Even the darkness you find light to guide your way<3
Game won’t load
I bought this game 3yr ago. Went to try and play the game I purchased just to find out it won’t get past the first loading screen. I’ve waited over 10min and it just says loading. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times with same results. Tried restarting my phone and same results.
Good. but has greater potential.
I will most likely be copy and pasting this review across different platforms as I’m genuinely surprised the single dev hasn’t thought of making a discord server or a place for suggestions or feedback which is quite strange. Otherwise talking about Watcher Chronicles: The game is pretty decent. Besides the non customisable controls, janky delay between moves and weird map system I do see the potential. However I want the dev to focus on many subjective flaws I’ve witnessed with 20 hours in and as someone who’s played multiple souls like and from software games. 1. The Mobile controls - I’m not sure the priority of the mobile port , however the controls need to be fully customisable for a game that requires such precision/timings like a very precise parry etc. now the defaults aren’t bad but they are also not great. Furthermore, the game has a delay between moves as I’ve noticed, maybe to balance timings but for a lot of actions like attack into block this delay seems almost in the way. 2. The map - not much to say except for a souls like metroidvania with secrets and a open world, we should be at all times be able to see the map. A hollow knight styled map would be very fitting especially with the type of vibe this world tries to set and it should get updated as one discovers new areas divided by clear biomes on a world map 3. General Gameplay - the general gameplay is…. Fine. The mashy combat with the stamina system isn’t bad but I would rather have a game focused around precise timings like the parry, a feature which in this game is actually done really well but goes almost completely under the radar for the fact that the delay between moves allows for little follow up. The parry is already hard to get down and adding a delay between parry and attacks is just weird. Moreso the fact the parry should replenish stamina but the first instance of a block takes away stamina. It seems almost backwards when you could realistically just use a dodge. I believe the game should try and streamline more what it wants to be: are you trying to opt for sekiro parries? Are you trying to have a mashy style like Hollow Knight? Or are you trying to have precise hits in between boss attacks like the Souls games? 4. The Bosses - having watched someone beat every boss all I can say is they have two major issues: a missing “reward” factor and a repetitive issue. First the bosses all lack a rewarding finish and execution, once you defeat a boss they explode, drop some umbra and boom they’re gone. The explosion is a nice touch but afterwards I should truly feel like their defeat either improved me as a player or it aided in the story. Something that I do not feel. A weapon drop, armour drop or attachment drop which is unique to bosses would easily solve this issue. Second, bosses are too repetitive. The game has so many mechanics to take advantage of yet fails to use more than 3 in boss fights. We have a jump yet no boss uses moves that cover the ground fully. Maybe undodgeable or unblockable sweeps which the player needs to jump over etc. we also have a parry but besides getting an opening for the boss once or twice a fight nothing really helps it. For example a parry could deflect projectiles, reflect damage/lower posture -> could lead to stuns etc. I understand it’s a mobile game, but I think adding more complexity than just attack, side dodge run repeat, we could get something truly satisfying to master All in all the game is decent yet I just have some major hiccups I wish the devs took time to acknowledge.
maybe there is a bug. got to “heal” sign and wasn’t an apparent way to heal.
starting off with a full set of plate mail is a bad sign. what’s your next armor? a mech suit?
Keyboard issue
It is a good game but I have a combo folio touch keyboard and it does not match with the game. I can’t go right or left but the other movements work.
They got the little things right
It’s incredible how the small things in a game like this can make it or break it. Everybody has a “thing” that they love to do in games, even if it doesn’t necessarily “help” you. For me it’s destroyed random parts of the environment. I don’t care if the wooden crates give nothing when destroyed… I just want to destroy them. It fills in the gaps between enemies with a more interactive world. There are plenty of other things to like too from the level design, boss difficulty, and class variety. Apart from the fun vibrant art style, I wouldn’t say there is anything that is extremely unique about this game. It’s just all well balanced, flows nicely, and just difficult enough to make you have to focus. I’ve only defeated 3 bosses so far and they are definitely getting more difficult. But I am also getting better and stronger
Unbelievable
I can’t believe that I wasted 1.5 GB of my internet to just play a demo it’s unbelievable. Creators you are suck😡👎
simple cartoonish hack n slash
It is a really fun game to play lot of weapons too choose from, attribute level up systems, dodge roll block all action element in it vast world map with multiple levels. long time play through, boss are progressively harder. overall a fun action snack game things need to improve need to add more attack patterns, currently only weapon normal attacks no strong attacks combos or other special attacks. action buttonsare poorly placed although you can add buttons on the screen but you can change the position direction are on the bottom left corner, jumps are on the bottom right, can’t change the scale of the small button prone to mistip Despite above i personally think it is a good game to enjoy for what it’s worth.
Great game, terrible controls
Don’t bother unless you have a controller. Plays well using a Backbone, but is nearly impossible to play using the touch controls. If you were able to customize them by moving them or mapping them differently on the screen that may help. The combination of weird placement and some actions requiring swiping makes the touch controls a complete mess though. Weapon and stat balance is a mess. Hotboxes are terrible. Was really hoping for some decent tier souls like 2d gaming, but this is cartoony awful in its current state.
Not too shabby
Nothing like Castlevania or The last Faith, but if you want an engaging 2D side scrolling Metroidvania, would definitely recommend. I only played through the first area, so I’m going off on that alone, but first impressions are important and I was left happy.
Pretty good
The game is fun and pretty challenging. I like the 2d souls approach. The price for the game at 8 bucks feels right.
No
Do not advertise your game as free when it isn't. 99% of mobile games are a horrible cash grab, this one is probably no exception.
Liebe es
AUẞER DIE BEREICHE ZWISCHEN BOSSEN Viel viel zu viele gegner die einen ununterbrochen vollspammen
Please disclose that the beginning is a demo.
Liked it a lot, got through the tutorial and then was asked to pay to play the rest of the game. Im fine with a demo, they really do help me decide if I want to play a game. But please disclose that it is only a demo.
楽しいけどiPhoneの発熱が酷い
後たまにラグでカクカクします。iPhone12Pro MAX 内容が良いだけに残念です。内容は即課金してしまうくらい楽しいです。
Best game I’ve played on IOS
Pay for the full game and don’t give a bad rating because of a free trial. This game is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for making it. Please do a sequel
اللعبه حلوه بس
اللعبه حلوه وتعجبني فكرتها بس صح انك يوم تحملها تكون ببلاش بس اول ماتبدى تلعد وتخرج من المكان الي انت فيه يقولك لازم تشتري اللعبه كامله بفلوس عشان تكمل لعبك كان حطو اللعبه بفلوس من اول
Great game
Love this game very fun. My only recommendation is to add the option to change the placement and size of the buttons on screen. Also turning off touch swipe buttons when there are the buttons on the phone. Sometimes I will shoot an arrow just touching the screen and not the actual arrow button. I know it sounds like I am harping on the game but it is well worth the money and your time!!
Fun time
I had a really fun time in the beginning section of this game, but I wish I would’ve know before hand that I had to pay for the whole game. When I downloaded this game I didn’t see anything about having to purchase the whole game until I finished the tutorial.
Holy Crap!
This is a good game. Like no joke this is one of the best souls like I’ve seen on the Apple Store. It’s got good mechanics, the first boss fight was great with intense music and you having to learn his move set. Admittedly there are a few mechanics that need polishing but the most part is pretty good. I am actually excited to play this game and discover the world within.
Does not load, don’t buy
I first wanted to play this game because I’ve played all the souls games including elden ring, the worst thing is it doesn’t load it either crashes before you get into the game or just takes forever to load
Too expensive
Look so fun but its to expensive to buy.
Map
Hey can you do something about the map. I’m totally lost and don’t know where to go.
Excellent game!
Very fun game to play. I’ve played 4 times the story and can never get tired of it!
Shame.
You make a free game go then only allow the first area free before forcing people to pay $8. The game has potential but not when it’s being walled by extreme greediness. On top of the size of the file being over a gig. Honestly, if a game I download is that size, I expect to play more than the first area without being paywalled.
Game hay
Game hay, nhưng phải mua full mới chơi tiếp đc
Ganz gut aber mit der Steuerung
Bekomme ich voll Aggressionen. Lieber für die Konsole
Great game for the $8
I am a huge fan of the souls series and honestly , this game is wholely worth the $8 price tag. I actually would have paid a bit more out of hindsight. Very simple yet polished controls. The graphics are very crisp for a mobile game and I never experienced any noticeable frame loss while playing. It mimics the souls playstyle and I was very fond of it within the first area. To keep the review short, if you enjoy the souls series, I highly recommend this game. My only tidbit of advice - playing with a ps5 or other controller will likely make the experience a little more enjoyable. The controller feels a lot more natural and responsive with how fast you need to react in certain situations. Great job to the devs!
要摳摳
遊戲整體不錯，但要買完整版才能繼續玩嘖嘖
Great
Great game and controls the level design weapons and armour is also brilliant but the fact that you have to pay to continue the game I’d be fine with that but it’s £7
Reminded me of Elden ring
I had fun but then 8$ pay popped up now i just dont wanna play anymore
Well put together - a few suggestions
So far I have made it past sky cathedral with a level 63 character. I can say the game is very fun and interesting… The art style is nostalgic and the combat is very very tough but fair. Certain play styles do seem to be easier than others (shield builds, Long range weapons) but nothing feels ‘weak’ However; I do have some quality of life gripes with touch controls and gameplay. 1) Add ability to cancel drinking animation with potion… i.e. dodge or block cancels the animation to drink a potion. I often find myself getting walloped mid boss fight when trying to drink a potion 2) add help menu with info on what things in stats menu etc. do… I.e. scaling on weapons/armor, what each stat does etc. 3) Buff slower weapons and short range weapons: currently the super heavy slow warhammers etc. are not worth it to use when they do ~15-20% more damage than a light speed sword… the ability to negate shields with the heavy weapons are cool but doesn’t help much in a boss fight.. I’d say 50-70% more damage would make these weapons more viable… in contrast the super short range weapons need to be faster attack speed imo and leave you less vulnerable so you can attack fast and escape, this would make these weapons more fun and interesting… maybe 20-30% faster attack speed would feel more intuitive and fair… That’s all I got! Overall I have loved the game and though it has frustrated me, especially at certain ‘walls’ as I call them in difficulty it is a very well put together game especially for mobile.
Good idea but
You have to buy the game once you get it and I’m wondering why they don’t just you pay off the App Store instead
A well made salt and sanctuary alternative
8 bucks for this game is a very fair price. Combat is decent, the game is well put together, I’ve only encountered 1 bug. When farming souls or whatever the currency is called. Sometimes the arrow marker will get stuck, and block the pause menu. A quick restart will fix it. Story isn’t really existent, just spawn in a tomb and kill things. You meet some side characters along the way. Wish the story and lore was more in depth. As far as a mobile salt and sanctuary style game. Really couldn’t ask for more. Developer did a good job cross utilizing the world map, regions are seamless, a lot of encouragement to explore. My main issue with the game, is you have to be aware of where your hands are, if playing with a touch screen, if any part of your hand is touching the screen when you try to do a command, it doesn’t register, or it spazzes out, and you’ll be rolling when you don’t want to be. Monster hunter freedom unite was the only mobile game I’ve played, that didn’t have that issue. All n all a great job done by the dev. Haven’t beaten the game yet, hit a wall with one of the bosses, which is what I like about a souls style game. Hoping there’s a ng+, will edit when I finish my first play through. Currently level 80. Update: Don't grind umbra! Made the mistake of farming, now I face tank everything.
Major potential
I played through the free area of the game, and to my surprise, it wasn’t bad. Already off on the right foot compared to most games on the App Store claiming to be a souls-like. The controls felt a little clunky, but judging by the multiplayer section I’m assuming the game is meant to be played on controller; which I imagine would feel much better. The style of the game is great, and the combat is surprisingly enjoyable. I would love to rate this game higher, but I don’t think I can give it higher than 3 stars if I can’t justify paying for it. I really enjoyed what I played, but I definitely didn’t see enough to want to pay $8 when I was done. That doesn’t mean the game isn’t worth $8, and if the free section had been longer it is very possible that I would have changed my mind. However with what I had access to, I don’t think I would’ve been willing to pay more than $3. Either way, awesome to see a souls like on mobile with some heart in it. I hope to one day be willing to pay what the developers ask, but for now this is all I have to say.
Where the heck has this game been hiding
Holy moly, I never noticed this gem till today.
I hate this game
The first part is hard it is so stupid
Interesting idea not fleshed out
This is one of the rare souls-like genre games that exists for mobile Giving it already a interesting concept however I cannot give it fills stars for lack of customization early on, you do not have a option of weapon and are automatically given a bow and sword with later on being given weapons the only souls-like aspect is the difficulty of the bosses there is no extremely complicated system but it would be interesting to see parry implemented early on this game however has a interesting combat system with stamina and a large amount of variables that is involved in combat. 4/5 I would recommend this game
L2D mobile souls like par excellence
Satisfyingly challenging combat. Some thoughtful diversity in combat styles. A bit of wholesome crunchiness in the gear/stat selection. People are comparing this to Salt and Sanctuary, and dropping a star because of the minimal lore, but when this is the best 2D souls-like available on smartphones, that hardly seems a fair comparison. Highly recommended.
the first part was fun but
Why do you have to spend money to play the hole game.
Nice game but
Nice game but it’s not worth 8$ 3$ is the price this game is worth so eh
