App Store Editors’ Notes

Amazing and Unique

I never leave reviews but had to for this game! Lots of content , a developer that cares, and who is adding more content regularly. This last update blew me away with how much was added! I love this genre/style of game, but most were lacking something that left me only enjoying the game for a couple hours at most. This game offers the best of others within the genre, but adds skill and a difficulty curve that is truly impressive. Attacks feel heavy and when you mess up you have even more incentive to jump right back in, since there are so many builds and combos to try. I’m not even close to unlocking everything, but I can see my game sense and skill increasing each run, which MAKES me want to grind it out and unlock everything. No ads, no pay to win, just a one-time purchase for a well-crafted game with endless replayability. Thank you.

Another gem from Kyle Barrett

Fully agree with Teemberland’s review. Ultra Blade has replaced VS for me, and I’m looking forward to many hours of grinding and unlocking. I love the way each blade has subtle, unique tactics that take time and real strategy to master. Certain blades are better suited to specific zones, and it takes some experimenting to clear waves effectively. The camera shake on Rebus Prime and the tiny UI elements pushed all the way to the edges of the screen are problematic. Not sure how the game made it through beta testing without Kyle getting that feedback. Hopefully those issues will be addressed in an update. Bottom line: this is another gem from Kyle Barrett and 100% worth the purchase!

Goodbye Vampire Survivors!

This completely replace Vampire Survivors on my phone! I like how the pace is a bit slower than VS. The control feels ‘heavier’ than VS and in my opinion very intuitive. This game has the hook factor for me. There are plenty of characters to play with that I haven’t unlocked yet. Each character can be leveled up (not sure what the max is just yet). Some cons for me that can easily be fixed via update: Camera shakes a bit much for me when using Rebus Prime. I don’t mind this effect, but maybe apply camera shake only on heavy attack. And keep the screen steady for light attacks. The other minor issue for me is the UI/UX. The settings button is tucked in the top left corner of the screen. There are times I had to tap it 3 times to access it. Lastly, there were times I could not see my character at all. Overall though, I love the art style, controls and progression (so far).

One button portrait mode roguelike of my dreams

An amazing roguelike bullet heaven game with simple controls but good depth and progression. Attacks feel weighty and it takes more involvement and technical skill than some other games in the genre. Love the art style and backgrounds of the levels. Loads smoothly and quickly, making it easy to jump into the game. Only complaints are about some UI things: - some buttons near the edge feel a bit too close to the edge, causing them to feel squished or even obscured by things like my iOS home handle - wish there was a way to quit the round instead of just letting yourself die (which is pretty easy to do, haha) - wish there was a way to go back to the main weapon/character selection screen after you reach the level selection Thank you for developing this awesome game!

Great gameplay adding to the VS style

Loving the game overall. Only issue is I had a glitch after second time trying to open the game. When I pressed the app it went to a blank screen and I closed it multiple times and retried. No solution worked but to uninstall and reinstall. Not sure what the issue was. Otherwise enjoying the game so far and will update review as I go.

A Developer that cares 💕

This game is amazing and it’s so awesome that it’s made by someone who cares about the people playing it! I left some feedback, they said thanks, then they implemented everything I asked for! AMAZING I wish every developer was as responsive and had such an amazing ability to craft something with such care. Love the game, love the updates , love the developers. So excited to see how this game continues to grow!

Perfect execution!

This game nails the rouge-like survivor beat em up fun that is so hard to get right! Great sound design, art, unlockables, and RNG elements to give it replay ability. Excited to see it grow! one suggestion I have is maybe making it easier to find your chosen blade once you have a large stack of say 50+blades, maybe a grid of icons, Great game! actually felt compelled to review because I dont see games like this ever.

Very fun… BUT

Let me start off by saying that I love this game. I spent hours on it, and it still found ways to challenge me and entertain me. My one critique that I found is that I seem to get the same perk options when I level up we’re very similar ones with the 15 or so characters I have all at level 10, I would assume some more variety would be present. Other than that I have no complaints and the game is great.
