I was actually hesitant with the "EPISODE 1" thing which always worries me but in the past thread, Gwarmaxx assured me it's pretty long so far. And the impressions are good. I can't resist that! The 2d art looks great as well.

At first, the atmosphere is great. Artwork, BGM are fantastic Second, the action part is very fun to play. I wanted to enjoy story, so I chose the relax mode. The story is also funny! 5 mins after starting, I laughed out loud The character voiceovers are all famous people in Japan. Below is a bit of the list. *Yusuke Kobayashi(Arslan) *Naomi Wakabayashi(Idolm@ster) *Bridcutt Sarah Emi(Haruchika) No MFi support sadly. EDIT: According to squarezero, it is full screen on iPhoneX but you could see side border. So having notch is no problem. EDIT: Sorry for my poor vocabulary... I just wanted to tell this game's first impression aconfusedkender, andsoitgoes, Son of Anarchy and 1 other person like this. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,535 1,064 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #6 squarezero, May 23, 2019 The game uses a decorative border, so the notch is not a problem.

Really cannot understand why no mfi when it is implemented in the other versions of the game... so sad DTK likes this. sakara214ever Well-Known Member May 10, 2012 1,260 168 63 #8 sakara214ever, May 23, 2019 Is this iPhone X full screen? squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,535 1,064 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #9 squarezero, May 23, 2019 Yes and no. It’s designed for the iPhone X screen, but uses a border. solarnya and sakara214ever like this. sharfaust Well-Known Member Jul 1, 2013 339 75 28 #10 sharfaust, May 23, 2019 It’s finally here!

Videos look super polished Skall Well-Known Member Oct 25, 2009 500 60 28 #13 Skall, May 24, 2019 I checked the mfi in a last hope and i do confirm that the button mapping is not done properly. The character can go left right with the left stick but to attack you need to use the start button for example. Very frustrating... Gambler and DTK like this.

It’s Japanese so maybe for many people, this wouldn’t be the spoiler. Most of it contains musical. Hope it helps DTK Well-Known Member Aug 22, 2014 344 12 18 Marketing Berlin Germany #16 DTK, May 25, 2019 I love those 2D platform-side scrolling games, if there are still RPG elements, for example, by killing monsters, you can collect coins to trade in weapons, gear, and potions shops. A skill tree would be awesome! All this as a premium game, would be fantastic! But there are no RPG elements here, if so, which ones? squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,535 1,064 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #17 squarezero, May 26, 2019 This is very much an RPG. The character doesn’t level up, but you get new gear that improves your attack damage and HP and give you new special abilities. There is a story and a central quest, as well as side quests, NPC, etc. DTK likes this.

In addition, the game is new and there are supposed to be more episodes. After all, they do not have to have exactly the same style of play, and maybe even more RPG elements will be added. I would be thrilled! The graphics are great u. there is no IAP L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,391 398 83 #19 L.Lawliet, May 29, 2019 I haven't gotten super far yet (busy with lots of things) but spent some hours and this game is gorgeous! The gameplay is decent, it's not incredible but it's not bad. However the story and dialogue has me hooked, it's QUALITY imo. I smiled and giggled while playing, and I also felt that each character was a unique individual and not "hollow". I definitely recommend this game if you're into a good quality RPG/action game. If you just want gameplay and hate story this may not be for you. It seems there are many of these people on Steam / forums that complained that the story got in the way of them playing lol. Story is really important for me to get invested in the game, and if I wanted just to play some mindless action game there's plenty of those on the app store for free. I got curious and looked up chapter 2 and there's so many more features coming in that one. I really want that one on iOS too. I hope people will buy this and show them that they should port chapter 2 on iOS. However chapter 2 is in early access / not released on Steam so it may be years, considering that Chapter 1 was on early access many years ago >_> This is the sleeper hit port on iOS that I wish TouchArcade would cover. Many of these high quality gems go unnoticed sadly. Gambler, Solarclipse, solarnya and 1 other person like this.
