Crashes
Deleted tired of it crashing
Game crashes constantly
despite not being graphically intensive at all, this game crashes extremely frequently and usually after you've just beat a boss meaning you have to redo the whole fight and if you die you lose all your progress
Controller

It has been many many many months and the game is still broken since its release
I still get kicked after i open boss chest and its mostly the lion boss in act 3. This has gone on since the game released and has not been fixed. That should be unacceptable. Its not my phone or an update i missing because ive switched phones and ive reported the problem many time directly to the support team and they still have done nothing about it. How is this acceptable for you devs to make a game that doesnt work after its been out for so long. Also theres no mobile dlc which needs added but fix your game first.
Flash back！
Every time I pass the first boss ，the game flashes back.And I can’t enter the second lever
Needs adjustment for mobile
You have the bones of an excellent game here but this is *really* meant to be played with an analog stick.
Your hits are very short, and knock back enemies. With enemies taking many hits to defeat, you’re meant to be holding right slightly so that you can pursue and land additional hits. This doesn’t work with the d-pad well at all.
This may seem like a minor gripe, but it’s fundamental to how the game plays and makes it a miserable experience.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
THIS GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. YOU WILL LOSE PROGRESS AND THE GAME WILL CRASH. A LOT. THEY WILL NEVER FIX THIS GAME AND THERE IS NO DLC ANYWHERE ON THE HORIZON. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY IT ON CONSOLE OR PC. THIS PORT OF THE GAME IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND A WASTE OF MONEY. DEVS DO NOT CARE. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
Keeps force closing
I’ve done some multiple times and nothing has come of it. This is now my second time deleting the game and re-downloading it and paying an additional eight dollars again just for the same issue to keep happening.
Act 4 boss
I didn’t have a problem in the base game with the act 4 boss. However in the dark mirror level 0 every time I beat the boss and try to open the chest the app crashes and makes me restart the battle from the beginning. I’ve beat the boss 7 times now and it keeps happening. I play this game on console as well and have never had a problem all the way through dark mirror level 10. This is really frustrating as skull is such a chance game for a good run. For this reason I give it a one star. But the game overall is by far one of the best I’ve ever played.
Trash
After beating second boss the game freezes and kicks you out
Unplayable trash on mobile
This game is fun and difficult. Until it’s completely unplayable and crashes over and over again after the 3rd major boss, making you replay the battle until you inevitable eventually lose the fight from fatigue and slink back to restart.
Fix your crashes come on…
Also I know you have a “technique” for fixing losing all your equipment after the game takes it all away from a crash or quick pause, but fix that too.
Also the controls on mobile are not very good.
If I could do less than one star for this game on mobile I would. DO NOT BUY! Get it on console or something else if you want a good experience.

游戏优化很差
这个游戏在我的iPhone14promax上达不到60帧玩起来很卡希望能优化好
no 60 fps support
why？
Unoptimized
This game seems to have been released with iphone 15 in mind, it’s near unplayable on iphone 12 i have frequently ran into frame drops, stutters, and crashes while playing resulting in significant progress loss including a run where i almost beat the first hero but it crashed halfway through, also a total lack for controller support is a massive let down considering this game does support controllers on the other platforms it’s on
A waste of 3 dollars for now
I was excited to play this game, but it keeps crashing as soon as I end the tutorial developers please fix this
Solid Game
I was actually super excited while playing. It was engaging , easy to understand and felt like it had some level of potential..
It’s been consistently crashing & I’m pretty sure I’m only on the 3rd level (just entered a castle) - I deleted and re-downloaded. I’ll give credit that it doesn’t lose my spot of where I’m at. It’s the exact same stage but every single time I defeat the wave of enemies , the game crashes.
If the devs reply’s to the reviews weren’t generic copy/paste responses I’d be more optimistic about this getting patched but clearly they don’t care and I’m out $8 or whatever it costed.

THE performance problem
I love this game so much but i play this game on iPhone 16 pro max but the game have a very low fps I don’t know why + it’s don’t have an option for fps
Crash patch
Last patch was 167 days ago according to the in game support. Still having issues with opening chests leading to the game crashing. I love the console game just wish the mobile version would work but it seems like the rumors are true the devs have abandoned this version of the game. Rip
Terrible performance
Even on an iPhone 14, the game crashes at least three times a run. I am stuck on dark mirror 0 because the game crashes after I have already beaten dark hero. I have reached the win screen in dark mirror 5 times and the game crashes every single time. I don’t understand how you can sell a game for 7.99 when players cannot progress the game due to consistent crashes.
Crashing
All in all an okay game. However, I’m using an iPhone 12 and I got to the 1st hero in dark mirror but it keeps crashing, I can’t even restart the run, the moment the game is turned on, it crashes. I read other reviews and they told to reach out in in-game chat, where is it? I need this fixed since I literally can not play the game.
so many bug
更新前玩墨镜模式4-3打完BOSS开宝箱会闪退，更新后只要进关卡就闪退......
Constant crushes
Game constantly crushes at later stage. **crushes everytime when completing dark mirror run.
when is next update
can't finish the game
Trash game. See update
This game is fun, it has all the mechanics you could ask for of a side scrolling hack and slash rogue-like rpg. However, due to it being a mobile game, the UI is often in the way of the gameplay or unresponsive, and occasionally when I try to do an action, I end up pressing another and COMPLETELY botching my run. This game is fantastic, but exists on a poor platform for showcasing all that it is. UPDATE: Forget what I said earlier, the game is COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE. Regularly closing before and after main story bosses, causing me to lose my collected skulls that I spent so much time grinding up to legendary, AND making me completely redo the fight. Fix your game devs. Because this trash is unacceptable.
