Explore a sprawling interconnected world filled with Salt-corrupted enemies, uncovering secrets and gaining new powers to liberate the world of Salt from the brink of collapse.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Dandara: Trials of Fear+ is a breath of fresh air in a genre that can sometimes feel formulaic. By stripping away traditional running and jumping, the developers forced themselves to rethink level design from the ground up. Every room is a 360-degree playground. At first, it's dizzying, but once you find your rhythm, you feel like a supernatural force, zip-lining across the screen with incredible speed.
The 'Trials of Fear' additions make this the definitive version. The new narrative layers give more weight to Dandara's journey, and the extra bosses are some of the most challenging (and rewarding) in the game. The art style is gorgeous—vibrant, surreal, and deeply atmospheric. It demands a lot of the player; this isn't a casual 'pick-up-and-play' game for five minutes. It requires focus and mastery, but the payoff of finally liberating an area is immense. It's a high-water mark for indie game design on mobile.

Tips & Walkthrough
Unlock the camps throughout the world to act as checkpoints and fast-travel points. Essence collected from enemies can be spent here to upgrade your health and energy. Always look for breakable walls—the world of Salt is full of hidden shortcuts.
Gameplays
Since you are stationary once you land on a surface, combat becomes about positioning. Use your charged shot while airborne or quickly leap behind enemies to avoid their projectiles. Learning enemy patterns is essential for surviving the brutal boss fights.
Q&A
Yes, the game fully supports MFi and other compatible controllers, which can offer even more precision for high-speed leaps.
