Can I get it back?! ### 3/5 — It’s a fun game but has flaws *2023-07-01, version 1.1.1* The biggest issue that I face is my screen has a spaz attack whenever I play it but it doesn’t have very often only when things get super crazy ### 4/5 — Great game, quest bug lets it down *2022-09-28* Great fun and good for sitting on buses - it really lets you zone out until your stop. It’s had a bug for at least a couple of years where certain quests can never be fulfilled: winning with the ricochet perk is one. I saw someone report this on the Steam forums for the PC version. Would be a solid 5/5 if that were fixed. ### 4/5 — Fiest impressions review *2020-04-21* Wow, I really like this game! The neon-like aesthetics appeal to me and enemy designs look really cool and are easy enough to spot in the heat of combat. I also like the wide variety of power-ups, perks, and weapons to add even more variety. So nice having a full priced game so as to never deal with micro transactions (only one DLC to buy) like artificial play time limits and currenxy to unlock things. Only thing keeping me from giving it a 5/5 is the sudden frame-rate drop when you enter the mech or start a mission (at least on my iPhone 8 plus). ### 4/5 — 재미있습니다, 다만.... *2020-03-23* 아이클라우드 지원이 안되어서 아이폰으로 하다가 아이패드로 하면 다시 처음부터 해야 하는게 아쉽습니다 아이클라우드 지원만 된다면 아이폰과 아이패드로 번갈아가며 게임을 즐기는데 더욱 재미있을것 같습니다 ### 4/5 — Love the game, tweak a few things *2020-03-06* I Both love and hate this game ,reasons why: I’m never looking where the health bar should be and the health bar runs out too quickly. The enemy swarm too fast and some of guns seemed NERFED. I think there should be an easy and a hard mode. There should be a Facebook connection so the game is able to be played between apps. I have two different games going right now, one on my iPhone and one on my iPad. You should be able to teleport any distance you want. Thanks for making an addicting game that I enjoy. Yours kindly, PL ### 5/5 — Это пять *2020-02-01* Отличный шутемапчик в лучших традициях ! ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-01-31* Good, fun game. Repeat playability. Wish there were more maps though. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2020-01-01* I have been playing this game for a while now. All in all it’s a fantastic game! But a lot of the enemies could use some balancing especially with the sheer randomness of perks. Spawns of Dagon can 5-6 shot you with their charge which unless they are on screen you don’t know are there, making it difficult to not get hit. Yes there is your teleport but it’s hard to harness the reaction timing of a god. Secondly is the flying polyp which can drop your health by 1/4 if you pass through it, now again teleport and they can’t do much but the sheer damage their beam does should be brought down a bit for the occasional time you can’t teleport. The eldritch bosses need a big nerf. I get it it’s a boss it’s suppose to be hard but I spent 4 days, roughly 2 hours each day trying to get past Lord of Arkham on the normal plane! I’m not going to say I’m a trash player but I’m by no means a god player. Next is enemy animations. Every time I get close to an enemy they are able to attack me long before their animation even shows them hitting me. For example the dagons, they hit me when their arms start moving and not when their claws actually reach a point in which it makes sense that I would get hit. In an enemy hell type game, animation dodging is important and you can’t do that when your enemy can hit you before it’s animation starts. Finally is the controls. Personally I would recommend 2 buttons near the aim pad. One for teleport and one for your active ability. I can’t tell how many times I couldn’t teleport cause the game simply would only register as me wanting to move, same with the ability and aiming. Also there is a thing where if I choose a perk, the aim will act as my movement for a second or two making it difficult to get back in the fight ### 3/5 — 面白いがタッチ操作の操作性に難あり *2019-11-12* iPad Pro 11インチでプレイしています。 ゲーム内容としてはテスラがショットガンなどで大量の敵を一掃していく爽快なゲームだと思います。 弱い武器やアビリティしか出ない場合は数の暴力に蹂躙されることもあり、運要素が強い部分もありますが、リトライも容易なのであまり気になりません。 ただ、右バーチャルスティックとレベルアップボタン、ワープボタンが隣接しており、ボタンを押したつもりがスティック操作になってしまう場面が多々ありました。 ワープボタンに関しては敵を突っ切ってワープするつもりが歩いて突っ込んでしまう、という被ダメージ量の多いこのゲームでは致命的な状況が発生することもしばしば起こってしまい、プレイスキルとは関係ない死亡を誘発しています。 また、予期せぬ方向に発砲してしまうことがよくあります(テスラの向き依存？)。 弾数の少ないショットガンにとってはかなり脅威です。 この辺りの操作性を改善してくれると個人的に星4以上のゲームになると思います。 なお、PS4のコントローラーを繋げてプレイしたところ、上記のバグ(？)もなく、操作性は良好に感じました。 長文失礼しました。 ### 5/5 — 돈이 전혀 안 아까움 *2019-11-09* 4900원 dlc까지 구매해야 총이랑 초능력 특성을 완벽하게 즐길 수 있지만, 돈이 전혀 안 아까움. 본사가 옛날에 만든 게임인 크림슨랜드를 재밌게 했다면 이것도 분명히 꿀잼! ### 5/5 — Wonderfully addictive game *2019-09-13* Such a fun game! Beautiful graphics. Great musical score. Addictive game play. The only downside is that the touchscreen controllers sometimes aren’t responsive. Playing with a controller is better ### 5/5 — Great for a quick mental relaxation break at work *2019-09-13* I will say this is just what I was looking for. Easy to learn, not a huge time commitment, and completely entertaining. I definitely got my money’s worth on this game ### 4/5 — Fun, but one problem. *2019-07-02* I’ll keep it short and sweet. It’s a fun game, and I love the HP Lovecraft/Tesla mix of it all. Only problem I have, is the movement and shooting controls. When I move my character the gun look around which is fine, but when I move the other joystick button it moves the gun around as well and I completely miss my enemies cuz the 2 movement buttons clash with each other. Only problem I have with it so far, so please fix the controls. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very difficult *2022-05-21, version 1.1.1* Game is too hard and there is no way to adjust difficulty ### 1/5 — Not good *2020-08-08, version 1.0.7* All my progress in game one day just disappeared.I wrote to the support but they ignored me. ### 1/5 — Ständige Abstürze *2020-08-06, version 1.0.7* Für fast 10.- Euro erwarte ich von einer App, daß sie nicht ständig abstürzt. Bei Leve Eldrich in Dagon Town passiert das ständig. Die Story ist einfach und wiederholt sich ständig. Jedenfalls kann ich es so nicht zu Ende spielen....Ärgerlich.... ### 1/5 — No update? *2020-06-28, version 1.0.7* We need new maps and new zombies lol ### 1/5 — На iPad совершенно не играбельно *2019-08-02* Игра изначально сделана для ПК и мышки. Когда будет много монстров на экране, управлять не возможно. Персонаж залипает. ### 1/5 — Тормозит после последнего обновления. *2019-07-05* Стал сильно тормозить на iPad 2017 ### 1/5 — Would love to play this but... *2019-06-26, version 1.0.5.4* On my iPhone XR the display is minimized to the bottom left corner of the screen and the touch screen controls don’t work, so the game is thus far unplayable. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling and restarting the iPhone as well, but until this is fixed I can’t in good conscience give this a good review! ### 1/5 — Postage Stamp Sized *2019-06-25, version 1.0.5.4* iPhone XR. Latest iOS. 12.3.1. Screen shrinks to one fourth of my phone on the bottom left. Is not responsive. iPhone on/off doesn't help. Would probably enjoy the game otherwise. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY, DOES NOT RUN *2019-06-04, version 1.0.5.4* **Update: game no longer moves beyond main menu, completely unplayable** The controls (especially the right side trigger) are so poorly calibrated the game is UNPLAYABLE. The App Store will not contemplate a refund, so it's $9 down the drain. The game's producer, 10tons, has not responded to my email sent a week ago. ### 1/5 — 시작 시 인트로 중에 갑자기 꺼짐 *2019-02-02* 게임이 재밌는지 재미없는지 알 수도 없음ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 공짜앱이면 모르겠는데 돈주고 산 앱이 이러니 황당하네 이래서 리뷰가 없는 겜은 사면 안되는거구나ㄷㄷ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good but! *2025-12-20, version 1.1.1* No updates yet! what of waste of money. Can I get it back?! ### 5/5 — Epic! *2024-04-03* (Update 2) Also there's something wrong with teleporting - it just won't work at seemingly random times (though usually it's when I'm right next to multiple monsters, and no it's not because I've used up my allotment of teleports) (Update 4/1/24) Downloaded to play again after not having played for a while. Still prefer this one over Tesla Force. Two problems - the bloom effect is causing flashes I'm pretty sure didn't use to happen (so I disabled them as it was annoying), and turning off phone vibrations in the options isn't working, which I'm pretty sure is an Apple iOS violation (as I think Apple requires it be an option for people with disabilities). I realize this game is old, but please fix! (end update). This is such an awesome game! Even after completing all three planes, I still go back and replay areas. Great graphics, music, and challenging dual stick shooter action! More content please! I'm a huge Lovecraft fan, so I'd love to see more creatures, etc from his mythos. ### 5/5 — Epic! *2024-04-01* (Update 4/1/24) Downloaded to play again after not having played for a while.

Отличный аркадный шутер с прокачкой и тонной уровней. ### 5/5 — Game Center? *2020-09-28* THIS GAME IS FUN. Just got it. Love it. I wish the auto-targeting was a little crisper but that’s a minor complaint. I see the game supports Game Center but when I tried picking up the game on my phone my progress was otherwise completely separate from the game I started on my iPad. ### 5/5 — O melhor jogo que tenho em meu IPad. *2020-09-16, version 1.0.7* Na real, como pode um jogo tão simples ser extremamente viciante quando se pega a manha ele não te deixa parar de jogar pois você vai querer completar as missões e adquirir melhorias. Pra mim um dos melhores. Top das galáxias, vale apena cada centavo pago. Recomendadíssimo. ### 5/5 — Obra maestra. *2020-03-28, version 1.0.7* Divertido, adictivo y educativo... 👍 ### 5/5 — Muito bom . *2020-03-16, version 1.0.7* Ótimo Jogo . Bons gráficos e jogabilidade . Recomendo a compra . 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
