What did I just pay $10 for?
Did you guys do *any* amount of optimizing for mobile?
- Nearly unplayable on iPhone XR. Literally the single hardest struggle I've ever seen with this phone. (and I have plently of games on here)
- Finally crashed after an hour of attempting to play, occasionally at framerate of less than 1fps (but usually more like 10fps).
- No autosave
- No touch controls (just an emulated joystick/d-pad + buttons, which all constantly struggle to accept any given input)
- No option to turn off sprite animations or turn down visual quality.
- No manual screen "safe zone" resizing (which wouldn't normally matter, but it does on this game)
- For all the good reviews, I found the menu layout to be fairly unintuitive.
I'm sure I'd have more critique, but I didn't even get the chance since it crashed shortly after the tutorial.
I should've read the "recent" reviews before paying. What a suprisingly bad experience.
This was clearly not made for this platform, and, at $10 a pop, I can't imagine why you wouldn't just rebuild the whole thing explicitly for touchscreen and rerelease it as 'Siralim Ultimate Mobile'. I'm sure this game is worth something on PC, but it's not worth anything on my iPhone. I want my $10 back.

Really great
Update: I’m now around 15 hours in and it’s still awesome. If this sounds vaguely like something you’d enjoy don’t let the price stop you. This game is just so deep it’s hard to put into words.
Original review:
I came to this game from slay the spire. Was looking for a strategy game with persistent character to advance. I initially dismissed it based on price and it sounded like the old Pokémon game. But honestly this game feels more like slay the spire mixed with something like Diablo. It is turn based which is great for this kind of game. But I’ve turned into a zealot telling everyone I know that’s it’s worth buying. I’ve got maybe 5 hours in and it does take an hour or two for it to click. My only request is that you could save the game mid-realm (dungeon) and have a more detailed breakdown of a battle to see all of the effects happening. But this is worth getting!

Trash Game
No excuse for the amount of bugs and crashes this game has. Any battle that lasts any length of time runs the risk of freezing the app, and that’s if you don’t have an alarm or phone call that crashes this unstable mess. When it’s not flushing your progress you have the benefit of a useless option of showing the ‘battle history’ to see what happens on each turn, which would be nice if it wasn’t glitched with text overlapping and multiple actions being missing. Going to the discord to report a bug and the first thing you see is someone reporting basic menu options not saving. If you can overcome the awful starting control scheme you are rewarded with negligent garbage that’s a waste of your time and money.
