Finally!

Finally a mobile game I can play for more than 30 min without getting bored. Graphics get a 10 controls get a 10 but I use the moga controller so I don't know how the touch controls are. Gameplay is fun and challenging. This game is hard to put down. I cannot believe I'm just now hearing about this game and that it's only 1.99. I recommend this game to anyone and everyone. I give it a 9.5. Took off a point 5 because I don't like the map lol.
Tainted Keep Review

(Ipad mini2) The virtual controls work really well with this game. (Once you understand how they work, and have gained "muscle memory") It feels natural, just after a few minutes. Graphics are clean and crisp. (No problem with frame rates.) The fixed camera is in a good position, Also smooth and steady, when taken control of. Combat feels solid. (Total control of your character, which enhances emersion.) Attacking feels satisfying. (No button mashing here. Its not boring or to slow) Blocking, works well. (Aka "parry" since its a weapon, not a shield) Spells and physical damage, create choice in play style. (Virtual control lay out, allows for easy finger reach of spell buttons, while thumbs are on sticks) Lots of 3-D space to move around in/explore/set up/pull/change up combat tactics on he fly. (When a mobs weapons hit the floor after you defeat them, it feels satisfying.) Just the right amount of difficulty and skill required, for enjoyable gameplay. (Reminds me of Dark Souls, but less brutal/punishing.) If you love dungeon crawlers, real time combat rpgs, and adventuring, you have to try this game out.
Beautiful fantasy adventure

Love the female hero, the graphics are beautiful and the controls are smooth. If exploring a creepy fortress full of traps and monsters hacking and slashing as you go sounds like fun, this game is for you.
Good game but play on Easy
RPGS fan
As far as I can tell the only difference between hard, medium and easy modes is the number of lives you get. Hard=1, Medium=5, and Easy=unlimited. The worst part is that once you lose your lives you have to restart at the very beginning, with tutorials and everything. I always select Medium when presented a choice and didn't realize my lives were limited until I fought the first boss. I lost my fifth life there and almost deleted the game when it made me start over. But, after figuring out the lives limits, I selected Easy and now I find the game more enjoyable without having to worry about the number of lives I have.
outstanding

I'm enjoying this game, and I'm quite comfortable with the controls. I hope if the devs change the controls at all for all the people complaining about them, they make the change optional and not mandatory - I'd hate to suddenly have this game go from great to sucky for me because the controls were changed to something that doesn't work for me. if the character is "staggering around like a drunkard" on your screen, you might consider whether your phone can handle the game. I'm running this on a 128 gb iPhone 6 Plus with all graphics options maxed out, and not only does it look gorgeous, but it runs beautifully. totally smooth, everything happens at the right speed, no complaints. a lesser device might have more difficulty - understandably. this game is nothing if not graphics-intensive. And for people having a hard time with the controls, you might also consider whether they just seem a little laggy, and if they do, just keep playing until you upgrade your sword. One of the things that makes the lowest-level sword the lowest level is that it's not very responsive. I haven't noticed this issue with the wooden staff or the axe that are acquired later in the game. so no complaints from me! on the contrary - it's utterly replayable (i've completed it about five times now and it still gives me chills), and all this with no in-app purchases and no ads! *and* I got it while it was free! yowza. :) I could lodge a very minor complaint about the quality of the voice-acting – it's pretty poor – but there isn't much of it and what there is is certainly more than bearable. *Update, June 2017: I've completed the game 100 times now if not more, and I still enjoy it and it still might occasionally give me chills (not sure about that last bit). And there are still zero ads or other obnoxious distractions, and neither have I ever seen a warning that the app won't work with future versions of the iOS. This is, very unfortunately, unheard of anymore. But you can still experience it here in this game. Quite an accomplishment, this. Thank you, devs!! I only wish now that they had produced a sequel (or two, or three, or…). I just noticed that one reviewer who doesn't like the controls was talking about sliding his fingers around on the screen. I hope when he says "finger" he means "thumb". Anyone trying to control this game with their fingers – as opposed to their thumbs – will naturally find it difficult. That's not what the game – or the iPhone, really – is designed for. So I just thought I would add this note to anyone who is actually trying to play this game with their fingers: use your thumbs, silly! I bet you'll find it a lot easier. ???
