Great reviews on steam just picked it up. Controls are great. Seems to be a huge world to explore judging by the YouTube walkthroughs. Only criticism is the colour and the size of the text on the inventory screens. Not great but played about 10 minutes. Loving it ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #3 ste86uk, Oct 27, 2022 Oh looks nice, I’ll be interested to hear more from you all but I thought it looked good when it got posted and then your post @psj3809 is really helpful. I’ll try check it out online over my break. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,972 722 113 England #4 psj3809, Oct 27, 2022 So far it’s a very polished game. Like I say some small fonts and that but might just be my eyes when I checked out the walkthrough there’s a ton of content and weapons to get. Quality game so far ste86uk likes this. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #5 ste86uk, Oct 27, 2022 @psj3809 Any idea how it works when you die? Are there things to unlock etc like Dead Cells or is it random each run with what you find or? I need to read more about it, just watched a few quick videos and it looks cool. Looks like Dead Cells a little but with more world and platformer stuff. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,972 722 113 England #6 psj3809, Oct 27, 2022 Last edited: Oct 27, 2022 Wel I was jumping and missed and fell on some spikes and it took me back again to the part where I was meant to do a longer jump. So you don’t go back far also it often says saved at the top when you play and there’s a few manual save spots also. The same machine I walked into just said save or teleport so you can probably jump to other areas nice story so far and like I say a ton of content it appears ste86uk likes this.

Thankfully I haven’t been tempted by the handful of $10 games that have come out recently. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #8 squarezero, Oct 27, 2022 To be clear, from what I’ve seen so far this is not a roguelike like Dead Cells. gaberaph, Charles Elwood Gay III, Talbs and 1 other person like this. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #9 ste86uk, Oct 27, 2022 Yeh I guess it sounds like some huge world story driven game? But lots of places to explore and says it has over 30 hours of content which sounds good. I’d probably have purchased it by now if it wasn’t for all the games I’ve already purchased recently…and I want Isle of Arrows next week. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,343 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #10 metalcasket, Oct 27, 2022 It’s not. Metroidvania all the way. Also, incredibly stunning. jkluk23, gaberaph, Charles Elwood Gay III and 2 others like this.

While the splash screen says “Controller Recommended”, it’s sadly missing support for Backbone controllers. I’m assuming it should work with normal PS and Xbox controllers though. And the touch controls aren’t bad at all. Loving the atmosphere and story so far. I’ve opened up three “toilets” aka teleporters/save points so far. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #12 ste86uk, Oct 27, 2022 How are touch controls if it says controller recommended?

Of course, games like this (2D metroidvanias / action-platformers) will always feel better with a controller (IMO) no matter how good the touch controls may be. ste86uk likes this. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #14 squarezero, Oct 28, 2022 BTW Just tried the game with my Backbone and it works fine. Not sure what’s going on on your end . Charles Elwood Gay III and Anotherkellydown like this.

Sorry for the misinformation. When I tried it briefly my guy ran right and I couldn’t control anything. I think I bent the lightning connection a couple weeks ago and it hasn’t been the same since. I’ll try it again when I get home. Thanks for the heads up man squarezero likes this.

Should we leave this thread here until a pre-order pops up and then either close it (and reopen on release) or move it to Upcoming? psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,972 722 113 England #18 psj3809, Oct 28, 2022 Move it to upcoming Glad I got it early. Really enjoying it and love it when some great games like this appear on the App Store amongst the freemium crap. Gives me hope ! Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,236 540 113 #19 Brightsiderus, Oct 28, 2022 Upcoming. The release is planned on second half of December ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #20 ste86uk, Oct 28, 2022 Damn sad I missed out on that, although I do have more than enough to keep me going. Although if it’s ready why wait to release it? It doesn’t seem like the kind of game that’s ever going to be top of paid sales charts no matter how much they advertise it. Which is sad to say but it’s very rare to see on my store. Show Ignored Content Page 1 of 2 1 2 Next > Share This Page Tweet Your name or email address: Password: Forgot your password? Stay logged in
