I enter the warp device and a scene appear, after the scene i press ContinuE but it doesnt want anymore… i honestly believe that this game is not complete. Is there anymore continuation or next stage??? **Developer response:** Hi, we are happy you are enjoying the game. Upon further testing we have realised there was a bug blocking the game from continuing. We have triggered a new version (1.3.1) with this bug fixed please keep an eye on the app store for this update to go live, sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2023-10-17* Let’s just forget the graphics are rough. You can’t even see the monsters Hp or remaining Hp so you have no way of knowing how difficult the fight will be. Next the game stops saving itself so I loose like an hour of progress because the game will not auto save or manual save. I tried to manual save several times and it would not do it on a empty slot not an existing slot either. This game also needs towns or ins to recover Hp and Mp. It’s too tedious to use 5 herbs to heal your health to full. The armor costs np and stuff costs way to much considering you will have to farm just to buy positions to heal your Hp leaving no room to save for other items. This is a really bad unbalanced game. The story wasn’t horrible but not great either. A valiant effort but I’m afraid this game is a bit too rough. Also, it’s pathetic that it has a button to get free crystals but every time I watch an ad for them it just gives me a free healing herb instead. This game is way too buggy to play in its current state sorry. **Developer response:** We are sorry you are not enjoying our game and ran into issues with saving. Whilst this is still in the early stages of the release, we totally understand that the balancing still needs work and will continue to improve that based on your feedback. In regards to towns and healing ability we will be working on adding that into the expanded Steam version in the future. You will only get the free healing herbs in the "coin" shop the "crystal" shop should indeed reward you with crystals (we have just re-tested this as of version 1.2). We will look to release version 1.3 in the coming weeks and hope this helps improve the balancing of the game. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2023-09-13* The game has very good graphics, animation and runs pretty smooth with no latency and it’s easy to navigate through the map. You get to fight new monsters as the game progress and the tactics of choosing the items to use in each fight keep the game engaging and interesting. ## Frequently asked questions about Sanctus ### What is Sanctus - Ancient Arts?
