Gorgeous on iPad, UI needs a tweak

Love this absolutely beautiful story about hope in the face of overwhelming adversity, art style is so unique and well done 🥰 It’s a tough puzzle game but doesn’t punish you for making mistakes- it encourages you to try again. Working out a new section of a particularly tricky puzzle is so satisfying, I find myself more interested in trying something else than I am bummed I died. All that being said, the card system should be brought forward, over the UI, so it can be used when the level goes further off the screen. I love the captions but I hate that they also sometimes block the cards.

Excellent Game, As others say, some UI issues

Picked up this game sometime last week and have been playing it quite frequently! Very enjoyable artistic style and strategy! Difficult enough for you to spend a little time planning and being creative while not being overly frustrating. The story doesnt especially grab me; I loved the different maps for the chapters, and really liked that you could demo the first few before paying to really get a taste of the game. That being said, as others have mentioned, the UI gets tricky to navigate when cards start covering each other up. I was able to make it through the game anyways, but not without some trial and error. All in all, I definitely think its worth the money and was a very enjoyable game! Im hoping to go back through and collect all the achievements.

User Interface Needs Work

I wanted to like this game. The gameplay is a creative take on turn-based combat, and the art style is wonderful. That being said, I cannot read anything because the text is too small. Playing on an iPhone XR, and the text in the top left is nearly impossible to read even with the phone 8 inches from my face. Everything in the user interface is much too small. I replayed the first level 3 times because I didn’t know that I needed to click the next level on the world map. The yellow completed symbol is too close in color to the map color to be seen on a phone. If you make some sizing adjustments, this game could be great!

Definitely a game to play 👍

This game is pretty cool ones you understand the controls of the game and how the gameplay works then it pretty simple and the upgrades makes it easier to get those levels and collecting skulls I didn’t expect to enjoy this game it a great game and the story line are great 👍 each chapter is different but I enjoy this. It’s similar to Mario plus rabbit which could be the reason why I’m having fun in this game the developers did a great job 👏

A wonderful challenge

This game is gorgeous, the music is lovely, and the voice acting is on point. The only complaint I have is, like everyone else, that if you are on the leftmost column of the map you can’t shoot arrows because the card is covered by the UI. Well, that and I would like more of the game but I think it may be better at this length.

Just finished to demo and loved it

I litterally only just finished the demo and im already in love with it. I also love how they let you teat out the game before you actually buy in and play the full version. Also, It is a pretty low price for such a hogh quality game.

Great game, BAD PORT. Not fully playable, wait for fix

Ok the game itself is really fun, however it’s clear that they put little to no effort in porting this from PC. Sometimes, the UI element you need to touch, especially the arrow, is hidden by other UI elements such as the banner along the side. A sliver will be showing and if you try 1000 times you might be able to select the arrow. Otherwise, RIP. Also, the instructions tell you to hover over an element to find out something about it via tooltips. However, there is no hover on an iPad. So i can’t do that. I’ve tried tapping, long pressing, etc, but when a new enemy type appears I have to just guess what it does. Very lazy port. Please test your game prior to release.

Actually pretty good

I normally don’t like turn based games but thanks to assist mode I can play this without stressing out too much. I love the graphic style and hope for more content down the road.

Howl is an absolute delight once it's mechanics click. What initially appears as a simplistic tactical RPG soon morphs into a devilishly...
