Animus - Stand Alone Reviews

Excellent

Antisocial wolf

People who gave this game a bad review are not used to play a high quality game like Animus. This game is not that difficult nor have clunky controls. If you have play dark souls you’ll completely understand how this game is played. It just require a little bit of farming to get more advanced equipment as you progress into stronger opponents and by the way the drop rate is not bad at all( not like scamming fermiuns that make grinding unbearable and you still end up having to spend ridiculous amounts of money in order to progress into a linear repetitive boring game). Also, you need to dodge the opponents blows. Seven dollars is a heck of a deal for a gorgeous, fun, complete game (without thieving micro transactions needed to complete the game).

Brutal but rewarding.

Why is this game so slept on? It needs a bigger community! I was never really a dark souls fan but I've always loved the genre, monster hunter is my favorite franchise of all time so I still see the appeal of this game. I have around 10 hours or so into this already, the grind is relentless but rewarding once you finally get that rare drop you've been aiming for. I'm just now getting to the point where I can get rarity B items so id imagine there's still quite a lot of content left. I usually mained longsword in monster hunter so the latest update is amazing with the addition of the new weapon type. I go back and forth between the longsword and Lance. The touch controls work just fine, I've had no input issue. However, since the latest update I am having a lot more crashing. Playing on iPhone 6s with lowest graphic settings. Most crashing will happen when there is a cinematic before a boss fight. Aside from that, and a few complaints about the camera system, I love this game and recommend it to any die hard fans of the genre. Aside from MHFU, this is as close as we're going to get to a QUALITY hunting action game on ios. At least in the United States. I hope to see new weapon types in future updates! A REAL ranged weapon similar to the bow in monster hunter or toukiden would be fantastic.

Animus is like dark souls. If you’re patient and have a good strategy and execute your tactics well. Than this game shouldn’t be too challenging. I would recommend replaying boss fights a few times to gain more XP and items before moving on. This game has high replay value and a lot of content.

Decent

I had to change my review after playing the game much longer. I was determined to not waste my $8. I have to say that the graphics are decent. I wish there was much more explanation and a tutorial with various weapon types so people can learn faster. This game is HARD! Without the proper equipment and a lot of LUCK. You won’t win. I’m lvl 70 and still struggling in day 3. The weapons types make the game. Elemental weakness will help you anything else will slow you down. I really don’t like the inapp purchase after you’ve already paid $8. You need to take that out and increase drops. The shear difficulty and iAP makes it a 4 Star. Good game though.

Disappointed

Maybe I’m spoiled by how well the Dark Souls series feels but the controls fee stiff and unresponsive. Collision feels off, I feel like I’m getting hit when I shouldn’t and that makes the micro transactions seem in bad taste. I’m okay with learning from my mistakes, trying over and over, but it doesn’t feel like I’m dying as a result of my mistakes or timing as much as it’s inability to do what I’m telling it to effectively.

Pretty Good!

A bit rough around the edges, but pretty good! I can definitely see the inspiration from games like Monster Hunter / Dark Souls. There was only one technical issue I had (it didn’t hinder gameplay), where if the enemy is to aggro you through an object it would automatically lock on the enemy through the object. As for quality-of-life issues, not having the ability to change stick inversion in the pause menu was a problem as I jumped right into the game and struggled with the camera through the entire first area (not fun!), but after I found the options menu in the map that was fixed. An option to rebind the MFI controller keys to different buttons would be a nice touch (there were so many times I kept trying to press X to light attack). There are a couple of things I wasn’t a fan of, but understand why because of the limitation of the hardware/ size of the project; such as level scope, amount of enemies, visual effects, and lack of voice acting outside of particular moments. Given its price tag, scope of the game as a whole, and the quality of gameplay I can easily recommend this game to anyone a fan of action-rpg genre. Highly suggest a controller for enhanced gameplay.

Could you

Not bad

The game is pretty good. I like the souls like genre so when this game showed up I was just pretty excited to play it. The gameplay is good, some mechanics are almost useless such as dodging and blocking g, at least compared to console games and the Soulsborne series. You get use to them though. But the bosses are pretty good, and fun to fight, though everything leading up to the boss is simply a chore. My problems with the game are that levels are copy and pasted quite a bit, and even some of the bosses are reused several times. And the grinding is ridiculous sometimes. A lot of the time you have to fight one boss farming for equipment again and again until you are completely bored of the game to the point where you either don’t play again for days or you delete it for several months at a time. And I know the devs want it to be a grindy game, but there is far too much grinding to the point where players get bored. But honestly it’s a great GREAT game and you should buy it. It’s one of the best games on the App Store and it’s an awesome mobile souls like game. If you like the souls games and wanna play something like them on the go, then this game is perfect. Thanks to the devs for this awesome game. I really hope to see another game like this come out sometime. I’ll buy it if you make it!

Constant death

Bosses 1 hit kill you and attack way too fast, where i cant even get 2 hits in without dying right after. Game is okay.
