Pros and cons of Cthulhu Saves the World app for iPhone and iPad
Cthulhu Saves the World app good for
I bought it on steam.
Then i bought it on my iPhone to take it everywhere with me. Its the only game i ever paid for and no doubt, its worth it.
10/10 would buy again
The quality of the presentation is a bit off, but everything else is great - the combat is fluent and not-cheap, the story and dialoguse are funny and cute and its CTHULHU! The game is more than worth it for its prise. Im taking one star away just because of the blurry texturse - pixels need true ID. I want to see squares on the pixels, not blurred squares.
Loving the game so far but it needs an update. Virtual dpad is needed along with screen rotation. Only giving a good review because I am faithful the debs will update.
The game in general is funny its like a classic 16 bit adventure but feels new there is a lot of jokes in the game and it will keep you entertained for a long time but there are a couple bad things about it the first one is there is no screen rotation which should be in every app by now the second thing is that the controls are very glitchy but they already said there gonna fix that soon and the final bad thing is that because its on iPhone and iPad I wish they would use some type of iCloud save so that I could play the game at home on my iPad and continue my game on my iPhone. But overall its a funny good rpg that just needs a bit of tweaks if you want a more polished version just buy it on steam for pc.
I have no problem w/ it or crashes and controls arent too bad, it just need some time to get used to. But I do prefer d-pad option as well. I think u should get it :)
A lot of reviewers are giving one star simply because they want a d-pad. Honestly the controls work fine how they are. The entire screen is your dpad, meaning you arent limited in the way you hold your phone while playing.
I am about halfway through the game at the time of this review and have had zero crashes and an overall great game experience. Good characters and an amusing story. Highly recommended to fans of old school RPGs.
Some bad moments
I feel the game needs a virtual d-pad and a screen rotation feature. Sorry for the bad review.
I love the style and all the retro touches but the game is simply too hard to play in its current state. Add a d-pad for movement and maybe an easier way to select attacks (ie I can touch item instead of having to scroll down and hi A to select item) and I will change this to a five star rating for sure :)
The game looks good but I cant get past the first zone because it crashes once i enter a battle, controls are difficult but manageable. -Fix crashes -add D pad = 5 stars
this version crashes all the time. especially during boss battles!
please fix this so we can enjoy this game!
Really good game and really happy to see it on the store but... Bad controls. Hard to move around and, imo, unplayable. A virtual arrow pad could help a lot.
Played on steam and wanted to start over on mobile. I have yet to get past the 3 heroes as the app crashes every single time I defeat them.
This really is an excellent game and I would gladly give it 5 if the crashes would just stop.
D-pad would be nice but can live without it.
