Unbroken Soul

An okay game.. but I have a number of issues with this game. Let’s just go down the list. 1. Movement is too fast and isn’t correctly calibrated so you drag along platforms making it hella hard to land sometimes. 2. Controls don’t seem to be calibrated right either. I had to tap multiple times to even move once I jump or slide along the wall, cause many many many pit deaths. 3. Man, the health. You lose WAY too much health when fighting a regular enemy. Even on easy i found my health gone after 3 hits. Unreal and very annoying. 4. No way to dodge, dodge button would have been very useful. And you can’t attack from every angle an enemy attacks from. I.e: There’s an enemy directly above you coming down, but you bow only angles to a slant so you can’t avoid getting hit unless you move, and like I said before, controls aren’t calibrated right so it’s a hassle trying to maneuver. 5. Not a big problem but I’m big on this in the gaming world: RUNNING ANIMATION. Why does it look like he’s jogging? I mean come in, the way a character moves is very essential. Give my man some stride room. Pep in his step. He a king. ———- Update: tried to give it another shot and I’m STILL having major problems with the platforming and enemies hitting me even though I attack first and they’re not in range. Not to mention the enemy directly on top of you thing smh. I regret spending my $5 on this honestly. Such a shame. Had the potential to be a really good game.

Really really hard, lots of promise but the second boss is impossible. Will upgrades help?? I’ve bought some but not sure if this will help get pass this boss. Updated: upgrades help, trying to get into this again. Shows promise.

I’m a fan of 2-D, side-scrollers. Especially when they’ve a retro aesthetic. Unbroken Soul, by Oscar Ruiz, checks off all the boxes. The graphics are appealing. The gameplay is fun. The storyline is interesting. There is no IAP to be had. Lastly, this is what it claims to be—a side scrolling action platformer. It’s not an auto-runner or single screen puzzle type. The only problem I had were the touchscreen controls. They were on the small side and easy to miss. Then I found out they could be customized to my liking, which eliminated the issue. Top marks! I don’t know why this isn’t being pushed on iOS, but I am glad I happened across it. Broken Soul was money well spent.
