Ratings and Reviews
Not perfect, but big kudos for innovation
I give 5 stars because it's still better than most "5 star" paid-for-reviews apps on the app store (read: 3/4 of the app store). Fun controls, ambitious story. A bit too ambitious perhaps - frame rate chugs nearly everywhere on iphone 5, and some of the voice acting is pretty bad, though the dialogue itself is pretty good. The main character's voice acting is probably the worst of all, sounds like a dev decided he wanted to be an actor. Other voice actors, such as the computer, are at a professional level, so it's a bit puzzling that the voice you'll hear most is the most poorly acted in the game. Once you figure out the combat its really fun. And it's possible the 5s can keep up with the engine, but I havent seen. Anyway, with the lack of quality rpg's on the app store, this is a no-brainer. If you have problems with the combat, jump in the arena for a minute and it will click in no time.
Fun game, but a bit buggy
I really enjoyed this game on my iPad 4th gen back in 2013 when it launched, and Aaron Ruiz Moora - the technical director of the game - was friends with me on Twitter. However, upon playing it again on my iPhone 6S I encountered a game breaking bug during the warehouse stealth level in Chapter 3 where the game would crash and delete my save files continously making the whole process very annoying - I had to switch from my iPhone 6S on 10.3.1 to my iPhone 5S on 8.1.1 to make this app work after I found out it hasn't been updated since November of 2013. After I switched to my 5S, everything worked fine except for my SteelSeries Nimbus MFi Controller as I had to end up switching to touch controls which confused me at first. Luckily the game didn't overstay its welcome and the length of it was perfect, and a really fun game too so I'll go for 4 Stars rating here! I highly recommend it if your phone or iPad's old enough to run it flawlessly as it's a fantastic game with a great 3D open world and powers to use.
the new iOS ARPG standard
Fippin' amazing, and by just 7 individuals!!! The defining moment for action/adventure RPGs on multi-touch. Bioshock-lite meets Devil May Cry with only a tad less flair and nearly the polish, for a few well-deserved bucks, easily worth twice its price. Sports some pretty phenomenal character animation.
The battle control scheme takes getting used to, but I hope it becomes the standard touch combat system because it's so simple and seamless that if you're paying attention to what you're doing it blends precision and versatility. It's a crime so many of this app's negative reviews are for control when it solves all the touchscreen issues for combat so brilliantly if you just give it the chance to sink in!
Buy this so we can see the other 2 episodes (devs say there's multitouch special moves in store...)!
Sound design, music, voiceacting and script are all OK, environments sparse though well-textured, but the animation, story, and combat easily carry it.
Flawless framerate on 5th-gen Touch.
This positively deserves to be bought in droves. Please, reward this landmark iOS-specific effort—it shan't disappoint!
