Why do I read "goddammit" in every second sentence? Mostly it's not even fitting into the context. I suppose this is a translation error?

I'm working on my first from-1st-level run and I'm loving it. Before heading to the Neuro Tower, make sure to try the Tutorial Dungeon -- it's a good introduction to the game systems and gives you some decent items as well.

Think I'll do this before going into the neuro tower. And target lock may help!

For a wii game port, it looks pretty good, but the graphics are not updated kr optimized at all. Other wii ports such as rafe of the gladiator was remade better and with better visuals. This game is not only not optimized for iPhone 5, its graphics looks like garbage (art style is decent, similar to bastion)

The gameplay is very repetitive with a hard to follow story, especially since there is no voice acting. The fighting is boring and the controls are a PAIN. The music does not fit with the gameplay most of the time and the fx are bad, such as the player walking on metal slowly sounding like a car crash.

All together, the game is not very good but at least we know wii ports might be coming our way.

This game is not worth $9 and maybe a $2 game, the developers need to do some serious editing or this game is a fluke.

Rating 5.5/10
(Not for most gamers)

Yep -- not for everyone. Anyone who doesn't have an appreciation for rogue-likes should stay away. Repetitiveness is in the eye of the beholder, of course: for me the fact that you have so many weapons to use and so much loot to collect (as well as other surprises) pretty much compensates for the simplicity of the combat (which is a fact on every single rogue-like).

As to the graphics, I like 'em, at least on an iPhone. Art direction beats resolution any day, as far as I'm concerned.

Since you can try it for free, I definitely recommend that folks pay little attention to anything we're saying here and just check it out for themselves.

Im on the second from-1st-Lv run on story mode (ongoing story by the way, so dont be surprised if you get back to Lv 1 again

).

I am loving this game. I did say on my first impressions that this isnt for everyone in terms of aesthetics and some of the gameplay mechanics. Roguelikes always only had a handful of fans, but the game makes them love it a lot... And this is no exception.

This is currently my favorite roguelike on the iOS.

That's just from dialogues from the training guy. LOL.

You wont see that in the dungeons anytime soon.

Sorry, you're right, I was just talking about the Survival mode having no items. Does Story mode have at least a local HoF like its Wii counterpart?
