I guess I’ve reached a certain age but I can’t read any of the text in the menu. I got stuck at a level because I’m supposed to read the mission details and literally can’t read any of the text, the font is too small. I’m not going to jack up the font size on my entire phone just for this one game. Guess they need a geezer warning on apps (though this is the first time I haven’t been able to use an app or game because the font is illegible). I also tried changing the resolution setting in the app and it didn’t help.

A GREAT metroidvania but the final boss genuinely just destroys the game. It’s so unfair, poorly designed and entirely not fun. The difficult spike is genuinely absurd.

got this for my Switch a while back and then saw it on sale here and figured why not. Now I’ve played it more on iOS than on my Switch. =P Very nice and easy to recommend Metroidvania with some pretty nice combat and enough exploration to keep you busy for hours and hours. Plus, it’s another console-quality game on iOS that’s no IAP, what’s not to love? Fans of the genre should definitely have this game on at least one of their gaming systems.

I grew up playing the original Metroid and Castlevania games and this is a near perfect homage. The controls are obviously a little harder because it’s on the phone, but that does not detract from the joy of the game. One of the few games I even tried to get good at playing. I hope there is more to come in the future.
- Rapping nomad · v1.1.4
I enjoyed it so much I wish the developer did a sequel/continuation of the game.
- Artorious the benevolent · v1.1.4
Great concept but horribly bad for mobile. The controls are laggy and inconsistent.
- charleyvivian · v1.1.4
Bewe im stuck and I have 1 Month or 2 but i like it is a good game but in getting frutation i need help
- OnixVergk · v1.1.4
I am not compelled to complete Haak. The game does not rely on the grappling hook concept as much as one might expect. It is a basic game in the Metroidvania genre (Metroidvania games have a maze-like design) with some interesting story/design choices that resemble current times rather than the past or future. This makes the game somewhat interesting. Technically, Haak does take place in the future from 2025 when this review was written. The problem is that the controls do not live up to the interesting elements of Haak. I must have gotten 7-10 hours through the game before deleting it do to boredom. Two-dimensional games with digital circle pads, regular circle pads, or control sticks feel like a waste of an opportunity every single time.

Well all that needs to be said is in the title of this post. This game is a hidden gem and I hope more people will be as lucky as I was to have found it. This is a new classic imo. The devs nailed it! Please keep the content coming!
- JWKAllDay · v1.1.4
Great game, very underrated and worth the 2.99 give it a try
- harmaceuticals · v1.1.4
This game is def a rare find. One of my favorite games to date. I hope the devs keep up the good work. I’ve paid for a lot of games and had buyers remorse, not with this. Only thing I would ask is that to make this five stars is an update that lets you play music in the background so if I want to hear something other than the game soundtrack I can. But the game sound track is still awesome didn’t stop me from putting in 10 plus hours so far.

I just realized that this version doesn’t have the black and white dlc yet and the news had me a bit disappointed :( I hope it gets an update soon I love the game. <3

用Xbox手柄玩的时候游戏里已经打开了震动开关，但是手柄没有震动效果，游戏的画面比例没有适配16:10比例，制作组请尽快适配一下谢谢！

Hadn’t heard of his game until seeing it in the iOS App Store and was pleasantly surprised to see it also had a Mac version. Plays really nice, and is fun so far (only about an hour in). However, there’s no way to sync progress between your Mac and iPhone. So you have to pick which device you want to play it on and then stick to it. iCloud saves should be added!
- ShovelSprite · v1.0
This is a very fun game with compelling story. Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow external audio to play so I can’t listen to podcasts while exploring. Please update to allow external audio and make it perfect!

In the new dlc where you go into baak mind it crashed right when I was at the end with all my abilities with the presumed final conversation but when I went back the chess pieces were all completed but I lost all my abilities and the collectible ability’s were gone too. I am stuck for now and can’t get out of baak mind
- Biolgiy · v1.1.3
I buy this on every platform it’s on to support the developers. Amazing metroidvania.
- ipetloudog · v1.1.3
I had a blast with this one. in the same league as my favorites in the genre. hollow, metroid, axiom, sundered this one has it all I really hope people are playin this one. I am lookin forward to what is next :-)
- Sebastian_blu · v1.0
The game is incredible, however it crashes from time to time, saving games on Icloud would also be great, I use an Ipad, Bionic A13 and IOS 16.1
- sanedark · v1.1.2
100 percent complete everything with touchscreen controls. The only proper MV I’ve ever experienced on phone. Definitely recommend, beautiful game with diverse landscapes and incredible vistas. Not too hard not too easy. Great game.
- Dustyyyy6 · v1.1.0
i recommend every indie game fans to play a game like this, there’s much to it from story, mechanics, music, graphics, everything is well-balanced and i hope that the developers wont stop soon of making more dlcs and adding more stuff to the game.
- PaSha5404 · v1.1.0
There needs to be an update to fix the bug that freezes your characters movement to the last input. Notice it when using a controller device that if you take damage the game glitches you into the last movement input, causing you to continue running or crouching or whatever the last movement input is. My devices are up to date with the latest firmware so this isn’t a client issue.

有感太差了
- 4WoCchan · v1.0.2
It would be great if I could use my Backbone to play this game. Great game either way tho.
- GeronimoSplatt · v1.0.2
If you plan on using a touchscreen, there’s a bug where you can’t go though floors, making the game unplayable. I tried using an iPhone 7+ and an iPhone 11 Pro Max
- assault_is_eternal · v1.0.2
Absolutely amazing game! The developers really did a fantastic job, it plays like a great console indie and has good controller support. The story and gameplay is great and they even have an Akira character as an NPC. Definitely worth getting to support the dev team! We need more games like this on iOS!
- TH1S6UY · v1.0.2
Solid game. Probably one of the better games on iOS. Top ten in my book for mobile games. Doesn't have that mobile game feeling. Great soundtrack and sounds. Great storyline. Very good graphics and effects. However it was far too easy in my opinion when it came to the bosses, coming from years of gaming (grown up playing nes, super nes, pc, etc) but for someone newer to gaming might find it hard. They could of added more fighting than platforming. I am also a snob when it comes to gaming, and realize that not everyone that is gonna play this will have a controller. Other than that its a really well done game that the developers should be proud of. Look forward to more games by the developers.
- Soldion51 · v1.0.2
This is a very well made platformer and I recommend you buy it. It’s been a lot of fun so far and love has been put into it I’m having some trouble with the iPad controls however and this would be the first iOS game I’d consider a controller for. I’m able to adjust the controls which is amazing. But when I do one of the gameplay features gets lost: I’m no longer able to crouch and drop below platforms. Then I have to reset the controls to the default settings and I’m able to crouch and drop below the platforms. And then I have to change them back to how I prefer them. I’m hoping the developer sees this and can assist me and I’ll be happy to update my review because this is a really fun and unique game and there’s a lot here to love. Just having some technical difficulties.
- AnemicMe · v1.0.2
Fantastic game. Very well done.
- M. Salvati · v1.0.2
Game keeps crashing! After spending a few hours completing the Brewery level, the game crashed when I was returning to New Sanho. The game now refuses to load my saved game! Every time I try to load my saved game file, it automatically crashes the game! I lost 20hrs of game play... :( Developers: please help...
- xertes · v1.0.2
Superb quality. One of the best games available on iOS. That said, Apple TV support with cross save would be ideal. This is the sort of game that should be on Apple Arcade.
- Lukasskott · v1.0.2
I contacted the dev on Steam and asked if the iOS version had controller support. He quickly replied with “yes.” I’m using a PS5 gamepad. The game is amazing. Its the most fun I’ve had w/ a game on iOS since Deadcells. It’s a solid metroidvania that is story rich.
- Samizdat5150 · v1.0.2
Great world building, interesting characters all around. Exploration is fun and developed nicely. It’s easy to teleport around the map using the “teletoilets” and you can also leave markers for stuff to come back to later. The touch controls are customizable and work really well—I would like to be able to move them a little closer together but it’s ok. Overrule great game and easy recommendation.
- Karlinc · v1.0.1
I’ve been a huge fan of the Metroidvania genre and this game really surprises me with the high quality. This console-quality game just check all the boxes a good Metroidvania game should have: * Great storyline and settings * Well-crafted maps and level design * Smooth actions and controls * Huge variety of skills/moves to unlock * Lots of collectibles Other than the points mentioned above, it also features a quest system that you can get quests from NPCs or during explorations, and these quests are not just beat these monsters or collect these items. These quests are actually supported by stories and help you progress the game or understand more about the settings. I would highly recommend this game to any Metrovania lovers and would highly recommend to play it with a physical controller as it might become challenging in later stages of the game when you need precise inputs at a really fast pace.

优化优化操作方式吧，给虚拟摇杆加个十字按键模式吧，搓方向总是走走停停，打个boss走位走的难受
- Grainnnnn · v1.0.1
I like metroidvanias, plays really well on my backbone controller. I was really pleasantly surprised with how extensive the story is. I'm really invested in the world.
