### 3/5 — Abandonware

*2025-04-28*

Weil Hades so gut läuft werden die alte Spiele einfach ignoriert. Schade!

### 2/5 — This game just isn’t smooth

*2024-10-23, version 2.0*

Very creative and interesting as well as beautiful game but it stutters constantly whenever the screen is panning. Animations are smooth but for some reason whenever you move the background stutters and jerks. Doesn’t do this on the steamdeck or switch.

### 2/5 — Играйте, но не на IOS.

*2024-01-07*

Игра супер, но порт не обновляли кучу лет: 30 фпс и чёрные рамки мешают получать удовольствие. Лучше уж пройти игру на другой платформе.

### 4/5 — Excelente

*2023-11-07, version 2.0*

Es un juego excelente hermosos gráficos pero ya tiene tiempo que no lo actualizan es muy bueno pero deberían actualizarlo y no dejarlo en el olvido para que las nuevas generaciones la conozcan

### 4/5 — Una joya pero…

*2023-05-22, version 2.0*

El juego es muy bueno de lo mejor, pero no entiendo porq no lo han actualizado a pantallas modernas de iPad es molesto jugarlo con márgenes, no cuesta nada si lo hicieron con bastion

### 3/5 — Update

*2022-12-30, version 2.0*

Please update for new iphone & ipad model, resolution and UI still pretty old.

### 3/5 — A game bug?

*2022-12-28, version 2.0*

I think there is a trouble with the game, because I’ve reached lvl 4 and mc’s sword tells her to go down to the canal, but I can’t pass through the arc where I came from to get there, it’s like my character runs into a wall.
I don’t know if that’s a bug related to updates, but I hope there is a way to fix it, this game looks fun and I really want to continue it.

### 4/5 — Stuck at level 30!

*2022-11-09*

Je viens de me décider à terminer cet excellent jeu. Malheureusement au niveau 30, le niveau max, je me retrouve coincé : aucun gain de passage de niveau, et une impossibilité de quitter la fenêtre m’annonçant le niveau 30. Je suis donc coincé, toute réinitialisation du jeu me renvoyant au point de contrôle précédent. Une étoile en,mois, pour ce jeu au demeurant excellent, tant par ses graphismes, sa jouabilité, son atmosphère et sa bande son.

### 3/5 — Nicht für iPad mini 6 optimiert

*2022-10-10*

Das Spiel selbst sieht wunderschön aus, aber leider wird beim iPad mini 6 sehr viel Platz durch breite schwarze Balken auf beiden Seiten verschenkt.

### 5/5 — Phenomenally Flawed

*2022-04-26, version 2.0*

This game is inches from perfection. An excellent developer makes another excellent game. The character design, animation, voice acting, music, sound effects etc are all amazing. I love this game. The problems for me are the battle system and how new moves are added. 

The battle system is a blend of real-time combat and tactical combat. Real-time is straight forward but animations leave you vulnerable. When you go with the tactical, you route the path you walk and your move selection. The problem is your choices aren’t guaranteed to work. I don’t need to be playing an all powerful character, I ask that the system make sense. 

When you level up, you may be prompted to choose between to moves for your arsenal. You get to read a description that may not explain how you’ve improved. Also, those choices will modify something you already have but I haven’t seen the difference. 

The mysterious story will keep me playing. Hopefully, the battle system starts to make sense.

### 5/5 — Exquisite

*2022-03-20, version 2.0*

Every detail of this game is exquisite!

### 1/5 — Garbage performance

### 5/5 — Another amazing supergiant story!

*2024-06-11, version 2.0*

### 5/5 — Supergiant 4 life!!!! (Game đáng từng đồng xu hột gạo các bác ei)

*2023-05-19, version 2.0*

The graphics, the soundtrack, the mechanics, they all come together beautifully in this masterpiece from Supergiant Games. I enjoyed all 4 games (so far) from Supergiant, they are all wonderfully crafted. If you have the chance please check out all of them.

### 5/5 — SUPER DUPER AWESOME GAME!!

*2023-03-13, version 2.0*

Please update this game and create more level this game was so freakin good i love it

### 5/5 — 雰囲気がいい

*2023-02-16*

ジャイアントゲームスがだしているだけあって面白いし絵が綺麗。
この世界観が好きでアクションRPGが好きな人はやる価値あると思います。
ストーリーは短めですが、一周では全ての強化などは解除出来ないので周回前提のゲームなのかなと思います。
強くてニューゲームが出来るので強くなって闘うとまた楽しい。
スキルの組み合わせは色々出来るのでそう言うの考えるのが好きな人は楽しいと思います。
操作はタッチと普通のがあるのも良い点です。
これがスマホでも出来るならハデスも出せそうですが、運営さん。期待してます。

### 5/5 — Нет адаптации новых девайсов.
