### 2/5 — This game is awesome except…

*2026-03-07, version 1.20*

I really like this game but on the Vision Pro the rotate application icon doesn’t appear. Please update it so it can be enjoyed on the AVP. That or make an AVP immersion version and be the extraordinary gaming company I know you can be.

### 3/5 — I really want to play this again, but…

*2023-08-19, version 1.18*

It doesn’t work on iPhone.  Or it does, but in order to have the graphics look right you have to turn your phone vertical and then lay it flat on a table or something, otherwise the graphics are too large and stretched out.

### 2/5 — Overrated

*2023-06-18, version 1.18*

I enjoyed the humor and the music was great, but that was it. I’ve stuck it out for a lot of slow paced games, including a few point and click games, but this was just so boring. 

I played past session two against the Trigon. The thought of facing two more of them would have driven me insane. A full minute just to power up. Combat was different, but ultimately just timing. Puzzles were mostly guess and check until you can figure out what can and cannot be manipulated

### 4/5 — I **REALLY** want to play this again but…

*2023-02-02, version 1.18*

It doesn’t work right on my phone past the opening title screen 😿 iPhone 14 pro plus. Please, please 🙏🏻 give an update? ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎

### 3/5 — Mon jeux est en japonais?

*2021-04-27*

Ca fait plusieurs quelque mois que je ne peux plus jouer a ce jeux en anglais, je ne sais pas comment remettre la langue, car il se trouve actuellement en japonais

### 3/5 — Clunky and annoying

*2020-04-27, version 1.16*

This game is cute but I find that some of the commands are really clunky and don’t work well at all which makes the experience really frustrating. There is a lot of waiting and load times which also makes the gameplay annoying. Not sure why the reviews for this are so good.

### 4/5 — 멋진게임은 맞다 재밋는 게임인가는? 글쎄올시다...

*2018-05-10*

게임하는 내내 분위기 하난 끝내주는 게임
근데 도트게임에 hd가 의미가 있나 싶다 그냥 이버젼 사는게 돈아끼는게 아닌가 싶다

### 3/5 — Universal?

*2017-02-01, version 1.16*

Gotta buy the whole game again to be able to play the exact same thing on my iPad?? Thanks.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-04-03, version 1.12*

Best game on mobile.

### 5/5 — A genuine beauty

*2016-03-22, version 1.12*

Just re-downloaded after about 3 years and it still has the same charm, the same dark brilliance and wonderousness. This is the best thing my iPhone has ever gifted me. Just goes to show what can happen when talented people are motivated by something other than just money. What a gem.

### 5/5 — Fabulous!

*2016-02-01, version 1.12*

I'm loving this game- quirky, immersive and phone friendly; almost as much fun as silent age (not quite so much logic so far) more games like this please!

### 2/5 — Broken on ios 9 / iphone 6

*2015-10-03, version 1.10*

Broken on ios 9, enemies just sit there in battle and dont do anything so you cant progress past certain battles, very fristrating

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-06-03, version 1.10*

My only complaint is the part where you have to wait for a bright and dark moon in the third section. Other than that the game was great with a nice art style and an amazing sound track!

### 2/5 — Kind of boring

*2015-03-19, version 1.10*

Expected to have more fun with all the hype around this game.. Seemed like a lot of pretentious fluff.

### 5/5 — Don't quote me on this but..

*2015-02-12, version 1.10*

Just as a correction to the review below, as far as I can tell you don't have to purchase a separate version for iPhone and iPad. The other (non-micro) edition is universal, which would suggest that it'll work on both. Which does raise the question: what's the point in this version? I don't know. That's as far as I've gotten with my detective work. Over and out.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 11 Pro Max iOS 16

*2022-10-15, version 1.18*

Please fix

### 1/5 — 起動してもタイトルから進まない

*2020-04-29*

iPhone xで起動したところ、タイトル画面から進行不能です。メンテナンス出来ないならappを取り下げるべきとおもいます。

### 1/5 — Don't trust the reviews- it's the most boring game ever

*2017-08-24, version 1.16*

I understand that the game is trying to be "different" but it's not "good different"!

Pace: Extremeeeeeely slow 
UI: horrible 
Gameplay: there's not much of gameplay. Honestly.
Story: in the several hours that I played it barely moved

I want my wasted time back!!!!!

I've really tried to give this game a chance over several attempts and always gave up.
If you play 20 minutes of it are totally bored but are hoping it'll pick up - don't. 
It's more of the same.

### 1/5 — Gets stuck at 37%

*2015-10-03, version 1.10*

This is a fun game but mine got stuck at 37% in a battle screen and won't let you exit or do anything else.  I tried contacting the developers on their website and on Twitter and have not received any response. It was only a few dollars but not worth the disappointment.

### 1/5 — not a fan

*2015-09-29, version 1.10*

i dont like it... and the directions/controls are very finicky, at least for me. not worth playing

### 1/5 — Terrible!!!

*2014-12-06, version 1.10*

This game is just so bad!!! No story, terrible gameplay, average soundtrack, and it's nothing special to look at. I have no idea why this is doing so well. Do NOT spend your money on this. I wish I hadn't.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-06-26, version 1.10*

I'm on session 2, and I can't enter sorcery mode for the little hut. I've tried pressing and holding everywhere on the screen. I thought that perhaps I was doing something wrong so I looked up a walk-through guide online, did exactly what it said, and it still doesn't work.

Very frustrating because I was enjoying this game up until here.

### 1/5 — Glitches before I can play

*2014-02-04, version 1.09*

I was looking forward to playing this game but every time I try to play and enter into a fight with an enemy the app either shuts down or I'm restarted from the beginning. Bit disappointed as I've paid for it, hopefully a patch may come out to solve this problem

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2013-10-12, version 1.08*

I wish I could give fewer stars. No, scratch that, I just wish I could have my money back. This game is too arty for functions like 'save', 'pause' or 'settings'. No matter how far into it I get in any one sitting, the instant I close the app all my progress is erased and it expects me to start again. I've played session one three times now, and because I had to do something else midway through session two, I'm now looking at a fourth go. No thanks.

### 1/5 — A good game but why do I need to buy it again to play it on the iPad?

*2013-07-07, version 1.07*

Like other reviewers I like this game but I am annoyed that after paying full price for this game I must pay full price again for the "universal" edition. Rip off and a poor way to treat early customers.

### 5/5 — I have come back 10 years to write this

*2024-11-21, version 1.20*

During my childhood I downloaded this game. I found it difficult since I was young but it the only game that I can look back on with such good memories even 10 years later. Truly a masterpiece of a mobile game. You don’t find games like this any more on mobile hopefully you guys release something similar in my life time. Thank you so much truly.

### 5/5 — Пиксель Арт ОБАЛДЕННЫЙ

*2021-03-25*

Это самый лучший пиксельная игра которую я видел!)

### 5/5 — Probably best game ever on iOS

*2021-02-22, version 1.16*

I loved this game. From the strange cigar smoking man, crazy geometric magic, the awesome soundtrack and the aesthetics and the mood. This game remains years after playing it, one of my all-time favorites.
Wish there’d come a sequel or something of a similar vein from the same guys behind this title
Great work!!

### 5/5 — One of thee best games iv played

*2021-02-12, version 1.16*

The artistic style fun retro pixle style and fun little interactive elements that help you puzzle your way through this game is unique and leaves a lasting impression. 
Cannot wait for many more games from these developers! 
And you know its good when you panic when the bad guy runs after you! 
The story and atmosphere are just transporting!

### 5/5 — Музыка кайф

*2020-09-13*

Снова и снова играю в неё с наслаждением от графики и музыки

### 5/5 — ゲーマーから初心者まで楽しめる一品

*2020-02-07*

・総評
非常に完成度の高いゲームです。
プレイすると妥協なく練られている事がよくわかります。ゲーム好きが作ったゲームですね。
凝っていながら、誰でも楽しめるシンプルな型に落とし込んである事が、プレイヤーにも配慮した素晴らしい出来だと感じます。
プレイ後に製作陣のインタビューや開発史などを読むと一層おもしろいです。

・難易度と内容
ゲーム内容は1本道で、謎解きと戦闘を挟みながら、マップを歩き回り物語を進めていきます。謎解きは時に難しいですが戦闘は、シンプルでありながら手に汗握るものです。2ボタンのタッチ操作でここまで面白い戦闘を作り出すのは素晴らしいです。難易度もゲームに慣れていない方でも挫折する事なくクリア出来るでしょう。
やり込み要素は少なですが、王道RPG(？)といった具合なので良いと思います。

・魅力
何よりこのゲームの魅力は、グラフィックとジム・ガスリーさんの音響です。イヤホン推奨。
雰囲気ゲーと称せば月並みですが、絵と音がマッチして、言葉よりもゲームの世界観と物語を作り上げています。素晴らしい出来です。歩いているだけで楽しめたり、好きな構図を探してスクショを撮るだけでも楽しめます。

・翻訳、ローカライズ
レビューで、いくつか翻訳が酷いと称されていますが、これは制作元のSuperbrothersさんの意向です。ストーリーがシリアスで重い分、コミカルで砕けたものにしたそうです。登場人物たちはアーキタイプというキャラクターなどからも分かる通り、私たちプレイヤー寄りの近しい存在であるようです。どこか異世界のような雰囲気のゲームですがキャラクターに親しみを感じる事でのめり込みやすくいいと思います。
翻訳と声に須田剛一さんを抜擢したのは流石と言うところでしょうかw ASAPをナルハヤって訳すのはセンスが光りますね。

このレビューをここまで読めてしまう貴方は、きっとこのゲームを楽しめると思いますよ。

### 5/5 — Абсолютный шедевр

*2019-07-27*

Играл в нее много лет назад и сейчас прохожу снова - игра великолепна!

### 5/5 — fantastic!!!!

*2017-01-19, version 1.16*

Please apply some Korean patches.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2016-10-19, version 1.16*

This is a very unique adventure. Highly recommend this if you're looking for an immersive story with some  good puzzles.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2016-09-19, version 1.15*

Totally worth buying if you love beautifully detailed 8-bit graphics, soothing meditative music, and long adventures with an enchanting yet straightforward storyline. Personally I like games with more adventuring and less fighting, but some may disagree. I bought the game hoping it would be a lot like the game Cave Story. Swords & Sworcery is way easier, but because it's a game app, the storyline and the mechanics of the game are way more simple and limited. 

The game has crashed on me twice, but it at least has saved the place in my game. I also like the fact that you don't have to save your place in the game before your character gets killed which is very convenient.
