Animus pays homage to punishing, albeit rewarding action games of a similar nature or genre. In this sense, it may be one of the rare and interesting additions to the App Store.
If you enjoy subtle, intense boss fights, this is for you. We don’t smother the screen with numbers or excessive effects — engaging combat is the focus.
Now, let us seek out our monsters, and meet them face to face.
Animus - Stand Alone (Ire SA Edition) is the companion game supplementing continued work on Ire - Blood Memory.

Reviews
Thanks for being real
Zirodragus48
I bought this game after reading all the reviews some say clunky controls some say overly difficult fights ranging from insta gibbing, down to being swamped in numbers... and perhaps the only reason im not giving it a full 5 stars. I see allot of Souls/Borne (RIP scrubs lol) style, and a “crafting” system to add, looks allot like Ire which is fine with me as i enjoyed that game as well. The main thing that made me want to get this game was the fact that you all, speaking to the developers, are active in responding to the community and working with us, which me personally, speaks volumes. Im just now downloading it so im excited to give this game a whirl, my only true hope is that this doesnt become a money game, where you eventually have to start tossing absurd amounts of money just to progress... But all in all, thank you for bringing another beautifully designed game to the table. Good day (:

Well after getting the ignorant response after my first review of calling the game clunky and unresponsive the rude gms think I’m stuck at a boss I flawlessed first time this game has no skill many bosses are more luck the. Skill avoidance or simply just out gear it. Also for a paid game you have to spend money to reset skills that have no explanation and to level or grind the same mission literally thousands of times Hoping for a lucky drop you even have to PAY to run certain missions ones of course required to advance and FYI if for any reason you need to exit the game during said mission bye bye purchase you just wasted that money. Game is a joke a complete rip off, the gms barely speak English and try to insult you, the game is not only a buy and p2w but they actually expect us to buy features that should be included in a game that had to be bought. This is a total rip off and a money scam hope to see this company and title gone from the App Store and personally I’ll be reporting your scams to Apple for a full product refund this is not something that should be paid and then have to continue paying maybe put that on your info page purchase and in game purchases required to play a very short game with tiny maps only extended by the need to rerun missions a thousand times
Controls unresponsive
jesusyourmom
The game is hard as everyone has stated. The challenge presented in the game would not be such a deal breaker if the controls were more responsive. The developer has stated in several replies that controls are unresponsive due to lag from device capabilities and offered a fix by lowering the graphics quality. However, upon trying this, I have come to realize it’s not a problem with device capabilities. It is an unresponsive control issue and, more specifically, an issue blocking with the shield. First off, the game ran very smoothly on any graphics setting. Secondly, it takes about an extra second for the shield block to respond. Most of the time, I’m blocking before the boss even swings its weapon. It’s still too late and I’m taking damage cause it just simply responds too late. Please fix for 5 stars
Bad optimization for iPhone 8 Plus
Alumon
The phone heats up like crazy 10 minutes in. This game is slowing murdering my phones battery life by heating it up so much.
Awful
svinina
The game is not even remotely close to Dark Souls. Very bland environment nothing to look at. But this is not the main problem. He problem is that the game costs $9 and yet they have micro transactions without which you cannot proceed further in the game because you actually need to pay more money to upgrade your armor and weapons. This is a very bad practice. A worst buy that I've made so far. $9 completely wasted. Rip off!
Great game
Vectriondegion
Really fun game but hard as hell on a phone with touch controls man having a controller would be nice but seem to run maxed out on my iPhone 7 plus good, one big complaint i have is i wish we could go back and play stages I have beat. But i would recommend it to anyone who likes games like dark souls. Its one of my favorite games lately but room to improve and add features.
are you for real?

i’ve made multiple reviews about this flawed game and it’s bugs and how the need to be addressed cause it affects the gameplay. i even got a dev response, instead they deleted my reviews instead of fixing them. great work to know they’ll delete reviews so they don’t have to patch their game. very disappointed
DARK SOULS AS AN APP!
FkTheGodz
It’s a pretty good game. Can’t get much better for an mobile app game. Good graphics, decent controls. The one reason I didn’t give it a 5 is because it doesn’t really explain how to do the lvl stats. The perks your leveling up really do I’m more building on assumption of what they do as soon as those are fixed or send me a complete instructions on this game Id would give it a 5* rating but all in all I don’t see why people are giving bad reviews this is about as good as it gets for an app game
There’s something here but not enough tutorials
Questtt
There’s something special here, a challenging and skill based game. But there’s simply no documentation, tutorials or explanation. Casual players will hit a wall and quit. A developer response from an earlier review contained excellent and vital information. However I shouldn’t have to come on the review page to see it and learn how to play the game . I’m going to trash this game for now. Once the devs integrate more explanations and tutorials, I’ll come back
NEEDS UPDATE!!

The game crashes a lot, and it lags a lot causing your attacks to not register. This happens even when using the low graphics option. This can be infuriating! The concept of the games is good. A little Dark souls/Diablo challenge but can be overcome with the right gear. Game would get a much better review if it worked properly.
