Zeit gespielt habe. KEINE Käufe für hunderte €, KEINE Werbung und trotzdem ein tolles Spiel !!! Hab 1,99€ für bezahlt und es war jeden Cent wert !

### 3/5 — UPDATES

*2022-07-29*

This game is too god to be left like this. There are so many possibilities to explore urgh

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2022-07-21, version 1.5.3*

Game’s a fun hack a slash. Only gripe was the touch controls only because the dodge button somehow registers as a slash instead of a dodge. Would be nice if the touch controls can be modifiable.

### 5/5 — This is an awesome game

*2022-06-20, version 1.5.3*

This game is really underrated. My 5 stars doesn’t mean it is a perfect game but it means it got me to have fun. Getting me to have fun doesn’t really happen with games outside of madfinger and activision. So it is awesome to play a game from a company I have never seen before. I do recommend 💪

The gameplay reminds me Hades.

### 1/5 — Money goes to the cgs not designs

*2024-07-03, version 1.5.3*

First of all, good plots dialogues and scene
Second of all, poor movement design, why is the moving stick shifting with my finger? It supposed to stay where it is so the character always move to the direction I wanted it to, this design badly ruins the whole game experience, cause it’s a heavy melee action game, the character needs to move frequently in order to dodge attacks, the design of the moving stick following my finger does not let me control the character’s movement all time. 
Third, poor elite design, elite enemies mostly has a purple shield which needed to be broken down so they would take knock down affects, then, why do you design a elite that could knock down player character by every attack? When it has a purple shield on it’s a almost invincible and resource wasting enemy and yet it will occur in defense missions where this thing attracts most of the attention and other mobs just rushed in the facility, horrible game fight experience.

### 1/5 — Buggy attack button

*2023-09-20, version 1.5.3*

No matter where I tap on the screen, it’s attack. Making dodging extremely hard

### 1/5 — Can you guys please fix shield regeneration!!!

*2023-08-24, version 1.5.3*

Can you guys please fix shield acc and shield regen please?
And add surgical strike matrix?

### 1/5 — Очень сложно

*2023-07-22*

Проходить на самом легком уровне невозможно, на самом легком уровне даже пройти игру не получается. В платной игре донат не хилый, когда тебя убивают нужно ожить с помощью доната. Есть второй персонаж в игре, но открыть его невозможно вообще, он для галочки там видимо, прокачка персонажа худший вариант, одно поднимаете другое теряете в улучшениях, так во всех улучшениях. Графина на 5, всё красиво и качественно сделано. Это игра не стоит больше 150 рублей. Разраб идиот походу. Видимо геймер и думает что все такие специалисты

### 1/5 — Не могу сказать игру

*2022-03-13*

Нажимаю скачать и 0 реакции

### 1/5 — Good graphics,Poor Controls

*2020-08-21, version 1.5.0*

This is really good graphics specially on iPad Pro 11 2018. However, poor controls or non responsive controls. I hope the developer can fix the bugs. I will update this review once it is working properly.

### 1/5 — It’s fun

*2020-07-13, version 1.2.4*

Man can we get a update

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2020-06-09, version 1.2.4*

Does not support iPhone 11 resolution.

### 1/5 — Слили

*2020-04-11*

Видимо проект полностью забросили,очень жаль,реально достойная игра и даде не оптимизировали на безрамочные экраны,на 7 айфоне норм была на 11 нет

### 1/5 — Sauvegarde

*2020-01-21, version 1.2.4*

Très déçu 
Je suis pas capable de sauvegarder mon jeux pour le prix c’est décevant

### 5/5 — Core childhood memory

*2026-07-02*

I first played this game when I was very young but was saddened when I couldn’t play it after certain levels because of the rest being locked behind a paywall so many years later I’m working now and remembered this game and after purchasing it I played the rest of the levels and I must say I was not disappointed but I felt that the story was lacking in various aspects, I’m currently writing this review after finishing the game and the ending felt good and a bit bland as well. In my opinion the developers could’ve added more lore to the game as this game deserves it like an extra 5 chapters but going deeper into the story and talking more about Jakes past and lore about his crew and many characters like Napoleon and Diana and even more information on the XADA but apart from this in terms of action I was not disappointed I loved the enemy types and of course how can I forget how cool Avalon’s design is, one of the best mech designs I’ve ever seen. Apart from all this the ending left me a bit confused as it ended in a mystery. I don’t know if the developers will even see this review but y’all can definitely go for a sequel game and I would 100% purchase it because this type of world building shouldn’t go to waste and if y’all do make a sequel please make a PC version because that will just be the cherry on top.
Well that’s all from my side I just checked out one of my childhood wish-lists here after finishing this game and now I’ll clear Expert mode so hell yeah!
If anyone is skeptical about purchasing this game well don’t be as this is worth the 2$ (or ₹199 in my currency) 
This game is way better than mobile games nowadays so check it out people! 
At the end thanks Rayark for making this game and adios people on the internet!
Take care!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-06-25, version 1.5.13*

Love this game

### 5/5 — Worth the money

*2026-05-23, version 1.5.3*

This is probably going to be the shortest review it’s not one of them, anyways in short, it’s worth it for little money that I spent on it.

### 5/5 — НЕВЕРОЯТНО!

*2026-05-10*

Уж не знаю как это Вы сделали, нооооо игра жрет батарейку раза в три меньше, чем тот же «садовник». В остальном прекрасная игра! Всем любителям экшена рекомендую.

### 5/5 — This game is fun

*2025-08-11, version 1.5.3*

This game is so fun and the combat in this game is also fun

### 5/5 — スマホアクションの最高峰

*2025-05-14*

スマホアクションの中ではトップ3に入る。個人的に。とにかく面白かった！

### 5/5 — 続編希望！！！

*2024-08-15*

ストーリー性もグラフィックも最高です。どれだけ高くてもいいから、続編を作ってもらってやりこみたいです。

### 5/5 — PS5 Controller Support

*2024-05-15*

Habe es nirgends gelesen, aber man kann mit einem Controller - in meinem Fall ein PS5 Controller - spielen. Das sollte noch erwähnt werden, weil er sofort erkannt und die Tastenbelegung auch direkt in den Tutorials gezeigt wird. Das ist super und sollte eigentlich stärker hervorgehoben werden. Vor allem, wenn man wie ich auf einem iPad zockt :)
Hatte es auf dem Handy schon durchgezockt und starte eine neue Session auf meinem „Wunderding“. Top!

### 5/5 — Le meilleur jeu que j’ai joué sur iOS

*2024-05-07*

C’est un jeu qui est terriblement amusant. Je le recommande sans réserve. Dommage qu’il n’y ait plus de mise à jour. J’aimerais avoir une version de avec les dernières avancées graphiques qui me permettrait de m’amuser beaucoup plus. C’est un appel au développeur pour qu’il développe une version deux et qu’on puisse s’amuser.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-05-01, version 1.5.3*

Let me start by saying this game needs an anime. I have purchased this game three times I originally owned it on android then I picked up the iOS version now I’m currently playing through on my Nintendo switch so anytime you pay for game three times on three different platforms that should let you know that this game was the truth  It’s a semi top down, semi third person, action adventure game I wish they would release a Metroid game with the same play style, but until they do, I can’t stress this enough. This game is amazing It has controller support on iOS and android and of course Nintendo switch. I really wish the developers would do a sequel to this And this time give us crimson at the beginning of the game once she won crimson it’s a whole different ball game
