Community Insight:
This game sooo dope.The storyline and everything is on point,but just the missions (lvl9) are annoying sometimes.But overall the game dope.we felt emotional when it ended.
We remember when we were like 8 and we fell in love with this game on a family friends old iPad. Even now, this game is one of our favorites. Time for us to finally beat it . We wish people made more female lead mythology based games. We would be SOLD. We also love how simple this is. We love flying around.
We loved this game so much when we were a child and we searched for it recently and Im so happy that we finally found it.
Id like to congratulate the developers . Refreshing and simple , keep it coming folks. You have a whole genre to master. Bravo.
Love this game and we used to play it on wii. But on iPad theres a bug caused by the ads in the game. Every time an ad plays it freezes the controls and makes her walk to the left endlessly.
We loved this game growing up and to see it here brings us joy but we noticed there is a pretty big problem with it. We noticed after an ad pops up and you close it nyx will walk on here and you cant stop her that your forced to exit the level and do it all over. Its happened to us atleast 10 times. This needs to be fixed asap.
We found this game from YouTube and it is really fun. We love the story and how you dont have to learn really hard moves to be able to get somewhere. The reason however that this is three stars instead of five is first, there are so many adds! Every checkpoint an add every time you die if you want to go back to the last checkpoint add. We know you can remove them for 3 dollars but it is a 2d adventure game for goodness sakes why do we need adds? There is also a glitch every once in a while where after a point where you are talking to someone you will keep walking forwards even though we are not holding down forward making it really hard to play the game. And to fix it we have to get out of the game and back in which wouldnt be too bad if it didnt mean we lost all our money progress. Other than those two things the game is really fun and we like it.
Its a great idea, but it definitely needs some bugs to be fixed. We think if it was worked on more it could be a really good game. Right now it already is a pretty decent game but it could be better.
The game doesn't work with the full screen on the iPhone 14 pro max.
Sooooo when Id downloaded this app we were so excited but it wouldnt let us in it would just show us our Home Screen again.
We have the same problem randyman had. The game is going great until you watch an ad, then you cant stop her from continuing to the righ, no matter how many times you pound on the left direction arrow. Restarting it doesnt help with us. Please fix this bug.
Good concept but the game constantly breaks and makes it unplayable.
We purchased this awhile ago. Its a fun, unique game. For right now, all we want to ask is if theres a way to add volume control to the music and effects. Both sound great and theres a way to mute each of them; we just wish there was a way to turn down the music without having to completely mute it.
We cant open the app on our IPhone X on iOS 12. Please help.
One star cause we were not able to even play this game. It will not open on our iPhone XS Max.
One of the very first games we got when we first bought our iPhone. It's one of our favorites and we're glad it got updated after all these years, because the update reminded us how much we miss playing it.
No support for MFI gamepads so we can't play it on our TV using the HDMI adapter and a gamepad. Not a universal app so you have to pay again for iPad support.
Awosome game but we need more level Its easy and short Comon guys make huge game like this we like it so much.
Best game ever. Have had a hard time finding a new one after finishing the game.
Beautiful game. Simple well done idea. Who would think just flapping and floating would keep our attn. Your abilities evolve nicely as you go and it just challenging enough that it doesn't grow dull. We need more games like this and swordigo.
Just wish they'd update this for the iPhone 6+ so the sides of the screen aren't black bars.
We really liked it! We really hope they add more or make another one like it. We were hooked to it on the first try & it was also challenging @ times but that's what makes it so much better. Please add more or make another like it.
Great game although we do miss the multiplayer from the Wii version. Definitely worth $1.
Beautiful game. But can we get 4 inch iPhone 5 support please.
Really like this game but wish it was longer. We think we read somewhere that if you find all the secret items along the way it unlocks another level or something. Does any one know if this is true? If so will have to replay and do better this time. Just thought we would add to review to say we went back and collected all the relics for each level, and yes it does open a bonus level. Now we really wish they would update with more levels or make a part two or something. Come on folks give us MORE.
This is one of the greatest games ever made for iPhone. We loved playing it.
This game is great. Wonderful graphics and storyline :) def worth the price and time to play it, was sad when we finished the game because we enjoyed it so very much.
This game is really awesome. We really enjoy playing it and get so excited when we figure something out.
It's definitely one of the more polished games out there. It's a game you can come back to after a while and still remember the controls-a positive! A fun puzzle platformer to enjoy.
Excellent game. We're not much into wasting time with game apps but we found this one, and the topic was catching. We didn't waste our time at all; we enjoyed playing it. We want more.
Really nice game. Got a lot of fun. Thank you.
We love the theme, inactive, game play, the graphics are beautiful. Only downside the game is too short only 12 levels.
But on level 5 the controls disappear and you cannot move on the iPhone 4. Please fix! Other than that an AWSOME GAME!! :).
Good journey. We were drawn right along. Wish there was more. This is a bandage for us since the fall of Glyder :(.
We like and recommend this game. It's simple, fun, and looks great.
Very impressed with this game. Great graphics and game play. Had us totally addicted. Would reccomend to all our friends.
Excellent graphics and gameplay. Incredibly engaging with a steady increase in difficulty to stay challenging.
O jogo maravilhoso, musica, jogabilidade, tudo em perfeita harmonia. Nota 10.
We love Greek mythology and was stunned to find an actual game with that theme. Please make a sequel or extra levels because we can't get enough of this game.
Beautiful game design. More than worth the cheap price. Easy, but fun game to finish.
Pretty good game, it gets a little repetitive but the story makes it worth while. Ending is a little disappointing, But beautiful graphics, and overall good game.
Lol we got it for free very long time.
Great game, as a hint to those who get stuck, remember it is interactive. All it takes is a touch.
Este juego a sido el mejor en mi iPod lo amo por favor hagan una segunda parte de nyxquest por favor este juego no puede terminar asi . Grasias por leer este mensaje por favor tomen mi consejo :).
We played a lot if games for the iPhone and we must say this we one of the best we played the fall back are it pretty much easy to beat and it not a long game but other than that great game.
This is by far the best Rpg for iPhone we have seen the game adds elements steadily and has a very smooth game style. We'd recommend this to all our friends if you don't have this app your missing something great.
We can't get past level two at the part that we think is bear the end we don't get it there is no possible way to get past it we have been trying for at least an hour! Help us.
Amazing game and waiting for more levels/ games like that! And thank you! We love it. This game and everyone should have it.
We knee this was a short game so we waited till it was free got lucky good thing cuz our only 2 problems with this game are one how long it takes to beat the game if ur good at it then u can blow through the 12 levels in a day or a few hours if u want to in one sitting. And our second quibble with the game that's major is the file size 138mb or something in that area. It's massive for such a short game. Then our final con is that The controls sometimes stick or don't respond resulting in multiple touches to get the desired effects sometimes for example we would have to tap an object 2 or more times especially enemies when u start unlocking powers they all take several tries to finally work and then it takes several tries to get any of them to work so the controls could use some tweaking and optimizing. Also this was only a problem for us on the last level but when u have to Jump from breakable block to breakable block and u have the daughter of Zeus power not going to spoil it's thing. But the move and jump controls were lined up perfectly with the destructable blocks so we would try to walk or jump and end up destroying a vital part of the ground beneath us. And this is at a time when ur frantically tapping away at enemies and fireballs from the sun. Other then that the final last con about this game that we had was that the cutscene subtitles go away to fast. It should be changed to tap to continue next line of dialogue and add a skip button so tapping anywhere doesn't skip the hole sequence. We ended up missing allot of the dialogue and having to replay it plus it's written in a strange font and small on iPod touch so a bit hard to read and goes too fast minor complaint tho still. This is overall a great game dont let these cons stop u from playing it cuz it's not a bad game and it may sound like theres allot of cons here but this is just to the dev so they can improve the game not reasons to not get it cuz this is a triple a title and we feel bad for the reviewer who left 1star and thought it was just another runner game when it's not that at all this is like a Mario game almost if Mario were in Greek mythology times and had a quintuple jump and glide ability with wings. It's also like a Zelda game it has more of that feel but it's a 2.5d side scroller thats beautiful graphics when the brightness is turned up on ur device on low settings it maybe hard to see but when it's bright everything looks great. But the adventure and puzzles feel like a side scrolling Zelda feel not copy and also has the feel of metroid since as u go u aquire all these new abilities such as controlling wind and fire lightning it makes u feel pretty powerful and this game was a joy to play yeah it starts out a bit slow and is over all too soon but it has a good story beyond the reason ur on the quest is to find Icarus ur love whos wings melted and he fell from the sky and u play as nyx hence the name to find ur lost love. But thats not the story we're talking about the dialogue that goes on with nyx and the gods and statues u meet along the way the things they have to say are very interesting and give a nice perspective on the Greek mythology world and have some philosophical meanings and undertones thats very entertaining plus u never know whats going to be around the next corner or what new ability and enemies or obstacles u will encounter next. It has just enough challenge and everything is presented as easy enough to complete within enough time and remains fun and engaging the hole time without being frustrating. The game was designed extremely well and very cleverly. The production values are pretty high and set the bar for a new standard of adventure titles on the iOS. The replay value though is not that high as u can probably beat this game in one sitting of 4-6 hours if ur skilled and the only incentive to replay would be to collect all of the collectables that can be found on each level some are easy others may have u too frustrated to attempt to collect. So we just went on and continued our quest as we don't think they change anything other then making it the equivalent of getting 3stars on every level of most puzzlers. Bottom line over all the pros outweigh the cons and this is a great adventure game not just an endless runner every level is different looking and has another feel to it as u travel through ancient Greek and encounter all the gods from the mythology and it makes for a fun theme. The gameplay is solid it may start out slow but just stick with it and it will addict u especially when u start acquiring abilities. The only con about the abilities is that it seems like u go through half the game with none or one ability and then in the last half u quickly gain every ability gets handed to u pretty quickly compared to the pace of the 1st power. We think more people would have stayed longer had they gotten some abilities a bit faster as for half the game we didn't expect to gain anymore then the one we had and was pleasantly surprised when we came across more n by the end we felt pretty powerful and could quickly kill enemies that had been a pest to us for the majority of our quest. Verdict: pass! :) 5stars So we can RECOMEND this to allot of people those who are into ancient Greece will be very intrigued. If u like Zelda but in a 2d format if u like platformers we typically don't but the 5jump wing flap and glide made it better for us and the addition of abilities made it cool to. If u like metroid this is kind of like it not the free roam part but the part how u gain abilities as u progress. Any one who like adventure games will enjoy this. It's not the fastest paced game but it's still pretty good. We give it an A we would give it an A plus if the minor cons that we mention above mainly the unresponsive controls but it was only a minor nuisance that and the text goes too fast and a bit hard to read thankfully this isn't how all the dialogue is formatted only the cinematic parts which are only a few. Worth $1.
