Brilliant game
…but the controls leave a little to be desired, as many other people have mentioned. Having a simple joystick input on the gun button for aiming would go a LONG way to alleviating this issue… Kinda surprised and somewhat disappointed that it was never added.
surprisingly clunky
for the cost, and with all the praise you would expect smooth controls, but many of the combat and platforming challenges are more luck than skill because the controls are just not up to the challenge of the game.
it’s also one of those games where you need to do very specific tasks but there is no text anywhere so you’re on your own to figure out what and how to do.
Its stupid
Its a wast of money
Crazy good game
A top quality Zelda style game with great gameplay and unique graphics style look.
Truly awesome
It’s one of the games of all time. Amazing. Just try it. 24 stars
???
Lets not use any words and explain nothing to new players, don’t worry they’ll understand the game eventually??
Also no controller support, REFUND PLEASE
Outstanding top down action RPG!
If you enjoyed Link to the Past on the SNES, you’ll love this. This dark tale is a true retro delight & everything from the overall art style, playability, music & level design work beautifully together. Highly recommend it & look forward to more from this studio ^^
Great game.
This games is great. One of my best games so far.
Pros: great graphics, great game play and all that
Cons: if u can add the option in the next update to have fixed joystick that would be great. Also if possible to optimise the game for the iPad mini 6, just with it not filling all the screen that’s all.
Over all the game looks amazing and the games play is great keep up with the good work. If anyone is reading this, I would recommend this game to anyone.
AWESOME
this game is the best game ever I like that it is free and the controls even the music and the characters this game Is a game parents for kids the age of six to the age of eighteen
It doesn’t run well on my iPad
I have the standard “iPad” range of iPad (A1893) which is relatively up to date. Sadly this game runs poorly whenever there’s more than 2-3 enemies on screen, which is often. Everything slows and the game lags. A shame because the combat is designed to be reactive and needs to run smoothly to work well.
