I've never heard of this before, so unless someone takes one for the team i dont think it's going to get much attention here. touchy85 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2015 1,616 1 38 #5 touchy85, May 9, 2015 the devs made games like this before they made The Barbarian: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id621833259 https://itunes.apple.com/app/id622954723 looks like I am not going to spend 10 bucks coolpepper43 Ć°ĀĀĀ® Spam Police Ć°ĀĀĀ Aug 31, 2012 4,615 7 38 On the toilet #6 coolpepper43, May 9, 2015 The price is only too much for a game we don't really know much about. If this is a great deep arpg it would be totally worth it. It says it has MFI support and its open world. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,714 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #7 squarezero, May 9, 2015 I took the plunge.

Do you want to get no sales? Because that's how you get no sales. Edit: there is a gameplay video on the App Store, for some reason it didn't display it in the touch arcade app. Kinda short, but the game looks pretty decent, graphics-wise. spader623 Well-Known Member Jan 18, 2014 479 0 0 #14 spader623, May 9, 2015 Very few pictures. Crappy description. Steep price. Crappy other apps. HAHAHAHAHAHA no. I'm not an idiot. Brrobotix Well-Known Member Oct 24, 2011 1,524 0 0 Under your bed #15 Brrobotix, May 9, 2015 Shadows look really great at least. Gameplay doesn't seem amazing, as of watching the short gameplay video they have on their website. Gonna wait to hear more about this, but I'm not too excited as of yet. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,714 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #16 squarezero, May 9, 2015 Don't have the energy to put down full impressions, but I can say that this is not a rip-off or scam. In fact, I would say that it is exactly what it claims to be: an indie action RPG. Whether that's as a positive or a negative, I leave to you. There are some nice touches and some very generic/amateur ones. I haven't played enough to see whether it's worth the "premium" price, but so far I'm intrigued. redribbon Well-Known Member Jun 11, 2010 2,799 53 48 entepreanur,programmer #17 redribbon, May 9, 2015 Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel geno11233 Well-Known Member Nov 29, 2013 1,054 0 0 #18 geno11233, May 9, 2015 I thought the App Store video looked pretty choppy/laggy but that video looks awesome.

Thanks for posting this video up. It looks kinda like Dungeon Seige on the PC, and those shadows are really nice!
