I’d say a poorly balanced and designed game overall while providing some nostalgia. ### 3/5 — Please add gamepad support! *2025-07-09, version 1.0.5* Please add gamepad support! ### 4/5 — Great, but *2024-09-12* It’s not working with my ps5 dualsense controller conected with Bluetooth. Any fix? ### 4/5 — Awesome game *2024-03-03* What a game!, I really enjoyed the game. Felt like dark soul games….Super, need more story…. ### 4/5 — Good game, gets repetitive *2023-07-14* This game is fun, well-made, balanced, and challenging without being super frustrating (we don't talk about astrodotus). And it's great up until the point where you beat the game enough times to the point where everything's easy and there's not much point in anything. ### 2/5 — No controller support *2023-02-25, version 1.0.5* Cannot play with any controller even though it’s advertised as being able to have controller support. Let’s fix this team! This is a favorite game of mine ♥️ ### 4/5 — Great game, needs updating! *2022-11-02, version 1.0.5* Please update the game to modern device aspect ratios. This game is so great but hate playing with those black bars on the sides of the screen! ### 5/5 — One of the best *2022-06-04, version 1.0.5* I had to write a new review as i was quick to judge at first. Once you upgrade a bit this game is super fun! It takes a minute. I hope to see rogue legacy two on here please!!! ### 5/5 — Lololoshka *2022-05-16* Игра супер ### 5/5 — 買吧 *2022-05-07, version 1.0.5* 神作不解釋 ### 4/5 — it gets better the longer you play *2022-04-29, version 1.0.5* nice ### 5/5 — love it need more options tho *2022-01-28, version 1.0.5* i love this game bought it a second time just to have mobile... i really think it needs more options for the controls such as a "d-pad" and multiple preset button configuration maybe a defined dash button option realy want static d pad tho ### 2/5 — Add arrows commands please *2021-09-19, version 1.0.5* The game are super fun, but controls with a joystick are really bad ! Need arrows.. Controls lime Hoggy 2 game. A slider are better ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — PS5 controller unrecognized by game *2025-06-18, version 1.0.5* Should have listened to the other review saying PS5 controller doesn’t work.
