Huge potential with huge playability problems – Granny Legend Review

I downloaded this game and immediately saw the connection to Archero which I love. It looked cool enough at first but then I quickly saw all the flaws, especially in comparison to its cousin, Archero. - Passing a level OFTEN requires restarting more than once - which requires watching an ad video. - The ad videos, unlike most in Archero, seem much longer than normal - a full 30 seconds. Occasionally, this isn’t an issue, but to be successful, this game requires to watch one or two videos to pass each level, to continue in hero mode, to double the coins (which they are stingy with to begin with). So, you almost spend as much time watching videos as you do playing the game. - The controls are super easy... except they’re not intuitive. The natural motion that you’ll want to use is to put your finger over the character. If you do this, you can’t see the character and often are ridiculously surprised when you die bc you never saw the bad guy get you. - The level and types of baddies that come at you, quite often trap you into a corner where you will inevitably die, again, triggering the need for an ad. - If your character is touched once by a bad guy, you die. This coupled with not being able to see the character half the time and with the frequently being cornered by unstoppable bad guys- it’s just impractical and annoying. - Hero mode- the character and weapon is soooo slow. It’s only rivaled by how slow it gives you coins. - The upgrades of characters and attack points is painfully slow. Again, pushing for more ad watching to scrape up any coins you can manage. The graphics are good. The concept is good, but you guys have got to shorten the ads and make this game more playable. It’s a game I want to play and I feel many will want to play, but instead of being consistently challenging and fun, it’s simply annoying at least 1/3 of the time. We like a challenge, and we don’t mind dying when we don’t make the cut on a level, but when you play a game and all you feel is annoyed and angry every time die bc it means one more video, and you’re not quite sure how you died in the first place or were trapped in an impossible situation... it simply fails. Please go back and fix this game before people fully adapt to its weak points, so that it soars as an awesome new game.
