Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is so similar to Azmar Quest.
This is a fun little game. It's easy to learn and works seamlessly with voiceover.
We have discovered that you have to have water to go exploring, but the confusing part is this. When you click auto, a heading comes up that says auto explore and when you swipe right using voiceover, you hear a close button. Will you continue to explore even if you hit the close button.
Its very fun to play with friends. We like how they have timers in game to keep you from grinding (although we do it anyways LOL) and we love the accessibility with VoiceOver. One little thing is sometimes it'll randomly throw us down into the tab bar which is frustrating but we can deal with it. Overall it's 5 stars.
Love the game. If it only costed 1 water to explore it would be a lot more fun.
This is a fun little time waster thats completely accessible to a totally blind gamer like us.
Though this game is fun and the classes flavorful, we do think it would be nice if the name for the last class of Ranger being stalker would be changed as we feel like out of context it can sound creepy and therefore really shouldnt exist.
This is a fun game. Love the multiple playstyles and classes. Just have a few things here and there we hope you could fix. 1. Please find a way to stop the game from taking us to a whole nother option. This happens when we use voice over and we scroll through the menus to quickly or too slowly. 2. Maybe add a different sound for missing attacks? As a blind player, all we can do is listen in, so we'd at least want a sound to know someone dodged an attack. 3. This one's very minor, but maybe change the name of the upgrade from scout? Our friend and we were talking about this game and it's classes for the fun of it, until we found out that, you know, saying you're a stalker in a game like this out of context would be a bit… Weird. This one's not a big deal, we'd just like to mention it. Thanks for reading.
El juego es muy completo 100% accesible, pero solamente algunos problemas como cuando ests pagando para subirlos Stats de suerte se va a automticamente para las peleas, pero despus que ah no hay ms cosas malas que le haya encontrado algunas cosas son difciles de entender al principio, pero despus te vas a acostumbrando si no lo sabes y no encuentras que hacer con el dinero, solamente adonde dice Cash o dinero lo que sea para pagar, eso significa que te va a subir los Stats dependiendo en qu pestaa ests pero el juego es muy muy bueno muy completo, y un poco adictivo.
Challenging though no mid level appears available in district 4 of innocent land, it appears learning from defeats doesnt happen.
Im blind and use voiceover on our phone and this game is very accessible with it. It also has great content, and we never get bored of it. Way to go.
This game is great. We like that its accessible, easy to play, and it works with voiceover.
Not many video games blind people can play. This is one of them.
Im low vision there are so few good low vision games out there a friend told us about this game. We found it. We like it. Its fun, interesting exciting but. For those of us who are low vision is not always the most intuitive. There are some things that it just doesnt show at least not that we figured it out. You have to discover them for yourself as you go along, which is exciting, but would be nice to know what we need to do. Example raise it tells you what level we need to be. As a companion, it does not at least not that Ive ever seen. Great game but for those of us, Low vision a little more would be nice thank you.F.
The layout is easy to understand and we like the mechanics of it. It just so far seems like really slow progression because of how long it takes to get stamina.
This is a fun game, interesting so far, played it a couple days and love it. Voiceover accessible for the blind too. Try it out.
Thank you so much for this wonderful game. We really appreciate it. We love all the features here.
We liked because of you know then you can do it easier.
Multiple characters, different missions, total Goldie lox zone with this one! We are HOOKED.
We really enjoy advancing through this game, leveling up gear, climbing the leaderboards. Its pretty simple but fun. The only problem is that you need water to explore and fight monsters so you can lvl up, and once you run out (which is around 30 mins into playing) there is little to no way to regain it in a short amount of time without paying. You have to wait at least a couple hours to gain enough..and even then, you can probably only play like 20-30 more quick roundsso like 5 minutes. This game is probably fine if youre someone who plays for 5 minutes here and there throughout the day. The more you level up, the more things there are to do, so thats good. Its not great though if youre looking for something you can play for hours on end to stay entertained while home on your day off.
Really good rpg in the same vein as melvor idle, with clans and pvp. Very well made and easy to play/learn. Gladly purchased the membership (2.99/month) to support the dev, but in no way needed to enjoy the game.
Old school mmo vibe in modern mobile form. Portrait mode easy to pick up and play for short bursts.
This game has a lot of variety. We love a good adventure game.
Lost Vault does what it does very well. It is consistent, reliable and strongly developed. All the tabs, menus, UI functions and descriptions, as well as tutorials work perfectly. Sporting an amazing 120 levels, to grow into, the chance of you conquering it, soon, is low. The tabs are the main structure of the MMO. Allowing you to focus on individual parts of the game, one thing at a time. The survivor tab allows you to track your growth, as well as participate in bi-monthly events. The item tab allows renaming of your character, upgrading, treasure hoarding, equipment overview and pet raising. The Shelter tab resembles a survival type game section, with hybrid city builder functionality. The Explore tab allows the searching of hundreds of cities, ruins, dungeons and fighting of powerful bosses. Caravans collect resources and revenue and vaults contain high rarity treasures that will make you much stronger. The clan tab allows you to create your own community of friends. The pvp tab allows you to fight any player in the game. Lost Vault is very much an everyday play for a about 30 minutes type of game. You can invest more time building up your character with the best gear in game. You can focus on pvp, if you like. Personal growth is where Lost Vault is both the best and then, later, the most challenging. Shelters can be upgraded to extreme proportions. Keeping wealth and resources is an entirely fun game on its own. Masterly is something you learn over years. Pets are interesting distractions. Combining gems, upgrading gear, giving to your clan, conquering the arena at whatever bracket you choose is a profession of types. World bosses do attack on Mondays. Special events offer greater resource and leveling rewards. Companions are diverse and offer a strong help in exploration and pvp. Clan structures are a great way to get more out of your daily trips in the tabs. The developer is solid, kind and incredibly supportive of the visually impaired community. So, everything is completely accessible to all. Bug fixes are solid. Overall, you can not have an iPhone without having Lost Vault. It is a game you should expect to have fun playing for several years. Notifications are strong and reliable. That is our review. We do have several dozen episodes of each class, we play. Check them out on our Youtube channel: Game Double Tap. Cheers, Mates.
Good game, only a couple dollars to remove ads.
This apocalyptic sci-fi game is really fun and accessible with voiceover. Really enjoying it so far.
Very enjoyable to play, very accessible for the visually impaired.
Love this game. Thank you so much.
This game is fabulous. We love the clan system. We love leader boards we love building shelters, we love, fighting enemies, exploring, increasing stats and making gems enchanting items. This game is just a perfect fit for us. Great job and we hope you can make even more fabulous games.
Love this game. We look forward to playing it everyday. Think Im addicted.
Its a basic strategy game similar to LordsKnights but much better in our opinion. Battle, other players, upgrade your shelter, create a clan or join one, and use your skills to come up with a great strategy. If you like time-consuming games that will keep you busy and addicted, this is the game for you.
We really love this game. It is very addicting. We play this game every day thank you developer for making this game fully accessible. For blind users that use iPhone and the screen reader called voiceover we hope to see future titles. Thanks and have a good day.
Its a good game, the only problem is that the tutorial is pretty trash.
The game isnt that bad. Its actually pretty good. Theyve improved the tutorial since the last time we played it it used to be unplayable before but now the games at W.
Super fun game, we love figuring out strategy.
Entertaining and we like that you have to use your mind in critical thinking skills fun game.
Im enjoying this awesome gift!!!! Thank U for making this fully accessible!!! Keep up the great work.
We lovve this game. It is a good game with lots fun things to do.
Grate game we love it keep it up.
We found this game mostly by accident. We are still learning the finer points, but we are enjoying it immensely! This game gives you a reason to continue playing. Youre always driving for something better, and more interesting. Thank you for something so fun, and most importantly Accessible.
Its a good game, but it needs accessibility improvements. When your on the main screen looking at your stats it jumps to rank, it does it on the other screens too. Thank you for the game.
A while took us a while to explore this game and figure out how to do it but its pretty fun.
This is a great game that is accessible to the blind and visually impaired users. Very enjoyable and easy to navigate.
Our blind granddaughter recommended this game because it is accessible for her to play and enjoy. We like to play games together and talk about them. At first it was complicated to figure out but now Im really enjoying it. Its fun.
When we are scrolling through something, sometimes it will take us into a whole different section that we have not clicked on yet. This is really annoying because it interrupts what we were trying to read. We dont know if theres anyway to fix this, but if there is, that would be great. Otherwise, this game is.
Light on the monetization. Solo dev project. Dev listens to the players. Not many games out there like this one. A real hidden gem.
We love how you have different upgrades you can do in this game. We just love it all.
Interesting magic system. It could do with the story for players to follow. And we also wish that you could choose which abilities you use instead of it being an auto battler.
Really cool without being too pushy on the in app purchases. Quite awesome.
