I guess that’s one of the “optimizations” they’ve made. It’s frustrating, and they do NOT make it clear that you won’t be able to continue playing after reaching level 10 during every one of the reminders the game gives you. Otherwise, it’s fantastic. ### 2/5 — Переоцененная игра *2025-09-22* В 2025 скучно. Возможно дело в том, что игра вышла 10 лет назад. Но геймлей настолько однообразен, что сил нет. Никакой динамики в бою: все сводится к тому, что под конец игры ты перепрыгиваешь сильных противников прыжком, делаешь пару ударов, перепрыгиваешь на другую сторону, делаешь 2 удара и так до победного. Кто это придумал??? В игре абсолютно нечем заняться. Любое задание, стычка, квест и прочее, сводится к одному - ты будешь долбить мобов. Долго и упорно. 3е издание не покупайте! Это бессмысленно. Музыка: ну она есть. Этого достаточно, чтобы сразу выключить эту психоделику. Flaying Tank дикий восторг! Круто! Но здесь была, видимо, проба пера. ### 5/5 — The best side scroller, it's a vine *2025-09-18, version 2.0.2* I just saw the developer updated this. It's worth the download. ### 3/5 — Intresting but.. *2025-09-14* Very low fps on iphone16 ### 5/5 — Best game *2025-05-03, version 2.0.2* I played this game ever since I was a little teenager, you can play offline and the premium version is a single payment ### 5/5 — Followed through childhood. *2025-03-31, version 2.0.2* great game, not a huge game critic. obviously it’s a little old for being on the app store, maybe one or two slightly off hitbox mechanics. but i love the game, designs. sprites and animations. enemies are unique and love the dialogue and quest hunting, id suggest this to anyone and everyone. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2025-03-21, version 2.0.2* I’ve completed this game twice now and I think it could be the best mobile game ever. I love the dynamics and creativity, especially in the world building. Entity and character design is amazing and the fight mechanics are super fun. The more you play, the more you get immersed in the goosebump-inducing story, pushing you to valiantly fight onwards. Only your morals dictate what type of legend you will become. Enter into the hollow heart of the pale swordsman and play this game RIGHT NOW. ### 5/5 — Best of its kind *2025-03-09, version 2.0.2* I loved playing it and still turn back to play more. Awesome ### 5/5 — My Childhood❤️ *2025-01-30, version 2.0.2* I bought the dark legend edition recently without even knowing the difference, i just think that this game is so beautiful ive always said as a kid that i would buy the highest tier and i finally did it after 11 years, thank you very much i wish i could see something like this again… ### 5/5 — Banger *2024-12-06, version 1.7.8* Made my childhood. Still goes hard today🔥 ### 5/5 — Лучшая игра👍 *2024-10-25* Игра просто офигенская всем советую у меня сестра играла теперь и я играю👍Это просто топовая игра, графика крутая управление сразу понятное ,жалко только что полная версия платная ну и сюжет весьма интересный😁враги прямо по порядку от лёгких до сложных не то что в других играх там где от сложных к сложным к лёгким. И ты вовремя игры тут всё время думаешь «ща из раскидаю и норм👌»но тут нужно несколько попыток чтоб победить и это круто! Даже в бесплатной версии уровень с демонами сложный оказался прошёл попытки с 6 и мне очень хочется купить полную версию игры! Играйте не пожалеете😁🙌👍 ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2024-10-08, version 1.7.8* Gra naprawdę warta uwagi, grałem już na różnych telefonach w ciągu ostatnich lat. Teraz postanowiłem kupić płatną wersję by móc dalej poznać fabułę inaczej w pewnym momencie już sobie nie pogracie ale naprawdę bardzo przyjemna i dająca w nerwy gra :) ### 5/5 — Stellar game, fair price for content *2024-10-02, version 1.7.8* I used to play this game's free trial as a kid all the time. Very nice graphics that have aged well, great story and gameplay, an overall great experience. Ad-free from what I remember, I bought the full game just to show my support. Great work. o7 ### 2/5 — Como lo colocó en español ? *2024-08-02, version 1.7.8* Como lo colocó en español ?? ### 5/5 — Gekauft! *2024-06-29* Bin zufällig drüber gestolpert und bin begeistert. Nettes kleines Metzelspiel mit guter Grafik und origineller Story. Keine nervigen InApp Käufe von der einmaligen Freischaltung abgesehen. Auf jeden Fall das Geld wert! ### 5/5 — The best game in my life *2024-06-08, version 1.7.8* This game is soooooo cool there is everything I ever wanted in a game! ### 5/5 — Es un gran juego *2024-05-03, version 1.7.8* Podría haber una actualización ### 2/5 — Silent Mode *2024-03-28, version 1.7.8* There’s no true silent mode even when I go into the settings of the game and turn down the sound. It’s even worse when I have my headphones in because I can’t listen to my music without the games sounds in the background. Every other game can do this except reaper? I’m paying money for this. You guys need to fix it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 中文呢？ *2026-01-05, version 2.0.2* 如題 ### 1/5 — 추억의 게임 *2025-08-23, version 2.0.2* 말 그대로 어렸을때의 향수를 느끼게 해주는 추억의 게임 하지만 지금와서 플레이하니 매판마다 팅긴다 못하겠다 ### 1/5 — 需要中文 *2024-02-28, version 1.7.8* 沒辦法顯示中文 ### 1/5 — Sound/Music No Longer Available *2023-03-01, version 1.7.8* I love this game.

Now I have it on my phone and I plan on playing through it again. I wish to have it placed on Xbox, it’s just such a cool and fun game, yeah you might not have people download it but there are a select few who would and the thought of playing it on a bigger screen makes me really happy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
