DREDGE

There is absolutely no reason why people should be leaving this game a one star. Sure, it’s not for everyone, especially with the intense scenes and the eerie story, but come on. Just because you have to do a little extra work to get around the map and organize your boat and all that doesn’t immediately make it a bad game. Just because people don’t like the immersion doesn’t mean they have to blab their mouths about it. One common theme as well is complaints about pricing, and come on. It literally says in the description in all caps and bolded, “PAY BEFORE YOU PLAY” just under the in game purchases where the base game is clearly listed as the first purchase. I do agree that the price can be steep for some people, but I think it’s worth it for the amount of rich story there is to discover. Outstanding game, and I hope to play more of your guys’ work in the future!

Overall, they did a pretty great job porting over the game to a mobile version. Since the Beta (prior to 1.0 release), they still had a few controller button prompts missing, and the touch screen controls, particularly in the inventory, feel quite clunky. I also hope they improve the UI needs for customizing your vessel on Little Marrows, as those menus can be both slow and confusing (especially without visual representations of each Flag and Color options). All of the necessary components from the expansions and the base game were handled really well for the mobile version, and it still feels just like Dredge.
