Ravensword: Shadowlands - (by Crescent Moon Games)[Universal]

I agree with most of the above points, but with full retina graphics and realtime shadows (when the bug is fixed) this is worlds away from any PS2 game and probably on par with a PS3 game just because of the incredibly good textures.

Every played MW3 or Gears 3 on an Xbox? It looks like complete crap due to the incredibly low resolution. After being spoiled with retina on my iPad, I can't stand jagged edges everywhere I look.

I dont know if this was intentional but when you go into first-person view, the main hand/off hand items don't "bobble"(move around) as you walk. It would look a lot nicer if theh did bobble. I am loving this game though!!!!

Anyone mind answering my previous question? Are the shadows bugged for all handsets?

this one really impressed me! I only bought this game because they said that Ravensword is a Skyrim "ripoff" I never played Skyrim and It would be cool if I have it on my phone ) ***** five stars

Gears of war 3 looks like complete crap? Now come on...

Might be time to put down the pipe. Lol

So given that, does Ravensword: Shadowlands improve on the above?

I wish somebody would answer that. I found Aralon incredibly unfun for the above reasons, please someone tell me this game is not like that.

I'm playing on an ipad mini, so I cant experience the high texture quality. Overall, in my opinion this game look about as good as some early Xbox 360 games (in terms of the 3D models), which is really good for a mobile game. Also some of the effects, are as good as current open world console games.

It's too bad we don't see more games like this on iOS. When put into the right hands, the iPad and iPhone really have the potential to be great gaming machines. If more AAA quality hardcore games were release, the ipad mini could have the power to kill off the PS Vita and put a good size dent in 3DS sales.

I can't wait to see what 2013 brings for iOS games. If things keep going this good, I may have to retire my 3DS for a bit and use my ipad mini as my main handheld gaming device. It would also be nice to see the PS4 have some connectivity with iOS games.

If you like this game, you owe it to yourself to play skyrim. That is hands down, one of the best games of this console generation. I'm not too far into the game yet, but so far this game reminds me a little of skyrim.

It would be a dream come true to see a Bethesda produced sandbox RPG for iOS.

Great game so far, but here's what I'd like to see looked at...

1st person slashing is slower than 3rd person slashing... No idea why.

Stop sheathing my weapon automatically - when you're in a cave full of trolls it's quite easy to take a few hits because you've git to draw your weapon again...

Controls - bottom right for looking is essential. Custom button placement and sizing would solve any problems.

Ipad 4 doesn't have real time shadows for me either, just a round blob - no big deal as the game looks stunning anyway....

I'd like to be able to get the local map full screen, and be able to add waypoints on it... Also the compass should have a directional indicator to tell you where to head next on your tracked quest.


Other than than - stunning!

Actually you are rigth boths weapons just are super stiff, the should move the same as in third person camera

Thats my only complaint of the first person camera
