You are probably just a slow learner. The pygons do give away cues as to when they attack, and once you've played the game enough, each pygon has its own pattern that can help you know when they're gonna attack you.

I really can't understand someone's butthert when small part of the game was released as a f2p edition.

Quest Mode consists of 3 quest routes. It's about 5% of the original full priced game.

As for the IAPs in demo - well, that's free2play gamer's pain, owners of complete Horn shouldn't care much about it.

None of that is relevant; this isn't a "free version" of the whole game, it's a demo of part of it, and PC has the situation pegged exactly. You (the community) don't get to complain that games are too expensive, then whine when the developers release a demo. You just don't.

Yes, I may have jumped the gun with my reaction, I saw the word free with phosphor/ Zynga and assumed it was The Dark meadow all over again. I think people panicked when they saw the free version, especially when some bought the original version at 6.99 but if the free version is a demo and only 5% of the game. I don't see anything wrong with that.

/applause

Goal post moving indeed.
"You're wrong because it can't be a *real* demo because it has a functional mini-game!"
"How dare you point out that Apple won't allow my definition of a demo on the app store "
"BUT IT HAZ IAPZ!!!!"



It is a smaller, simpler stand alone game that shows off the style and flavor of the full game, AKA as close to an outright demo as app store rules allow. It is not in any way, shape or form a conversion of the original game to a freemium model as happened with Dark Meadow. Yet we still see epic butt hurt, brilliant

I've just starter the game but I experiment stuttering at the beginning an when scenario change! Is it normal? iPhone 4s 32gb!

[Kotovsky]

How many different routes quest mode has? I counted three.

I think a history of negativity directed toward most games, then followed by a proposal to change yet another well-liked game to one's liking is rather contradictory. It means most people are going to disagree with the change, not that it's a good idea in the broad sense.

Finally finished the game (or what is now known as Story mode.). Despite its flaws, it's one hell of a game. Immediately made my top five. To me, a MUCH more enjoyable experience than the Infinity Rails (I mean Blade) games. Between this and Dark Meadow (before the shenanigans), they really do know how to make a great game. I hope Phosphor can keep them coming.

My note on the bugs, and there are a few, is that many people (rightfully so) consider Aralon the high water mark for iOS RPG gaming, but I played at least six months after the release, and I fought Uthu/Urthu/whatever his name was from inside his body because of some wild bug. Aralon was a buggy mess. Great game, but a real mess. Way worse than Horn, and yet people were very forgiving. (Maybe just a testament to all the bad will from DM.)
