Reaper: Tale of Pale Swordsman Reviews

by Sociallyskilled

I love this game except I am so mad. It isn’t aynching with the cloud, which doesn’t bug me except every now and then a message pops up that says “your cloud game is older than your local game, revert to cloud version?” And the revert button is in the same place the Play button is. So I’ll get a bunch of levels ahead, then I’m about to hit play and this warning pops up as I’m already hitting the play button. So then I revert and go back 10 levels (and each level is 12 games which have to be won in a row to get to the next plateau).

Who put the button for that warning over the play button? The accept button could be in a different place on the screen so I can dismiss it instead of accidentally hitting it!

I just sat there and waited for the warning. And waited. Decided it wasn’t going to warn me, and the very second I hit play, the warning popped up and I clicked the revert button and went back 6 levels that I worked a long time to get back to. I’m really upset. I love the game and it was worth the paid version but this is a ridiculous and easy to fix feature.

This game is very creative and fun to play. The storyline is great and the characters are rich with personality. However, like with any great game, there are a lot of flaws. For example, the amount of times you get ambushed on your way to a quest is absurd. I will have beaten an ambush, gotten the quest, and I’m on my way to the next part in the quest when I get ambushed again. Also the difficulty spikes are ridiculous. Whatever you do, don’t ask Pako for the location of the treasure cave. Please

Let me get it out of the way that I absolutely love this game. The darkness, the subtle details, the story- all of it. Though I do have some small complaints. (Note: this is only regarding the “Wilderness” main story. Not any other
Modes/Expansions)

1. The lack of exploration- although at times they try to implement it (A good example is the blood bear side quest) it is very small and unpolished. I often find myself presented with options or situations I don’t want to meddle with but have to because I have completed everything else I can do at the moment.

2. The difficulty spike- Simply the fact that at certain parts the game can be fairly hard and frustrating. Specifically the [SPOILER ALERT]

Later in part of the game when you clear the entire map of the demons. Although some might just say “git gud kid.” But for people who want to take a more casual approach it is practically impossible.

Thanks for reading my review, That about all my complaints besides that the game is something I greatly reccomend. Bye.

Ok I just want to say that this app is one of the best games I’ve seen and played so far I mean I must have spent hours looking searching for a game filled with fights and gore but also balanced with a very good story but i also think some more work can be put in to make this app even better for example there could be an online multiplayer or you can create coustum levels allI’m saying is this is a great game but with some advice from the community this app the pail swordsman can become much much better.

This game is one of the most AMAZING games I have EVER played. Ive gotten all the way until the demongod level, and it is physically impossible. I only have 245 health, and do only 11 dmg to it. I used to do 9 damage but sold all of my armor just for a better sword, THAT DOES NOTHING! I got to the torken arena just to get a little bit of gold, to then be greeted by bad swords that wont help me. I dont know if Hexage will see this, but I just want you to maybe, just slightly lower its health.

I love this game a lot, and I remember I played it a very very long time ago on another device but.. I believe it was on the same account? The problem is that when I installed it and hit restore purchases.... it crashes every time and doesn’t restore things? Is there any way to fix this or check what’s going on..?

This game is amazing. It maintains an ominous vibe while still keeping it addicting. It’s such a surreal environment that you could get caught playing for hours on end! I’d rate it 5 stars, if it wasn’t for the random difficulty spikes and the fact that you need to pay $2.99 to unlock the full game.

I couldn’t put this game down! The story and its characters are very well done. The artwork is fantastic, simple and yet lively. I highly recommend buying the full version, because stopping at level 10 just doesn’t do this game justice, but if you want the full version, you should buy the destiny pack. If you get to the final boss but you’re at level... 33 or so, the Torken arena from the destiny pack lets you level up easily so it isn’t so hard to fight the final boss.

Now, I have two issues. The gold bounces so much I can barely collect any (especially the bean-shaped pieces worth 25 gold) which hurts if you use gold to regain HP. An even bigger problem is the flying enemies, like spirits and (spoiler) the final boss. Whenever I go to attack them, they back up so they’re always a certain distance away from me, like they’re not interested in attacking me. They only stop at the very edge of the level (often over a pit) and I fall off! It’s very frustrating and I’d like to see it fixed

This game is one of the few fighting based games that I absolutely adore. The graphics are simple but interesting and the gameplay is straightforward and fun. The enemies are challenging as you progress but not absolutely impossible, it’s a great balance and a well made game.

by Sheeplusdog

excellent story with bright artwork but a dark story, easy controls but hard gameplay and no lootboxes or other garbage that most mobile "games" have. Part of my personal S tier list of games comparable in quality to Console games.

by The Name Of The Game

This game is, and has always has been my favorite mobile game of all time. The story, gameplay, and choice throughout it all combines into an amazing and captivating experience that I can play dozens of time over. Thank you for creating this.

I downloaded this just to play on the side and holy crap, this game is awesome! Controls are tight, combat is fun, and story is engaging. The controls are easy to pick up, but the game itself is challenging without being frustratingly so. The dialogue is witty and fun, all without any voice acted lines, and I will definitely be buying the full version!
10/5

Maybe make a continuation where everyone likes you, but strange new enemies are attacking the wilderness? And as Femor himself said, he could be like you guide! I doubt you will do it, and this is just a very rough example, but it could work. Maybe title it “this app:
Defense of the wilderness.”

by Flob A Bob12

I have played through the game multiple times, as well as purchased all dlc. The one problem is the random encounters, they start off slow but once you get near the end you spend 3x the time on random battles than actual story battles. Besides that, 10/10

by Icp011

great game play, great story, leveling system works well. my biggest issue is the gestures some times don’t read as what you are trying to do, but this could also be my hands. I bought this game cause it was good and it never had ads, it does have a level cap but i’ll take that and pay a few bucks for a good game over an ad every 2 seconds an a crap ad factory game any day. check out the other games from this dev they are all good quality and fun!!!

Honestly, this is the best mobile game I’ve ever played. Both in terms of story and gameplay, my only complaint is that you can abuse stats and make the game easy, the difficulty was it’s greatest attribute. The brutal, punishing difficulty was enjoyable, it forces the player to play smart, Personally, I had over prepared for the final boss and accidentally became Saitama, which ruined the game’s difficulty and complexity. Please oh please Hexage make a New game plus!

by Colkil01

I first found this game a few years ago. It’s cheap, has a pretty good story and is very lengthy. My only complaint is the difficulty. As fun as the game is, some fights take try after try after try until by some miracle you win. When this happens I’ve had to lure a few enemies away from the rest of the enemies about 50 times, which takes ages. It’s still worth a 5 star, but there should be Easy, Normal, and Hard mode. Right now it’s only Hard mode.

Ive never played such an amazing platformer game. I love the combat even if it is a little repetitive it still challenges you to improve. To top it all off it has an amazingly cheap price. Im normally bored and I have about a hundred apps on my phone but this one takes the cake. Keeps me entertained for hours. My only complaint is once you start a mission you have to finish it. Ive encountered a few missions that were exceedingly tough and got a little annoyed that I couldn't play another mission or get better items. I did, however, complete them. Thank you for providing us with this game.

This game is completely free up until player level 10 and then you can pay $2.99-$4.99 to unlock the full game. There are three versions you can buy the second and third add bonus content to the game. However there are no "power ups" to buy constantly or stamina to refill or anything like that. On to the actually gameplay... Story is great for a mobile game that actually gives you a few conversation choices you can be nice or sarcastic and make storyline choices that add replay ability to it. The art style is phenomenal and the fighting mechanics aren't bad. A little challenging at first but that's not really a bad thing. You can slowly upgrade all your gear and as you level your character up you get choices to improve on (ex. Health, strength, or special abilities.) I highly recommend this game!!

I played this game years ago and finally I find it again. I loved it I could beat the game easy without the controller I love how it’s drawn designed and plays. It’s smooth as butter I hope there’s been updates cause this game would be cool if the story kept on going. I also love how I can choose what I say and what I want to do sometimes. That’s my favorite part.
