    Likewise.

    Can someone post a link to the AppStore? For some reason I quite often can't find new games when they first come out.

    Edit : there's a link here : http://www.slidetoplay.com/story/big-game-night-ravensword-shadowlands-and-more

    Downloading now...

    So I'm going to ask the question, is the game fun? Yes it looks great, but how does it compare to Aralon or even the first Ravensword? Heck, how good is it compared to elder scrolls games?

    Thanks for the info this is going to be a really long 4 hours

    Judging by the videos it looks more like a 100% improve over the first ravensword so if you like that one you should like this one

    Now comparing with TES i think thats it out of proportion now even thought mobile games have come a long way

    The game looks and feel great.

    Two things though: in the intro you did spell kingdom kindgom and please make it so we can adjust the view/camera/facing BELOW the buttons on the screen as well as above (guessing the space is saved for later buttons, but surely the bottom right corner doesn't need to be?). Having to move my finger all the way up to adjust this feels arkward and distracting. At least make the sensitivity even higher then (yes I have it cranked all the way up).

    Good start though. Seems promising.

    Now back to playing. :)

    Game Impressions

    so, here are my impressions :)

    i was just about to give up on IOS gaming, mostly beacuse of the control misery in various games. Have tried many games on my i4, but finished like 2.

    Then came this gem. Upon starting the game it is clear that so much effort has been put into this game. Interior design is moody, spent 2 minutes near a fireplace just to listen to the music before venturing into the forest again.
    Ahh, the music. Totally raises the gameplay value.

    I welcome the doble-tap autorun thing, and the fact that i dont have to "swipe up" to run forward just place my finger on the screen. Camera rotation is good in TPS and FPS mode too. Combat is fluid, and fun.
    The full screen map with 3D elements looks nice. This game would look great on an iPad mini, someone should make a video soon, please.

    Areas are not boring, elevation (in the forest) makes running around fun, and not boring.

    One question, when I open the map do I see all of the areas, or is there another "island"?

    Ohh, and i can confirm that it runs well on the iPhone4, sometimes small slowdowns happen, but nothing, absolutely nothing which is gamebraking.
    This app is hard to put down, the last time i felt something like this was when i first played games on my device...so you can imagine how good this game is.

    On the other hand, there should be a bit more "areas" around, like the troll cave, etc... (5/5)

    Oh. My. God.

    Just played half an hour and really must go to bed - but what a great game so far. Controls are good (apart from the camera swipe being a bit awkward restricted to the top half of the screen), graphics are stunning and it really feels like playing an Elder Scrolls game. Top notch production values and a huge improvement on aralon and the original ravensword.

    Looks absolutely gorgeous on my ipad mini. Wow...

    Have to second the opinion on the camera control, I need to be able to use the bottom right square inches for the camera, been playing for 10 minutes and already finding it annoying having to use the top of the screen, don't get me wrong the game is amazing just don't want it to be let down by a (what seems) simple control issue

    Otherwise the game is fabulous, a real testament to ios gaming, worth the wait.

    agree, also moving the jump/attack button in settings would be awesome :p

    First impressions after playing for the first hour or so. (iPad 3) The game looks fantastic, runs smoothly and feels great all round, apart from one thing... as others have said, the controls for looking around need to extend to the bottom-right of the screen. It feels really awkward and unintuitive having to reach up to the top of the iPad to look around. Other than that, excellent game so far.
     
  20. Wow, so many threads in so little time. Starting to see some impressions, wow, hopefully the hype matches the gameplay. Coolness.
