Sprites are gorgeous! Insanely detailed with fluid animations. You can tell they are masterclass in term of old school aesthetics. Gameplay is also amazing. Responsive 2D platformer. This one feels even more megaman with it's vertical design. My main problem is that it's a rogue like. Very few rogue likes caught my attention, but unfortunately this is not the one. I would vastly prefer a typical level designed game. I beat it in 2 hours and I don't want to play it again. Good thing I have it through apple arcade. If I had bought it on the switch I would be extremally disappointed. Dig is a solid rental. But Shovel Knight with it's 4 campaigns is superior.
Don’t get the hate for the touch controls on this. Been having a blast with the game…without a controller.
Holy crap you are insanely good at this game. I’m roughly 4 hours deep at yet to see World 3. Also I hate how people calling it 16-bit and old-school. I get it’s a comparison to Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove being 8-bit inspired but it feels reductive to the quality of visuals in a lot of ways. The Messenger is a great example of 8 to 16 bit, because it is SUPPOSED to be. Dig is not emulating 16-bit, not even in a rose tinted way like the original Shovel Knight. The crisp, detailed pixel art never could’ve existed before PSX, and never would’ve existed until around 10 years ago. This looks leagues above old school. sorry about the rant, just wanted to get it out of my system. Didn’t mean to target you, it’s just the one bit on the discourse around this game I don’t like.
So question for everyone, is iCloud syncing working at all? I just tried reinstalling, nothing. Fresh install on my Apple TV, still nothing. Each device is forcing a new profile. Really frustrating. Edit: oh goody it reset my entire bloody game, how is it so hard to get something so commonplace working? Really annoyed now
I turned on couple of accessabiltiy options. If you turn everything on, you can beat the game on your first try.
Had a few full resets!! Absolutely infuriating - there’s a very public review about the data being reset too (though still with 4*) company definitely needs to get an urgent patch out…
Thank you! At the very least we can suffer in sympathy together! It's really weird, as Apple Arcade stuff seems to REQUIRE iCloud syncing, and clearly it "kind of" works, just only to flippin delete, not actually sync hopefully it gets fixed soon but I'm not going to play it again until that happens. Also their support has been silent, I've tweeted at them and emailed their support, silence.
Update is live. Personally I didn't have any problems, but hopefully it will fix the save file issue.
Same here. Didn't experience any issues whatsoever myself, but let's hope this update fixes things for the rest of you. Great game. Definitely one of my favorites under Apple Arcade from last few months.
Nope, sure didn't. Now I have no save file AND iCloud syncing isn't working. Support hasn't replied, they've ignored me on twitter. I'm legitimately annoyed.
