Most fun action platformer I've seen in quite some time. This takes the best elements of Devious Dungeon mixed with Swordigo's gameplay to make one heck of an awesome game! Super tight controls and gorgeous graphics! Amazing little gem... Play this!!!
The game looks great, but there is an annoying bug where if you remap the A/B buttons to be a bit closer together then B will fire when A is clearly being pressed. This is on an iPad 3, and it basically makes the game unplayable for me (the buttons are too far apart for me by default on iPad). I really hope they can fix this soon, because otherwise it seems like a nice game. EDIT: Got a reply from Gelato games; it looks like this issue happens when you configure the buttons diagonally (i.e B is higher than A, which is my preferred setup on iPad for ergonomic reasons). The workaround for now is to keep the buttons aligned vertically or horizontally. There should be a fix coming in the next update.
Only played for about an hour so far (level 1-11). I had a feeling this was going to be great and now I can say without a doubt it is. Love the hidden crystals and chests to find, and the weapons, armor, and relics to buy with in-game currency. Not much else to add because everyone beat me to the punch. I've got a long way to go but I'm gonna enjoy the ride!
I don't mind this getting GOTW it's even better than Phantom Rift I find. I'd always put Dragon Quest games first but don't mind this one getting it. Somehow I think Phantom Rift will get it but I find this much more enjoyable.
Apologies if this has been asked, but.... Does the armor have any benifits or is it cosmetic? At .99 this is a steal....well worth $4.99 even
Awesome isn't it? I'll be very upset if this doesn't get the award this week. It's just way ahead of the other offerings. This dev can make terrific games. Congrats to the dev. Just awesome!!! 10/5
Just as I imagined, a great game that can't be fully enjoyed because of virtual controls. Missed attacks/jumps because fingers arent always alligned to buttons. Sure you can move buttons any where you want, but still happens. Still gave you a great rating in Appstore! iCade support needed!
Really ? Maybe you are just a bit anti-virtual controls Dont get me wrong it took me a while to get used to them when i found ios gaming but i've completed many many platformers the last few years. Virtual controls can work fine, the ones in this game are very easy to use. Had no issues
As there are no checkpoints this game becomes quite frustrating as you need to replay relatively long stretches. Currently I don't have the patience to continue. A shame. But can be patched in.
You have a minimum of three hearts... I have 4 now. Maybe they can add falling of screen to only take one heart but beyond that they difficulty level is pretty spot on for me.
Had to add to my complaint about controls after playing more. The circle art for the A and B buttons doesn't match the area that is active which is way larger than the art. I have A and B far apart, but B is still pressed when I slightly miss pressing A. Maybe have button sizes customizable as well. This is a great game, but virtual controls ruin great platformers Add support for bluetooth controllers like iCade...
The controls are great for this game, yes. but every platformer I have ever played plays better with my Icade! Especially Mikey Shorts/Hooks which I "3 starred" every level with my Icade. It's just more natural and your hands aren't all over your screen. If this can be added here, please do! This is truly an amazing amazing game even as is though!
Great to see this getting the love it deserves. Two questions, if anyone knows: Does armour do anything, or is it cosmetic? What are the quests mentioned in the statistics screen?
Really? That just defeats the difficulty of this game. Doesn't need checkpoints. This game is one of the best action platformers I played. The controls are spot-on and the graphics are so detailed. I love this little gem so much. Its really cool how you can buy different swords and relics. For 99ยข and no IAP, I suggest anyone that likes platformer games to give this a go. You will not be disappointed!! Yes, armor is just purely for looks. What are your guys favorite sword and relics? Mines is fire sword and the relic that shows enemy's HP.
A shining example of how iPhone games SHOULD be done. Low memory usage. Quick to jump in/out. Easy to pick up and play. Mild depth. Organized levels. NO IAP!!! $0.99 is a complete steal. Thank you for this. Sorry I stole your game! #
