Sword & Glory

Right now, my goal is to get to 20,000 glory. This game is hard. You’ve gotta really think about your odds before stepping into a fight. More than that, this is actually a role playing game. Like, I’m playing a role. I’m immersed in the reality of this Viking age world. My decisions sometimes have consequences down the line. I feel like the results of my actions are more or less deserved. My only complaint is maybe of the art style. The black and white aesthetic takes some getting used to, but at the same time, the vibe that it establishes is so harsh and cold, and that fits the game very well. I’m defending my family’s honor, my faith, and trying to keep myself alive. Another complaint is that the portrayal of Christians is very stereotypical. As a Catholic, I was super happy to be able to choose Christianity as my religion. And for the most part, Christian’s are depicted in a neutral light along side the pagans and the “worldly” atheists. But the priest of the village is apparently corrupt, asking for silver in exchange for good standing with the church, and for my name to be mentioned at mass. At one point I kill a Christian who was stealing a cow, and the priest tells me I’ve betrayed the church and must pay silver for good standing with God. That’s not how this works! Is it accurate? Yes and no. There were corrupt priests, but there were also good priests. For once I would like to see a game portray the church in a positive light. But this game isn’t unique in its portrayal of Christianity, so it’s hard to hold it against this game. All in all, this is really the best RPG I’ve ever played on mobile. I honestly love it. Maybe make it a little easier though.

This game is actually pretty fun, best rpg game on the App Store. Though it has some big flaws, mainly first off is the game system. When you die you lose your perks and levels but you get to keep all your equipment the next game you start. This system is pretty challenging because if you don’t buy the games currency you basically are always stuck making it to higher levels but then failing, and it will be an endless cycle. The second biggest problem I’ve come across is the combat, now the combat in the beginning is pretty fun and you have to think quick on what move you want to play on your opponent but when you level up more the enemies get stronger than you, and the speed is horrendous, and you can’t control to move back or go forward meaning if your low on health you will go into a bloody fury by your enemy. The RPG elements though are done very well and the story is nice for an indie app game. You should still try this game because it is fun it’s just I’ve stumbled on a lot of problems that I think could be fixed or changed. It is a good game though.

I absolutely love this game, as much as it may seem simple and plain at first glance every fight is action packed, there’s no second chances but there’s loads of ways to play, I’ve played this game like 50 times and I still find events I’ve never seen before because I chose a different decision or picked a random quest I’ve never done, this game is fun and as you slowly level up through all your saves you get more perks to choose from, this game is one I’ve yet to see replicated in such a way, trust me, I’ve looked and looked and have yet to find another like it, I love that the game punishes you more and more as you get older because it proves you arnt suppose to love forever, and what I love most is everything is random or has its own new options as you go, you can pay a guy, kill him, or just try to run and act like it never happened sometimes, and others you get new quests or options if you just have a slightly diff perk or chose a diff starting faction, it’s truly one I’ll either never get bored of, or at least not for a long while, hope you guys try this game too because it gets fun as you slay and slay until you find someone that finally is a match, and then try a different route to win against them, like each character that’s hard is their own mini boss for you until they just become another enemy
