Hear from the Players – Aruna’s Adventure Reviews
Find out what gamers are saying about Aruna’s Adventure:
We’ve seen reviews that refer to lack of story and rough controls, but it provided hours of fun for $5(really, what else can you do thats fun for hours for little more than the price of a coffee). Playing on a phone, we personally dont want to read small text and just want to hack and slash our way to victory. Controls can be tricky, but in our opinion it was just enough to add to the difficulty of an otherwise easy game without any annoyance. We definitely recommend this game if you like old school Zelda type games(pared down hack & slash game with armor/weapon upgrades and grid maps but minimal questing) and you want to kill 2-4 hours. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly buy a sequel. No stress, just fun… Nicely done!
Thanks for listening to the fans :)! This game now fully runs on keyboard, controller, and touch and the overall challenge/fun you can have is by and large one of the best! Keep up the good work :) Can we see some DLCs? Id love to contribute more to the developers ^^ Kind regards, Everyday Guy.
Perfect graphics for our taste and though we play jrpg mostly this is a retro rpg like Zelda that we love to play.
We love this game but we cant get past the 3rd tome. We got all of the gems but somewhere along the line the green gem disappeared. We went back to all of the chests on the level but they were all open.
Game is really great but the crashes are not fun at all. 4 crashes in a row within the first hour played. Its great your game is saved right when you heal your self. The gamer is good just not the crashes.
Yes, the controls are as bad as everyone says. Its a D pad. And its too big. There are no vibrations to tell where you on the D pad. Starting out – youll literally have to look down to see where your thumb is before you get it down. Im a good ways in and we still take damage because Aruna wont move out of the way in time. Not gonna lie, we were regretting buying this game within about 3 minutes of starting. But that feeling passed fairly quickly. But like everyone else has said – if you like the old school Zeldas – youll like this. Its a very condensed, bite-sized, Zelda game. Im very conflicted on what to rate this. If we could, we think Id probably rate it 3.5 stars.
This game was fun while we could play it. Now the game crashes as soon as we hit the saved game to load. If this is fixed we would definitely give it 4-5 stars!
We love the game so far, been playing an hour and already at the second to third stage. The only issue we have is when you dash, sometimes it will shoot you into a river and you get stuck trying to dash back to shore somehow. We’ve even been smacked by a grey frog and sent into the river by the waterfall/cross to the winter world. Its irritating to say the least. Other then that, you all made a nice tributary to Zelda.
This games remind us of the original Zelda. Controls needs updating. Please allow to resize of the controller. Playing on a 12 IPad Pro makes it nearly impossible.
Please work on the controls. They need help! Let the player have the option of enlarging the buttons.
Very simple, very easy. We played the whole game, but wasnt very satisfied.
Needs a serious coat of polish. The controls are occasionally unresponsive, we frequently get stuck in walls or rivers or teleport back Into rooms as we dash around. And though we understand the boomerang is kinda OP it’s still pretty dumb as a one time use item especially since several enemies are out of reach with no way to get their item drops. Shops will occasionally empty their items after we buy one thing and we’re unable to purchase the other gear. "Towns" consist of 2 buildings. One of which can’t be entered and the other has the same npc Sprite with nothing else. It’s just a bland environment. "Secrets" are all the same, clear the screen of enemies and get stairs or a door to a 10g chest. Eventually you’ll have a significant more amount of money than is necessary. So I’d recommend just skipping most fights since golf and health used immediately are the oy rewards. If this game was baked a bit more and had some attention to detail we would find it really charming. But the generic story, bland environment , terrible controls, and lack of items leave a lot to be desired.
Really nice and excellent game, needs just a little bit more to make it awesome. Old school.
Let us start off by saying that this is a fantastic game. Virtually everything one would want in an old school adventure. The ONLY reason we gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is the controls. We appreciate the controller support, but while out and about that is not practical. Maybe a floating d-pad, analog stick? Maybe its just us having trouble adjusting the the controls, but some options would be much appreciated.
This is a fun retro 8-bit Zelda-esque type game. With that said, the controls need a ton of work. Because the joystick controls arent dynamic, our finger slides off of them constantly. They dont work for a touch interface. Most of our deaths have been from this issue.
