Easy way to solve the sprint problem.

I have no issue with no sprint, I still find the game completely terrifying. However, if you want to add sprint here’s two simple ideas. 1. Sprint Zone outside the joystick. Just like with 2k mobile you have a zone outside the joystick’s circle which allows for sprint, if you’re stick is within the circle you walk, if it is outside the circle you run. This does have a negative as it’s a little annoying when you try walking since people usually just hold foward, so it would take some getting used to. 2. Sprint during chase sequences; If you run into the nun you automatically sprint to get away from her, this has a negative to where a stamina bar wouldn’t really be useful since you are automatically sprinting. So you woul have to either get rid of the stamina bar, or let it hang just to run out.

Amazing mobile port!

At first I was kinda skeptical. Most mobile ports of other games are fake or fan-made and they end up being crappy and full of ads in unnecessary places. Then I realized that this is legit puppet combo porting Nun Massacre to mobile. Holy crap y’all actually did a good job porting it. Still as scary as it was on PC. Only issue I have is that the game feels too slow without sprint, especially during chases. It’s understandable tho. You can’t always have everything. Too many controls to make room for a sprint option. Other than that, phenomenal work. It’s rare to see a good port like this.

This game is missing something’s…

This port is excellent. Good controls and good movement. Ads are what I’ve come to accept, but the fact that they disrupt gameplay at every step of the game kills the atmosphere and ruins the feel of the game. But this isn’t the main issue. Not being able to run destroys this games horror aspect, having the nun lightly walk towards you doesn’t make your heart race to the point where you’re shaking afterwards in the console port or on pc. Even though this is a mobile game, the simple feature of running can really make this truly a horror game. This game also needs some more controls as well. Having to go into the inventory manually without being able to quick swap doesn’t work well. Other than these little gripes, the game is well textured and looks just like the real game.

Eh at best

Up front, this is my first experience with this game. I haven’t played it on any other platform so my review is based purely off of my gameplay experience on mobile. The good: The game runs well. I didn’t experience any crashing or glitches during my gameplay. There are some nice effects that aren’t totally distracting. The bad: The controls feel awkward. For a game about hiding and being chased, you move so slowly and there’s little to no information given to guide your way or teach you the game mechanics. For some items you have to crouch down to get them which is inconvenient at best. The door opening mechanic is a crude imitation of Amnesias superior mechanic. It’s very much so a throw you into the deep end sort of game. The ugly: The level design is just bad. That first little walk up the mountain was atrocious. The level design was so far from player friendly it was almost insulting. I understand it’s supposed to be a rough road that sets the scene for the isolated scary building. You can accomplish that without making me play like I’m trying to jump up a cliff in Skyrim. TLDR; there’s potential here for a game in the same vein as Amnesia or Outlast but the gameplay mechanics and level design need serious overhaul to make this worth anyone’s time.

PUPPET COMBO YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!

Okay, so first of all, this game is drop dead amazing it’s so fun and even if I get scared I keep wanting to come back and play it again because of the amount of entertainment in this game! I’ve always watched coryxkenshin play this and I’ve always wanted to try and this game is really good, I love the graphics and items and the setting! But sometimes there is a sound glitch when the nun is chasing you and say she’s gone now that sound would still play witch kind of ruins the experience a bit. But other than that this game is awesome, you guys have amazed me, keep up the good work!! ❤️

Fantastic game. Terrible customer service

This is literally the coolest horror game I’ve ever played. I love retro themed stuff. It is truly a masterpiece of a horror game. But, there’s one problem I have and it’s the customer service. They were disrespectful to me when I asked them to put one of their other horror games on the app store. I told them I was a fan of Nun Massacre and asked if they could include one of their other horror games on the app store and they just said “No” and that’s it. I love Nun Massacre a lot, but don’t contact Puppet Combo’s customer service. They’re just not polite at all.

Controls can take getting used to

In my original review I explained why the controls frustrated me. Usually being that its hard to close doors and the jumping mechanic is a little weird (needing to double tap in order to jump), but after playing the game a bit longer, I sort of got a hang of the controls. I just think that these types of games are better with a controller in your hands, rather than with a touch screen phone like what I’m doing. All in all, I certainly do appreciate that puppet combo was able to ad this game to download on smart devices, and I hope to see more games from them real soon.

What’s scarier, the Nun or the game’s issues?

My short play-through of this proceeded as following: •Started the intro, needed to tap the action button eight times to get out of the bathtub you start in. •Walked down the hallway and fell through the floor to the outside. •Walked as far as I could and turned, listened to the game’s intro music. •Continued walking across increasingly steep terrain, fell through the ground, landed in a ravine and couldn’t get out. Skipped the intro. •Explored the first floor, searched doors and cabinets. Trying to move around to look results in constantly jumping up and down, since double tap jumps and there’s no way around this. •Walked up the stairs, fell into a pit that glitched the game out and forced it to the main menu. •Explored again, eventually finding the nun and getting away. •Found the nun again, and while running away an ad started I couldn’t exit while the game continued, died because of the ad. Folks, that’s as far as I’ll go in this one. The atmosphere and graphical details are incredible, but controls are totally broken (try to open all the doors on a cabinet without shaking your phone in rage) and it’s too buggy to enjoy.
