Reviews

Don't understand the hype
Ari_E123

The touch controls are terrible and unresponsive. The hit boxes for the enemies are entirely too large or just weirdly shaped so moving behind a target to backstab wastes unnecessary movement points. It's fine if you play in easy mode with no modifiers and basic controls but the minute you try and do more the game fails.


Beautiful

This game plays and looks beautiful The narration and music are also just as beautiful The touch controls are pretty good Takes getting used to but their good Play this on a IPad with a controller is the optimal way but I play a lot on my IPhone and I have a blast Pick this up an incredible instant classic


Great style and game mechanics, everything else what??
Geekness101

Game mechanics and animation 4/5 Art and Surroundings 5/5 Story and Dialogue 3/5 The art was great. I loved it and always looked forward to it. The fighting and game mechanics were also good. I’m not a big shoot um up or hack and slash person, but I really enjoyed the fighting in this game. It was rewarding but not frustrating. However, the story was convoluted and confusing, and the ending was just plain depressing. There is no clear explanation for anything really. What is the Transistor? What is the Process? How did the evil people set off the process and make everything crazy? I also don’t feel like I could influence the story at all. It said “Role Play” but it didn’t really feel like it. The ending was disappointing and just made me said. Sure Red went to the afterlife in the Transistor, but she also killed herself, which is kind of a big deal. Was there no way she could have just rebuilt the city or stayed to see if anybody survived? It was just sort of sad. Was there no way to pull her boyfriend out of the Transistor? It seems like with a plot so confusing their would be. All in all, I enjoyed this game. I think for most people it is worth the money. I just really care about a good story and that is what I look for in a game. I know I devoted two paragraphs to saying how confusing the plot was, but I mean it could have been worse and the great art and music made up for it somewhat.


Amazing game

Best game ever in ios


Greatest Mobile Game I’ve Ever Played
Joe Cold

The art style—being the first thing to jump out at you, even in these still images—is only a part of the delicious experience that is playing this game. Of course, they are fantastic. The sound design is also amazing: the voices are real and grounded while the music is entrancing and immersive. The gameplay is innovative and requires actual thinking (what a thought!) and the story is nothing less than something from an introspective sci fi film. It is the best game I have ever played on mobile, and I cannot recommend it enough.


now we are eager for 'HADES'
돌무니

youre great, more than any other team now we are waiting for your new game 'Hades' to ios


Gorgeous game
Rosie simons

I played this on my switch AND my phone. I prefer the switch version, but the story and graphics are truly wonderful. Mix those together with the awesome music and you’ll get an awesome game. The story was a little confusing at times, but near the end everything became clear. It’s an awesome game, and I’m surprised it doesn’t cost more. It is a little short, but that’s exactly something I’ve been looking for. Definitely worth multiple play throughs, its challenging at times, but never too hard, and it gives you the option to make it harder or easier. Overall, great game. 9.5/10


Bring all of Supergiant to the App Store Please!

Playing through Transistor on iOS, with its excellent combat mechanics, beautiful artwork, and compelling world design made me wish we could also play Hades on iOS :)


Game zooms in to lower right corner

The game zooms in to the lower right hand corner on iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 14.2. At this point the controls dont do anything.
