The Legend Returns to iOS

I have been waiting for this game to be playable on iOS again for over a decade. The original Tyrian was released way back in the early days of the iPhone and iPad. I played this at a friend’s house as a kid, and then got to experience the full game on iOS in 2010. Unfortunately, the app stopped working when Apple stopped 32bit game support. Today, on a whim, I searched to see if someone may have rereleased it and was shocked to see that not only was it back on iOS, but that it’s the full Tyrian 2000 release. Thank you so much for bringing this game back to Apple devices. This game plays beautifully with a touch screen.

A couple requests:
1. Can the finger offset for direct touch be move to above the finger and not to the side? (Or just be given the option to change it.
2. In its current form it seems to be stretched, as the original game was in 4:3. If we could get a 4:3 option that would be awesome.
3. Lastly, I am right handed and would prefer an option to have the touch buttons be available on the left side of the screen as well

Thanks again!

Thanks for the amazing feedback! I’ll try to add your requests to the next release :)

Memories!

I’ve been really enjoying reacquainting with this classic. My only frustration is that the controls get really wonky on my iPad every once in a while. I’ll be trying to navigate a level, and then the controls will pull to the left and I can’t stop or override them without quitting the game. Small frustration - tremendous satisfaction.

You are welcome! Enjoy :)

화면 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

좌우 반대, 싱하 반대로 나오는거 해결좀 해주세요.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한글버전 어이기 없네??

내가 구매할 당시에 지원 언어에 한국어 있었고, 한글 된단 리뷰 있었음.

지금 현재 위에 말한것처럼 나오고 게임안에서 언어 변경 옵션 없음…

강제로 모국어 외계어로 읽어야 되는 상황임

환불도 안됨. 아마 한글지원빠져 있는데 한글 불량으로 환뷸 요청햐서 그럼가봄

I have no intention of requesting a refund if the Korean text output is corrected. Additionally, please check if teleportation (warping) occurs during in-game movement controls.

번역이 제대로 되지 않아 죄송합니다. 원작 게임은 다국어를 지원하지 않았고, 기본 해상도가 너무 낮아 게임 내 렌더링 대신 모든 것을 오버레이해야 해서 문제가 발생했습니다. 다음 업데이트에서는 개선하도록 하겠습니다. 메인 메뉴에서 영어 번역 옵션을 선택하실 수 있을 겁니다. 환불 요청이 안 되는 점 죄송합니다. 어떻게 하면 더 쉽게 환불받으실 수 있을지 저도 잘 모르겠습니다. 혹시 방법을 알게 되시면 알려주세요. 환불 절차를 도와드리겠습니다.
