Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed the game, but the battle system (rotating your phone and then waiting for the enemy to attack you so you can counterattack them) got old pretty fast and ended up being more of a tedious pain than an intense fighting experience--the boss fights were kind of fun, though. The game is way too sensitive to even slight rotations; also, the main antagonist wasn't nearly as frightening once you realize that all it does is trigger another boring fight when it catches you. Story was alright--it started off strong, but last momentum as the game progressed; in some ways this game squandered its potential.

A classic indie game that set a milestone in the artistic genre, still plays well and holds its charm on Android devices, but it's in need of an update. While it plays just fine, frame rate when moving the camera is a bit choppy and if you zoom out you can see the rough edges of backgrounds that you're not supposed to. Needs to be updated for modern resolutions. Still enjoyable though.

This game is amazing, I haven't even finished but it's just amazing. The music, the experience, everything is so unique. But I have one complain, not enough to make it down to four stars (or maybe?), the thing is the sensitivity of the rotation is way too high. Sometimes my phone is making a 15° or less and the game thinks I rotated the device and goes battle mode. This is frustrating some times but wasn't able to make me not enjoy the game.
