Community Insight:
We love this game the gambles of theft, the suspense of fighting the final boss of a tournament, and the advice overall its a great game we would definitely recommend it.
We like the graphics and the vibe, will be purchasing the next swords and sandals.
We go to battle and it asks us to preform a noble deed, but there are no cards left and no option to move us to battle, either fix this or make the option to move to battle more obvious.
This a fun Swords and Sandals game if you are a fan of the series. It is a charming RPG with many more features and things to do than the other games. It is tough in the beginning and can be frustrating but, as you level up, you will feel your character becoming more powerful. (For our character, around lvl 10 is when we started settling into the game and piling currencies, not losing many battles, etc) Fun little mini games, some RNG, and medieval trivia all packaged in a unique S&S game.
We havent even started the app yet and we know we will love it, ive used to play sns1 for hours on end when we found it as a flash game. And then as the new ones came out we played them all we even bought the bundle :) you guys make great games that always bring a smile to our face. We used to play sns4 with our wife and that was a pain sometimes we tried sns5? The one where you choose a family name and glitched it because us and our brother had the same family name we couldnt search our characters. With love you should make sns6 :).
This game is great, lots of nostalgia for us with the swords and Sandals series. This installment of this series is definitely different from the others The art style is different and depending on how you look at it better. We do like the more simplified stats, but what we like about it has an equal amount of downside in our opinion. Now that down side is primarily because of the luck system. The luck system… The higher our luck gets it almost seems like more bad things happen more often with almost no affect on the amount of times good things happen. Ive been able to get passed most tournaments Ive got stuck on. However Im either stuck longer or just straight up cant get passed a tournament because of how often our skills get decreased. That being said, we do love this game and the rest of the series, but we do think the luck system needs to be reworked. For every positive stat increase we get, we would have already gotten like 10 stat decreases… Because of the this, the knight is very risky person to have in your entourage. Other than that, Id still recommend this game to other people.
Its takes too many battles to level up after level 15. Gets boring. Im getting the same experience for killing level 20s as level 3s. Experience should be 700 at that stage.
Not our favorite out of the ones to download, but still entertaining.
It would be a good game if not for the bugs that drag it down. Everytime we play we use the same character name. However, the game recycles your old characters to have you fight against. In this next tournament, the first knight is always one of our old characters with the same exact name. Whenever we defeat him, it says Im the one who died and we have to resurrect. Literally the first deaths in our current play through are from this bug. We cant progress in the game anymore because of this. Very cool.
While it is not hard to get past lvl 4 like some other (very dumb) people have said in their reviews, this game has so many problems. Randomly losing the ability points youve worked so hard to get must be one of the worst game mechanics Ive ever seen.
Nearly impossible to win first tournament, unnecessarily hard, even on standard difficulty.
THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST GAME we HAVE EVER PLAYED FIX YOUR GAME DEVS THE FIRST BOSS IS TOO HARD AND IVE READ OTHER REVIEWS THEY ALL AGREE.
You get stuck at level 4 and the tournament boss is too hard to beat even with all the armor.
You stop getting xp from battles at level 4, and it tells you that you have to do tournaments to get more xp…. But you dont get xp in tournaments, so you are stuck at level 4 forever. Literally unplayable.
We have loved this game series since we were a little kid. This mobile version does the original ones great justice, though there are a few annoying features. We dont like the luck system, and how enemies can randomly push you off the edge of the battlefield instakilling you. If these were removed, then this game would definitely deserve 5 stars.
This game is really addictive. We've been a fan of the Swords & Sandals series since the first one. We hope you consider releasing more from the series on mobile and on Steam.
This game is literally addicting an fun. Best game out in the App Store.
However we're having a hard time playing this one it crashes often during loading screens in game on ipad 2.
