◆◆◆Developer Notes Animus pays homage to punishing, albeit rewarding action games of a similar nature or genre. In this sense, it may be one of the rare and interesting additions to the App Store. If you enjoy subtle, intense boss fights, this is for you. We don’t smother the screen with numbers or excessive effects — engaging combat is the focus. Now, let us seek out our monsters, and meet them face to face. Animus - Stand Alone (Ire SA Edition) is the companion game supplementing continued work on Ire - Blood Memory. ◆◆◆Background "Countless possibilities had been while hope rose and fell, but all were beaten into the dust, bringing an end to the age of champions. The lands now lay desolate and empty but for the acrimonious shadows, enslaved in the falsehood of their own creation. Yet... there is one left wandering the lands in torturous pilgrimage, to escape this prison... or end it." ◆◆◆Game Characteristics* . Standalone (offline capable) . Tactical Action(RPG) .

I like it.
I was reminiscing recently about infinity blade and was bummed to learn that it’s no long available. I saw this as something similar and have been enjoying it so far. A quick question though, can someone tell me what the rage perk does? It says quick to anger but i haven’t really noticed anything. Does the devastation attack combo recharge faster?
A bit harsh on my last comment
This is an all out good game. I highly recommend it if your looking for a mobile game to take your mind off things or something new in the genre. For anyone who’s looking! Now to the developers: Eveything about the game is great…. Besides the farming aspect. I’ve at least fought the samurai guy at least 40-50 times and only got 2 pieces of his armor and 1 tachi from him. I’ve used up all my points to gain more rewards after match and still get nothing. I’ve always fought in the golden area to try and get better equipment with no luck. All I get are D rank items and it’s quite frustrating. Farming for 2 hours to get something I can do that but to farm all day to only get 2 items is crazy. Monster hunter farming didn’t take that long. Is there a way to get high rewards that I’m just not utilizing or is this the way the game is intended? I just would like to gain more armor and equipment so I can go head on with the story. I bought the 3 in 1 package. I’m thinking just skipping this 1 and moving on to the next. Just because of the farming aspect.
Terrible performance
Very bad performance on iPhone 13 pro Max. Unplayable even
Refund
i'm honestly disappointed in this series and really want my money back i hope you give me my refund in full i'm not just trashin on your game i genuinely do not like any of them and yes i took the time to try each one before deciding to try to get my money back sorry to be an inconvenience but i'm beyond unsatisfied with this purchase, p.s i tried to vist the developer site and it says server not responding so there's that
Clunky
Just picked this game up and already regretting the money spent. Game controls are very clunky with both controller and touch screen on an iPhone 11. Buttons are occasionally responsive and combos rarely work twice, no matter how precisely you time them. Blocking works well when it’s not a powerful attack that knocks you over or stuns you. If you try dodging, the monster attacking spins around 180 degrees mid-swing to make contact anyway. Started out very excited to play this game, but ended with very disappointed.
Pretty Darn Good
Bought the Animus series pack and figured I’d start with the first one, then Harbinger, then the newest. Haven’t played any of the latest ones yet but I’m really enjoying this one so far. Boss fights are cool, armor and weapons look pretty good with a great amount of variety, and you can summon and fight phantoms. My only complaint is the frequency you get memory shards and how much it is to concentrate relative to the drop rate. I know this game draws inspiration from Souls, but most importantly it draws from Monster Hunter. Which means farming. I don’t mind farming but it’s a tad too much for a mobile game. For example you can kill the Advocate 10 times in a row while consecrating every time and not get that drop that you want (love that boss fight btw, well done!). Overall I’d give this game a 4.5/5. I was pleasantly surprised with this game. I’ll be reviewing again once I complete it and will review the other Animus games as well. Would recommend! Edit: the fight with the chaplains is a little ridiculous. They have too high of an attack frequency together. Other than that it’s been ok.
