Childhood game
This game is amazing I remember playing it when I was like 5 and it’s better then I remember! I hope you guys keep making peak games like this, and I will keep this game forever😭❤️
Sound/Music No Longer Available
I love this game. I’ve had it for a few years now and I’ve beaten it a few times. I was so disappointed to see the soundtrack and effects have been removed with the most recent update. Could you please fix this issue I’d love to continue playing…
Game is extremely entertaining to play.
It’s so entertaining that I wanted to see how far I could get in the game while capped at level 10- something you used to be able to do. I guess that’s one of the “optimizations” they’ve made. It’s frustrating, and they do NOT make it clear that you won’t be able to continue playing after reaching level 10 during every one of the reminders the game gives you. Otherwise, it’s fantastic.
Переоцененная игра
В 2025 скучно. Возможно дело в том, что игра вышла 10 лет назад. Но геймлей настолько однообразен, что сил нет. Никакой динамики в бою: все сводится к тому, что под конец игры ты перепрыгиваешь сильных противников прыжком, делаешь пару ударов, перепрыгиваешь на другую сторону, делаешь 2 удара и так до победного. Кто это придумал??? В игре абсолютно нечем заняться. Любое задание, стычка, квест и прочее, сводится к одному - ты будешь долбить мобов. Долго и упорно. 3е издание не покупайте! Это бессмысленно. Музыка: ну она есть. Этого достаточно, чтобы сразу выключить эту психоделику. Flaying Tank дикий восторг! Круто! Но здесь была, видимо, проба пера.
Good game but I’m lost
I bought the full game but I can’t find the fortune teller, destiny gear, nor the dark heavy armour. Any help would be appreciated
10 year fav
I always replay this game every so often. Great graphics and was always ahead of its time
Don’t have too much fun
Good game and everything till it level caps you to level 10 until you buy the game, wish it said something like that in the main menu as a heads up, immediately uninstalled.
I hate this
Ok I don’t want to spend money to play this game but if I am going to buy Something I don’t want to buy 4 bucks worth of stuff just please make it free.
Silent Mode
There’s no true silent mode even when I go into the settings of the game and turn down the sound. It’s even worse when I have my headphones in because I can’t listen to my music without the games sounds in the background. Every other game can do this except reaper? I’m paying money for this. You guys need to fix it.
Where is the option of Chinese
I download the game for it support Chinese then Ive trid all what I can do, of course I can read English.but my friends can’t.How can I recommend it to my friends? I love this game, but please, at least tell me how to get Chinese
Goated game
Holds up even years later
Tried to reload purchases….
I have purchased all the versions you need to finish the game, and have a number of times. I always delete it when I’m done and when I want to play again I restore my purchases but this time I just get kicked out of the game.
great game
i loved this game as a kid and wanted to retry it and finish it i love the plot and the gameplay i think maybe a few different soundtracks and different maps maybe even a boss sound track would be great
Great game but not worth paying for
The game is great but after level 10 you have to pay for a premium edition to continue to play
Cool concept with room to grow
I like the game and the upgrade system. My main gripe is with battle hazards that make no sense: -Walking by braziers definitely should not hurt the hero; it’s as if he has an unavoidable compulsion to put his head in the fire. -Also, why bounce off of stone statues? Shouldn’t he be able to stand on a hard surface? These hazards become annoyances rather than challenges and decrease enjoyment. I think it would be a lot better with these small fixes!
Needs to be on Xbox
I played through the game on my game and I absolutely loved it! Now I have it on my phone and I plan on playing through it again. I wish to have it placed on Xbox, it’s just such a cool and fun game, yeah you might not have people download it but there are a select few who would and the thought of playing it on a bigger screen makes me really happy
Good
This game is amazing but we should be allowed to stop quests if they get too hard
Great game, needs a refresh.
I love the lore and the storyline of this game, especially with all the cool tribes and their magical powers, but the game should at least give you a 60fps mode to use considering that the latest iPhone is more powerful than a PS4. It would greatly enhance the gameplay and really just modernize it.
NEEDS WORK - GREAT GAME - FIX BUGSSSSS
FIX THE HIT BOX. I can’t tell you how many times I have watched my blade pass right through an enemy and it just doesn’t hit. They’re also moments when I try to use one of my skulls for more damage and it glitches and doesn’t work at. Like ?!?!?!?!? Also, sometimes when I ground slam on the edge of a drop off. I can see my character visibly make contact with the ground, and then it proceeds to glitch and throw me down the hole Also there are moments when you can be rag doll passed from enemy to enemy and loose 50+ health in 3 seconds. Because that’s totally fair FIX YOUR GAMEEEEEEEEEEE
Cross devices iap
I bought the adventure mode on my Mac and redownloaded the game on my iphone thinking I’ll get it unlocked here as well since it’s the same Apple ID. Apparently I was wrong. I wish this was different. I would have paid for it on the iphone instead :(
The best side scroller, it's a vine
I just saw the developer updated this. It's worth the download.
Rubbish
Stupid game. How can a sword take on bombs and bullets! You get trapped in a battle with no way of escaping and you can't move forward or get away to buy any other items. Honestly I don't think the items you can purchase do anything anyway. Waste of time and money.
Issue
I love this game a lot, and I remember I played it a very very long time ago on another device but.. I believe it was on the same account? The problem is that when I installed it and hit restore purchases.... it crashes every time and doesn’t restore things? Is there any way to fix this or check what’s going on..?
Mobile Hollow Knight
The game is good but it looks like it got a-lout of ideas from hollow knight.
Love it, but...
This game is very creative and fun to play. The storyline is great and the characters are rich with personality. However, like with any great game, there are a lot of flaws. For example, the amount of times you get ambushed on your way to a quest is absurd. I will have beaten an ambush, gotten the quest, and I’m on my way to the next part in the quest when I get ambushed again. Also the difficulty spikes are ridiculous. Whatever you do, don’t ask Pako for the location of the treasure cave. Please
Best game
I played this game ever since I was a little teenager, you can play offline and the premium version is a single payment
Sad face
Was looking forward to playing this on my iPhone 6. But it just constantly crashes!!!
My only problem
This game is one of the most AMAZING games I have EVER played. Ive gotten all the way until the demongod level, and it is physically impossible. I only have 245 health, and do only 11 dmg to it. I used to do 9 damage but sold all of my armor just for a better sword, THAT DOES NOTHING! I got to the torken arena just to get a little bit of gold, to then be greeted by bad swords that wont help me. I dont know if Hexage will see this, but I just want you to maybe, just slightly lower its health.
Not the best game
I have played this game for awhile and then started to get bored with it. I had the dark harvest expansion pack until I stoped playing and deleted the game. Then I come back to it and see the restore purchases button. I click it and nothing happens. I keep clicking it and still, nothing happens! I got so mad that I spent six dollars on this game only to have them taken! I still would recommend it.
Nice graphics with really bad controls
The game itself seems to be pretty nice, I like the storyline and graphics. However one thing makes it really unplayable for me - bad and unintuitive controls. I’ve played the game for 30 mins or so, and still cannot get a grasp of the controls.
Followed through childhood.
great game, not a huge game critic. obviously it’s a little old for being on the app store, maybe one or two slightly off hitbox mechanics. but i love the game, designs. sprites and animations. enemies are unique and love the dialogue and quest hunting, id suggest this to anyone and everyone.
Disappointed
When I try to open the game it just keeps on crashing. Very disappointed.
Good but…
Good game but some fights like the pakora treasury or the killer hornet fight are almost impossible if you don’t grind a ton beforehand.
Great game without purchase restore
I bought this on my iPhone 5 and upgraded to the ultimate. It was awesome. But then my phone died and I got an iPhone 6. When I went back in there's not restore purchase, so I can't play anymore. Pls add restore purchase and I will give 5 stars I promise
It was good...
But needs to be updated to support iOS 8. Stupid that I payed for the full version and I can't even play it now.
My Childhood❤️
I bought the dark legend edition recently without even knowing the difference, i just think that this game is so beautiful ive always said as a kid that i would buy the highest tier and i finally did it after 11 years, thank you very much i wish i could see something like this again…
Full version
You can't even get the full version!! Why??
Clearly inspired by hollow knight, pretty good game
Yeah
Needs restore purchase button
I played this game before loved it. I deleted it of some reason and now I downloaded this game again. But it won't let me restore my purchase for the ultimate package. What the hell? I payed $5 bucks for the package and there is no way I'm going to pay for it again I'm going to delete this and wait until you guys sort this issue out 😡
Game Centre problem
I cannot believe it that the game isn't paused when logging in game centre!
Stellar game, fair price for content
I used to play this game's free trial as a kid all the time. Very nice graphics that have aged well, great story and gameplay, an overall great experience. Ad-free from what I remember, I bought the full game just to show my support. Great work. o7
I cannot restore a purchase
I cannot restore a purchase that I made on the upgrade what can I do?
Good game, bad wall :/
I got pretty far on the game, why the paywall? And why level 10? I wouldn’t mind level 15+ but 10? I love this game, just the paywall is bad
Not working in ios8
I downloaded this game because I thought it looked really cool. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to try it yet. It won't open in the new ios8 on my iPhone or iPad. :( Any plans to upgrade it?
Bug: Title is stuck in Japanese
After updating, the title of the game is written in Japanese. Everything else is in English. Just the title is messed up
Noice
I like this game a lot 10/10 gameplay would recommend but maybe increase the level cap, or remove it entirely for players, who might not have money to buy premium or other reasons why they can’t
Ending was horrible
Spent all that time playing through mundane and repetitive levels just to get to the final boss who was near impossible to kill. Instantly deleted the game and now I want my money back. What a disappointment.
Incredible and Surreal
This game is amazing. It maintains an ominous vibe while still keeping it addicting. It’s such a surreal environment that you could get caught playing for hours on end! I’d rate it 5 stars, if it wasn’t for the random difficulty spikes and the fact that you need to pay $2.99 to unlock the full game.
Could have been such a fun game
Totally ruined by atrocious controls, having movement and combat controls in same bottom right corner just makes it a nightmare to play with. I spent 30min with the game and frustration took over so I deleted it. Very pretty game though!
Decent game
Decent game, slightly awkward controls. Biggest problem is that once you start a quest, if you find you're in over your head and forgot to upgrade your armour, you can't go back and upgrade or restart the quest. You can end up in a situation where there's nothing you can do but restart the game. This is a pretty big downside. Uninstalled because of this. Otherwise, interesting game, would be worth purchasing the full version if getting stuck and not being able to complete the game without restarting weren't an issue.
