| 2024-11-13 |  | | Nice looking retro action RPG with a fun story and plenty of content to keep yourself busy. I find myself disappointed with many premium rpg games with how little actual variety android games have. There's no real reason to bring or loot because it's all predetermined but is good for a 1 and done playthrough. |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FIX THE CONTROLS!! Please make the buttons removable, and able to change the size of them. The way they are now, SUCK! Make it like Grimvalor or Deadcells, where you can make them and map them how you want PLEASE. I know it's not that hard, just a bit of coding. I'll have no problem giving 5 stars then, but until then. Other then that decent game so far. |
| 2024-10-12 |  | | Good game idea, but the controls are really terrible. Would be better served with a simple 8-way directional model. Instead gets an incredibly wonky radial movement style which makes it extremely difficult to move or fire straight. NOT good for a game featuring chasms and turrets that need precision to avoid |
| 2024-09-08 |  | | Just beat the first boss and I'm hooked. Great game play loop, and really fun! Update: need to add in a save feature while out in the world. I've lost an hour worth of progress 3 times in a row now due to the game reloading and losing all progress up to that point. 4 stars till the update. |
| 2024-08-24 |  | | Great game apart from the total garbage controls. Id like to play the game myself, please. No, I dont want to turn my back on the enemies and stop fighting. No, I dont want to run into a pit and take damage. No, I dont want to stand there while Im being shot at. Thanks for assuming Im stupid. Fix the controls and make the attack button attack when I press it and Id give 5 stars. |
| 2024-05-17 |  | | (my first review seems to be missing, so rewriting) This game has a lot of polish; the gameplay & controls are about as good as you can get for a mobile game, and the graphics and music are just downright charming. My only issue is that you can't save in the middle of a run and come back later; you lose all of your progress in the current run if you do. This also means that if the game crashes in the middle of a run (which I've had twice now) you just lose everything from that run which is lame. |
| 2024-05-06 |  | | Think Zelda but you're an inventor wielding a wrench. You can find widgets across the level which help you in various ways, such as regain hearts or spark (mana). There are ancient vaults containing relics that you use in a short tutorial and then reverse engineer to gain blueprints which you then have to invent in order to use. The NPCs are cute and you can invest in their shops to upgrade them. I love this game, so addictive. My biggest complaint; it lags a bit later on and sometimes crashes. |
| 2024-02-23 |  | | Few bugs: it crashes randomly after some time playing, maybe 30-60 minutes, sometimes if you kill an enemy while standing on the forge hole when it opens the character walks off the screen and forces a restart. Honestly the crashing is the biggest issue, feels like a memory leak or something, usually preceded by some stuttering and frame dropping. It also loses the license if I try to play offline. I'll buy it if I don't have to worry about technical issues. Play pass til then. |
| 2023-07-26 |  | | Great game but the death sequence is way over done. The biggest difficulty is the joystick. I personally find a pin-able D-pad works better for movement. Some of the fractures become extremely frustrating with the joystick, for both it's stationary and floating styles. The size and location of the buttons when both large or small are difficult. However I admit I'm playing on a small-ish screen and touch controls only do so much. |
| 2023-02-27 |  | | Rather fun game. Simple mechanics, fun and versatile fight system, great exploration, simple but good story. If I was to critique anything it would be a lack of character interaction or side stories, and the fact that after the shops are built there is little use for sparklight. The currency is fun to gather but I find there is little to buy with it. |
