Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We hope they make another one. An underground classic. We would play this on switch and Xbox. All these years later and another game like this still does not exist.
It's really hard to find an actually good rougelike game nowadays for mobile. This is the epitome of an amazing, and creative rougelike. It's pretty hard, has a lot of stages, enemies, pickups/weapons, buy ables, upgrades and so on. It's just such a simple, straight up fun, and challenging game. We're relieved to find this game, and we're glad didn't we give up looking, after finding Cardinal Quest.
One of the most fun games in the App Store. Classic arcade fun.
We find ourselves coming back to this game frequently. Really well done.
We love it so much fun. Just pick and play.
We love this game and can't wait to see some updates.
The devs are right. Just look at the title screen.
So addicting, and no need to buy anything.
We absolutely love this game. Could do without it the ads, but the game itself is top-notch. It has an old-school super NES vibe, with touch screen controls that work without having an on-screen analog stick. Playing through each wave the experience gets more and more difficult and more and more addicting as the stakes are raised. There is plenty of variety in style and strategy as you level up and new enemies arrive. Our only complaint with the game is combat is more effective when tapping on the character you want to kill (rather than swiping in the direction of the enemy) and this can obviously block the screen with your thumb in the way. Otherwise excellent game.
Addictive gameplay. We have really been enjoying this game.
Hope to see support for this game for a long time. It's simple and fun. Soon as you get the hang of hacking and slashing, upgrades and new weapons will make you not want to put the game down. It's a lot of fun. It did take us a bit to figure out how to buy out the ads but eventually we figured it out. 5 stars no doubt. Updates are always appreciated.
This give us hours of fun! Co-Op mode would be awesome! Thank you for such a great game.
We were about to give up on iPhone games when we found this. It's got creative gameplay and awesome upgrades. We're hoping for updates soon.
It's a fun game but could you add a joystick please! We always get killed because some ninja is hiding behind our fingers, and could you add it to where you keep the upgrades please! We'd pay if you did.
Great game but can you add it so u keep lvls as well.
Are there going to be updates or is it dead.
So simple of an idea. Masterfully implemented and enjoyable to play.
Really enjoyable game, got us hooked pretty quickly. Be fun if there were a bit more depth too, like if there was a story mode where you had to navigate through levels while avoiding traps and taking out ninjas. Something like solomons keep.
You play a ninja taking part in some fun arena combat. The enemy ninjas come in successive waves. You drag to move and tap on an enemy to attack. The game is actually fun. The only IAP is to remove ads which is good. It's worth it. Thanks devs.
The game is free. (actually free) Dojo Slash is a challenging game that does not have an end. The abilities from leveling could use some work.
No IAP, means money for you. Maybe add more weapons later on. Otherwise tight fun game. Similar to "only one".
Super fun and challenging game, hope more discover this.
Really well done – excellent game.
Wish controls were an option we rather joystick this … Our fingers are big we can't hardly see on our iPhone 6 … Better for iPad we're guessing … Downloading now sigh.
