Controller compatibility
It would be great if you added a controller option.
Absolutely a loveably game
It takes you deep and deeper inside its world.
Elderand
I just started playing Elderand, but I have to say I am immediately impressed. Elderand is fun right out of the gate. The gameplay is fast, fun, and not overly complex. The graphics are retro but still gorgeous, and the music is really cool. It’s a modern classic fantasy side scroller. Looking forward to digging into this one.
Excellent Metroidvania
Just wanna say this is just a great little metroidvania title. Not too long. Not too short. Great exploration, weapons, upgrade system. Just perfect. I did run into occasional bugs but the frequent save spots made it not a big issue. Definitely recommend using a controller. Played and beat it over a weekend. Perfect! Only little nitpick is it took a while to figure out how to equip armor and rings as the ability to scroll right in the equip screen wasn’t super obvious. But that may just be me.
Great Game!
This game is a lot of fun. I love how challenging it can be. Its so easy to start playing and not realize 2 hours went by. The only thing holding me back from a 5 star rating is cloud saves. Being able to set my iPad down and pick up on my iPhone while on the go would be great. Nonetheless, excellent job and keep up the great work.
Amazing support
I love this game. I was about 75% through completion when my character suddenly started spawning underneath a level. I emailed the creators and within a short time, they created a patch and a new update. They even sent me emails to ensure the problem was fixed. Thanks for being so responsive and supportive.
Good but
Game premise good, R button for subweapon on Steelseries Nimbus doesn’t work
