So many reasons to like this. The pulpy sci fi narrative, the prog rock lettering and album art backdrops, the spectral swordsmen and the fearsome sense of connection. God of Blades is pretty much glorious, basically.” - Christian Donlan, Hookshot Inc.“...we were reminded of Shadow of the Beast for some reason – probably because of the music and the setting... that’s a very good thing.”- Chris Priestman, IndieGameMag“The White Whale Games crew has gone above and beyond demonstrating their devotion to stories and literature, and [Loreseeker] is one of the most creative and brilliant ways they could have possibly conceived to get people to go to those incredible repositories of human knowledge known as libraries.” - Brad Hilderbrand, Gamezebo“With their upcoming title God of Blades, the small indie developer has created an intriguing mashup of iOS genres.” - A.T.

Just go get it already. defred34 Well-Known Member Aug 27, 2012 1,408 0 0 Earth #4 defred34, Nov 29, 2012 Depends. I personally never got the craze that was GoB. I eventually went all the way to the end, but it took me less than two hours in total. I'm curious to get back and see what's new in the update. Not to start a flame war, but I stay firm in my assertion that 5/5 is highly unwarranted...3/5 was what it was worth for me. If you happen to not dig the visual flair of the game, then I think you'll immediately get disinterested as gameplay wise this is just sad. PS: Just as an FYI, GoB holds the record of being the 5/5 game on TA that has the most amount of complaints from the reviewer. If you just read the review, you'd expect nothing more than a 3.5/5. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #5 Exact-Psience, Nov 29, 2012 ^I gave it a 4/5. I dont know why TA gave it a 5 since they had more than a couple complaints off the review, but overall, it's still one of the best games i've played on a touchscreen. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #6 Greyskull, Nov 29, 2012 I agree. While not perfect, it is a great game for the platform, and obviously a labor of love for the devs. It oozes a unique atmosphere, which honestly I've been looking for moreso than even great gameplay, what with so many clones on the market. Also, it's being actively updated. A whole new load of stuff got added w/the update. I won't say anything is a must buy at .99 cents, since it seems almost every game hits that price at some point, but you'll be getting a whole lot more than .99 worth of effort on the part of the devs. This, I think, is a great example of a game that would have gotten a lot of attention as a 10 dollar game on xbla or the Playstation Network. I mean, castle crashers...really? And, not to offend anyone here, but Super Meat Boy?

I'm not a big fan of endless runners in general, but the only ones I actually enjoyed were Jetpack Joyride, Slopeskier, Subway Surfer and Bloody Roofs (this last one lasted shorter than the first two, but I enjoyed the story mode).

Had a lot of fun with this up to the point at which it became unplayable on the touch 4th gen, wouldn't hesitate to recommend it if your device can cope with it, I was seriously fcked off when it started lagging as badly as it did....
