Dark Raider 12+

I’ve been waiting for this game for quite a long time. The only problems I see are that the translations are a bit off and the sound is a bit lacking. The only big problem I have is that the screen doesn’t fit the entire screen on my iPhone XR, it fits most of the screen but leaves a little black bar on each side, I hope that this can be fixed soon! But all in all this is a fun hack n’ slash game, personally I love the graphics!

What the hell happened with this game? Have been waiting on it for over a month. The release date kept getting pushed back. Thought it was going to get cancelled. Then it comes out on 4/5/20. Was eager to play it. Any pleasure to be had from downloading it was short lived.

This doesn’t feel like a finished product. It almost feels like a proof of concept. The graphics and some of the attack animations are nice. However, the combat has no balance. Button mashing is the only technique that works. The translations are incorrect. You have to press AND hold the ! to destroy the altar, not keep pressing ! as instructed. Half the time the game gets stuck on the first boss. There are no additional techniques to learn. No items or equipment to buy. There doesn’t even appear to be a pause button. This feels very pre-alpha.

Then there’s the fact this has apparently been removed from the App Store. If you type in Dark Raider, this doesn’t come up at all. If you go to Triniti’s App Store page, Dark Raider’s no longer listed. I think the dev or Triniti Interactive realized Dark Raider is not ready for release. To those of us who managed to snag this, during the brief window it was offered, mazel toz. To those who worked on this title, get your crap together! Make your game “whole” so you can be proud of it and we can enjoy it as you intended us to.

This game has lots of potential. However, at the moment it’s extremely hard and a grind fest. Technically I wouldn’t mind this if it were a free to play game, however you have a purchase the full game. Not to mention the IAPs have little to no description. I purchased the full game and warrior set however nothing on my warrior changed. Ps I forgot to mention they have a diamond currency for relics. For a chance to roll a relic it cost 10 diamonds for 1 roll. After beating the first boss I got 2 diamonds. At this rate you will beat the game before you have enough diamonds to roll for relics. In the game’s current state it will get deleted from my device within the first week.
