Ratings and reviews

The game is good, a nice remake of the original game, however, there are a few issues. Animations are sometimes incorrect, which is a smaller issue. Two bigger ones, however, are the camera and the "demo" of the game: during a fight, if you move far away from your enemy, you have to wait for the camera to SLOWLY move towards you, which is a bit annoying. The other issue is, the game says you can go up to the 3rd tournament like in the original PC version, but after you win the 2nd, demo:s over.

I love the game. its fun, nostalgic, and kills time like no other. BUT the ironman difficulty not saving adter closing the app is a huge oversight. The difficulty was good and engaging but I closed the app to sleep and when i woke up my character id spent hours leveling up is gone. kinda a bummer when i didn't die. one life and increased difficulty is probably enough for that mode.

This is not bad it's better than the computer version except the armor and weapons part its level system a little difficult. Some of the sounds for winning fights is some what off when you win a fight it says you just one the deathmatch but it was just a duel. But I loved what is pretty much a demo version seriously just put the full game it's the only reason I give it 3 stars. Also it would be nice if you added extra stuff like a board game thing that you can go to at night in the tavern.
