What Apple Arcade does best
04/23/2023

In the wake of playing games like mighty doom, a rouge like rpg that doesn’t make you gamble unknown amounts of money to pass levels is a breath of fresh air. This is one of the things Apple Arcade does best, offers you the types of games that often have predatory monetization methods… without them. So far I’m enjoying the progression, and although it seems simpler that the type of game I often gravitate towards, it really is enjoyable not having to question how much money I need to put down to MAYBE get something that MIGHT help me. For fans of games like Archero, Mighty Doom, or less similar games like Hades, you will find a lot to love here, all while not having to worry about yet another 5 fictional currencies to exchange your real world money for. Great job to the devs and Apple for making games like this available in a way that doesn’t manipulate money out of our wallets with weird Pavlovian monetization traps.

Decent game, needs more frequent updates

The core game is decent. All the shortcomings it has are fixable - developers need to turn the crank faster on updates. Minor updates once a month is too slow - the replayability of the content and new features like the Arena have balance problems and can be burned through way too rapidly with no updates.The delightful aspect of this being in Apple Arcade is that it is not pay to win or pay for play/stamina mechanics. The lack of that may mean it is harder to fund more active development - but if you are putting out this kind of game - it needs a faster pace of content delivery to hold any sort of engagement.A problem more active players have - When approaching a lot of fully upgraded items and summons - the value of chests goes down in terms of total tokens given. There seems to be a mechanic where it will eliminate giving you tokens for thing that are maxed out, and theoretically condense into other items yet to be completed, but the value for each chest is diminished- making finishing items very grindy

Happy for the update, now fix the controls
06/30/2023

Crocakahn!
I’d glad to see this game finally get more levels, but the issue with the controls is still there. I don’t like that movement resets when using the bracelet. It leaves me stopped and vulnerable in the middle of moving and evading. Dashing some times goes in the direction the character is facing rather than the direction he’s moving, rolling me into combat rather than away from it. Dashing over water doesn’t always seem to work either. I thought it was because I was at an angle, but I was wrong. So it’s unclear what the issue is. Maybe it’s related to the previously mentioned issue of dashing the wrong way. The randomization of leveling up summons is not my favorite mechanism, but I can work with it. Not being able to properly dodge in a game that relies so heavily on it is bothersome. Overall, still a fun game.

Almost good but AWFUL controls

I keep trying the game, but keep getting so frustrated at the awful controls. The character sticks to walls, stopping, in a game where constant movement is needed. Controls reset after using the bracelet, leaving the character standing still and getting hit. Levels are designed with TONS of tight spaces, and dead ends, making these sticky issues even worse. Dashing direction is so inconsistent that it’s a gamble to do it. And then there’s dashing over water, which some levels require you to do, and often just simply doesn’t work. It’s close to being a good game, but these issues just make it anger-inducing.
