It can really make the combat more fluid and transparent. ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-12-03* The gameplay is super fun and engaging unlike a lot of other mobile games. I saw other reviews complaining about the difficulty but I feel like the difficulty is what makes the game fun instead of being mind-numbingly easy like most other mobile games that use bright colors and and have practically no gameplay. ### 5/5 — Great game design *2024-09-17, version 0.22.20* Very unique game design. Best of 2024 on my phone. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2024-09-13, version 0.22.20* Overall, an amazing mobile game I play all the time. Definitely one of my favourite rogue-lites for sure. I haven’t gotten super far yet so i don’t know if it’s already in the game, but my only recommendation is adding an infinite mode when u get as far as u can for stages and stack items. ### 4/5 — Fun and tough Roguelike *2024-07-21, version 0.22.20* This game isn’t easy to to start off with and you will die a lot if you’re new to parry games the timing of the parry is great and the combat itself feels very active being able to combo different attacks together my only issue is with the difficulty curve I feel that NG- and NG are incredibly easy once you have the timing down but once you get to NG+ it’s quite a big jump with enemies now having much longer combos and even being able to fake you out at times and while I wouldn’t have a problem with this since I’m used to fromsoftware games and I like that fast paced type of combat it’s pretty hard to distinguish most times what an enemy is doing since it’s pixel art the fakeouts are much harder to tell but aside from that it’s a fantastic game and has plenty to do and hopefully room for more in the future. ### 5/5 — Really underrated *2023-07-21* Such a good game. Love the concept and gameplay. I hope you are still updating it. ### 4/5 — So close to 5 stars! A few suggestions and a small glitch. *2023-07-06* Gameplay is very fun and ads aren’t intrusive! There is one glitch I’ve noticed, after selecting where a new card should go in battle, if you tap on another spot it’ll move to the slot you tap on and overlap the card that’s already there. However, this doesn’t effect the gameplay at all so it’s not critical. The only thing that’s keeping me from giving this amazing app a 5 star review is the lack of character customization. It would be really nice to be able to have a few options for how your character looks. Last suggestion would be qol for ipad, it would be very nice if the aspect ratio wasn’t fixed. This could be done through either by just scaling the background, or having some different background border art like how it’s done in btd6. It would also be nice if you could use space on an ipad keyboard as a tap for combat, as in space would be the same as tapping the screen for parries. This last detail isn’t too important as the player would assumingely still have to use the trackpad for card selection (unless you added number key support for card selection) so it wouldn't change too much anyhow. All things consider this is an amazing game and I’d love to give it 5 stars if we could see some character options. Great job on the game! ### 5/5 — One of the best roguelite games for IOS *2023-06-25, version 0.22.14* Let me preface this by giving a bit of context to my history with roguelite games. I have over 60 roguelite games on steam, and have played a combined 3000+ hours of roguelites, my favourite being dead cells. As a mobile game, this game does not try to be overly ambitious, so don't go into it expecting the next risk of rain 2 or enter the gungeon. instead, it is a simple but surprisingly engaging turn based game, where you tap at the right time to parry enemy attacks and regain energy to play your abilities when you do so. This mechanic creates an extremely high skill ceiling, where parrying as much as possible allows you to attack more frequently as well as take no damage. Runs are short, with only 3 areas (15 encounters total) before the boss, and this leads to enjoyable, fast runs with little downtime. Your first few runs will be HARD and you will die a lot, but as you learn to parry more you'll get to the final boss quite quickly. Gems are not important to buy, as you can honestly get more of them by just playing the game and they are only used to buy permanent upgrades for your runs, which you can get as rewards by killing enemies. The dev is extremely active on his discord and is very receptive to player feedback. If you have ideas, join the discord and share them with him! ### 5/5 — Best Mobile Game *2023-06-23, version 0.22.14* Really fun and addicting combat Only suggestion would be making it more clear how some mechanics work (combos should be used after the attack) ## Frequently asked questions about Momentum ### What kind of gameplay does Momentum offer?
