Dandara: Trials of Fear+

Very well done. Beautiful art direction and great controls-innovative and responsive. The world is deep and interesting and the level design is very thoughtful. It is challenging in parts, but the largest test is one of patience. Most of my troubles came from wanting to move and shoot faster than the game or circumstances allowed for. You must account for things like the half second charge on a shot when deciding to move in sticky situations. And if you are impatient, you will suffer for it. Edit: after playing further into the trials, no, the controls do become problematic. Later in the game the vast majority of deaths come from swiping the screen, seeing nothing happen, then getting killed. It’s still fun but in a game that’s going to require fast, perfect control, the interface can’t be anything less than perfect.

Beautifully made, very challenging, but it was worth the effort. I got the first ending then played again and found out there was a “real” ending, I’m guessing this is the expansion? That final boss was so incredibly difficult, I think I replayed over 100 times to master it. It probably didn’t take other people as long, but wow did it feel amazing when I finally beat the game. I absolutely loved this game!

This game was a blast to play. Cool mechanics and at times very difficult. The ‘secrets beneath masks’ room and final boss were imo frustratingly difficult. Highly recommend this game. Only wish I could go and travel everything normally after I defeated the final boss. All of bosses were unique and fun. Beautiful artwork!

This is an excellent adaptation of Dandara (available on just about every platform), with the controls translating quite well to mobile. The game is quite difficult, and convoluted, good for many hours of frustration/entertainment. I think it would benefit from some help screens on the controls. It took me a long time to figure out how to swap modes for the auxiliary weapon/ability, and to know that the energy/health power ups refill at campsites.

I like everything about this game. Good challenge.
