Allerdings nicht im Menü. Und die Tasten verschwinden auch nicht, wie im Update angekündigt. Schade das es schon lange keine Updates mehr gab. Das Game ist echt top. ### 2/5 — Không thể chơi được trên iPhone iPad *2025-09-21, version 1.02* Quá lag ### 3/5 — Okay so I have a few words *2024-11-23* I downloaded the first Shadow Blade and played it to completion. It is hands down the best plat-former game I’ve yet to find on a mobile device. However, Shadow Blade Reload is lack luster in terms of enjoyment. This is simply because it does not run well whatsoever. Every level lags to the point it almost isn’t even playable. Some levels are just copied from the first game and like I said it is frustrating when it doesn’t run well. The jump button almost has a sticky key attached to it so when I go to slide down walls sometimes the jump button pushes itself. As far as visuals go it’s pretty solid and improved from the first game as long as you don’t touch your screen. I hope the devs can really touch this game up because I would really like to play it the same way I did the first game. ### 2/5 — Many bugs *2022-12-30* The game has performance issues even in iPad M2. Sometimes I get a black screen… doesn't work and I wast my money with that… ### 2/5 — Laggy *2022-03-06* Nice game but extremely laggy on iPad 9 and Mac mini M1. Would give four stars minimum otherwise. ### 4/5 — Make a third installment please *2022-01-26* Doesn’t work with backbone game controller but this is still a great game 4stars ### 2/5 — Story not running on iPhone X ;( *2021-01-07* Bought it for 6 euro and the story does not start ;( also no iPhone X support . I already played CM and it works great. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Please update it *2020-12-17* It’s a great game but it needs a lot of fixing ,the gameplay is really bad it glitches when i walk and he kinda freezes please fix ### 2/5 — Refund *2020-12-16, version 1.02* not everyone will like the game. provide a more accurate video review so that people understand what they are buying. Return the money. I'm serious. spent 2 minutes in the game. I want a refund. ### 4/5 — игра супер *2020-11-09* но после прохождения первой главы черный экран и дальше не грузит, то есть дальше игра не идет. очень надеюсь что исправите хоть игра и старая, но крутая ### 2/5 — Froze up *2020-09-24* Everything was working fine until 2nd world it froze up and 1, couldn't get it to work again. I would love to finish the game if possible. ### 2/5 — Unplayable *2020-01-08* Was going to buy this on Switch but saw it cheaper on iOS. Game is unplayable on iPad mini 5 as screen is very jittery. Difficult to even see what’s going on as so off putting. ### 3/5 — Alright *2019-10-19, version 1.02* Good game but it is not on full screen and lags sometimes. Anyone help? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-06-09, version 1.02* Running this on a 2019 iPad and the graphics freezes and stutters, it’s basically running at like 10 FPS. ### 1/5 — Mfi broken *2019-02-16* Pressing left on the controller brings up the pause menu. Controls pretty much don’t work at all during menus. Touch controls do not disappear when using the controller. I don’t mess with touch controls when playing platformers and other games of the like (I don’t know why anyone would), so this game is unplayable. Basically I’ve just given five dollars for nothing. ### 2/5 — Fix this *2018-06-20, version 1.02* When I was on the 6 world I closed the game and started playing later and this damn thing restarted all of my data ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hangs *2025-07-31* The game barely works on my IPhone 15 pro :( keeps hanging. Also the controls are at different locations from the original ### 1/5 — Beware of shady business with developer and Apple. Does not work on newer devices. *2022-08-13, version 1.02* I never write reviews really but can’t help it this time. It’ll be worth it if it saves even one person the frustration. Bottom line I believe this is a really cool game. It’s fun and has really nice graphics and art style in my opinion. It’s just that it would be great if it actually worked on newer devices. I have 13 Pro Max and it’s basically unplayable. It freezes and glitches BADLY. You may get lucky for one round just to find it keeps happening over and over again. 90% of the time it’s straight up unplayable. What’s more is that it doesn’t fill the entire screen, it’s 16x9 and hard to see and the notification/status bar (time network status and battery level) don’t ever disappear. I can understand if it simply isn’t profitable for the developer to update the app for modern devices but the bare minimum right thing to do would be to add a disclaimer in the description stating that. Simple really. But then they would squeeze out as many dollars as possible regardless of the dishonesty. Adding insult to injury, Apple denied my refund request even though I immediately uninstalled it and submitted a refund request with 24 hours. “My request “did not meet the conditions for a refund.” If a broken app doesn’t meet the conditions, what will? Do your research before to buy old apps. I learned the frustrating way. Apple will gladly sell you duds and bold face deny refund. Shame. ### 1/5 — 不會儲存進度，每次玩都要重新開始，千萬不要裝 *2022-05-22, version 1.02* 很失望，一看之下已經六年未更新，螢幕也沒配合瀏海的 iPhone ，還在賣真的是騙人！ ### 1/5 — Too small *2022-03-03, version 1.02* I can’t see what’s going on. The graphics are too small. ### 1/5 — 目前不可玩 *2021-12-29, version 1.02* 未對新iPhone做最佳化 左右黑邊 畫面偏小 按鍵偏小 最難受的是 會掉FPS 還不如玩CM版 ### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPhone 11 pro *2021-12-26* Lags so badly that I can’t even beat the first level. The first game was great, played through the whole thing on several different phones. Looks like they tried to make a decent sequel here but without support for the newest phones it’s a total waste of 5 bucks. Doesn’t look like they have released a new update in years either. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2021-09-29, version 1.02* Played the previous “Shadow Blade” and loved it. However, this game is way too glitchy with too many frame-drops, so I can’t recommend it to anyone. ### 1/5 — This app needs updating* *2020-10-27* I bought this app for my iPhone 11 Pro Max & it keeps crashing. Also it’s really glitchy while trying to play. Last time it was up dated 4 years ago~???!?🥱😵🥴🙀😕😕😕 Could you please reply to convey if you’re going to update this app? Yes/No ### 1/5 — Shadow blade reload *2020-07-28, version 1.02* The game lags ### 1/5 — Good *2020-01-27, version 1.02* Game is always glitching ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 无法全屏了 *2021-11-08, version 1.02* 非常棒的游戏，但是全面屏手机已经无法全屏了，希望能够再次更新。 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-08-17* The gameplay, story everything is worth it. I can’t even remember the number of times I’ve replayed all the levels. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-10-31, version 1.02* [==========}::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::> Love this game. Dope afffff ### 5/5 — Good plat form game *2017-11-27* Graphics are good game working smoothly and responsive on the I pad pro 2 generation highly addictive and fun👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-08-20* I love this game for the graphics and boss battles ### 5/5 — Good game *2017-08-12, version 1.02* Great game graphics are good too ### 5/5 — Arcade-Action vom Feinsten *2016-12-26* Shadow Blade hat mich wunderbar unterhalten. Ist manchmal etwas schwierig, aber irgendwie kommt man immer durchs Level. Grafikstil, Atmosphäre und Setting passen perfekt. Die Story wird im Comic-Format erzählt, und zwar durchaus ansehnlich. Die Kritik an der Steuerung kann ich nicht verstehen. Geruckelt hat auch nix auf iPad Air 2 und iPhone 6S. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen! ### 5/5 — 이렇게 좋은 게임이 왜 순위에 없을까... *2016-09-25* 한국 게임 스토어 순위엔 항상 노가다 게임만있고... 이런게임이 유명해질 수 있음 좋겠다... 물론 이 게임을 강요라는 것처럼 들릴수 있지만 게임성 없고 상업성 짙고 경쟁만 부추기는 게임이 돈을 더 잘버는 한국 게임시장이 한심스러워 한자 적고 감... ### 5/5 — Un petit bijou *2016-09-08* Tout est dans le titre ... ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!! *2016-06-17* I love this game and the part where you control it with a controller made it even better I finished number one and I'm almost done with number 2 but can you make number 3 👏👏👏👏👏 please please just think about it and if you could that would be great |=]:::::::::::> 😛😛😛 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
