I played this wayyy back in the day, like 2013 I believe, and remembered it being one of the best gaming experiences I'd ever had on my phone. Coming back to it now though, well... i finished it in a day if that says anything, it's still fun, but it has aged a bit for me. Not the graphics. Love those. But some parts of the game were pretty frustrating/ tedious to be honest, which is why i'm giving it 4 stars. Still hoping for an eventual sequel!

I enjoy the game and the price is quite reasonable. that said, it has its issues. first, the magic armor that says it quarters the damage, doesn't. it only halves the damage. Decond, your dude won't turn while swinging his sword. So to turn while fighting you have to wait for him to be completely done swinging, push turn, them swing some more. It won't save the fact that you pressed turn and turn your dude at the next available time. Third, the gameplay difficulty is uneven.

Awesome combination of an RPG, platformer, and puzzle game. The gameplay and combat is simple but very fun, the world is very expansive with engaging dungeons and enemies, and the progression of power and character customization is nice and satisfying. I've played through the whole game about 10 times, each time going through and challenging myself in a new way. Here's hope for a Swordigo 2 at some point in time!

Absolutely amazing. It's the feeling of simplicity that really makes this game fun. Its a pretty classic artstlye, which sort of makes it better. If you've had a bad day, or did a lot of hard work, you don't want to sit down and break your brain about a game. I played this in about a week, and not heavily, so it's a pretty short game. Not at all laggy, no long loading screens, and the ads aren't intrusive, since they're mostly 5 second skip ads.

This game is pretty fun and has a lot of potential. I wish the devs had gone with a different art style. The graphics are like an old veggietales episode. Weird 3D like when they first started making 3D animation. It's an otherwise good game that is super reminiscent of Zelda. Surprisingly long game which is great. Lots of paths and areas and bosses.

A great game! Played to 100% completion! Though not flawless, it's easily one of the best I've ever played on any Android device; even had a vibe like & some elements reminiscent of Legend of Zelda to it. I am quite appreciative of the UNCOMPLICATED level-up system. The gameplay wasn't always easy to conquer; some challenges were just difficult enough to keep things interesting for me. Beautiful overall. More like this, please! 🤓

This is one of my favorite games that I've played in mobile now. Overall the gameplay is wonderful. Love the leveling up, love the trinkets and swords to find, love all the hidden chests and puzzles. The combat is honestly perfect because it can be so frustrating at times instead of just super easy. The controls are a bit rusty but the ability to adjust the buttons makes it much better. Overall 10/10

Finally, a good Android adventure game, and light and short on the ads, though I bought the compass for a little help with no ads. Engaging gameplay, great game design, and a somewhat intriguing world. Touchscreen controls are actually manageable and customizable! However, the character uses the sword like a novice, leading to unnecessary difficulty because that's the only way he uses the sword. Oh well.

I love that this game was beatable without having to spend a bunch of money. There are only 3 purchase options. You can buy a doubler that will double your currency, a compass (to help find objectives), and/or you can donate to the developers. Each purchases is under $2. Swordigo was adequately difficult, but not impossible. The graphics are simply beautiful. I experienced no glitches, and gameplay was really smooth. I really hope there's a Swordigo2 in the works, I'd download in a heartbeat.

This game is great! It has a very minimal tutorial, so be aware, however if you enjoy figuring things out for yourself, dive in! The puzzles are fun, the secrets... Well... You gotta go looking. The game play and leveling are simple and progress smoothly, and once you grasp the controls you can get anywhere! A few tricks to combat are tougher to find, some boss battles may require a bit extra leveling, but it is well worth the time. This game is well crafted and built for long-time play.

Swordigo is an immersive platformer with solid controls, neat level design, and a fun, fantastical setting. I wish it was longer, to be honest. Some of the boss fights are a little janky, and enemy attacks do a ridiculous amount of knockback, but these quibbles hardly ruin the game. You'll be hard pressed to find a better fantasy platformer for your phone.

I've played through this game several times actually. I love the game style, it's challenging without being so difficult it's not fun. The puzzle elements are interesting and a great tribute to traditional platformer games. The controls are smooth, responsive, easy to remember, and adjustable. The ads are placed at points they won't disrupt gameplay too much, while still giving profit to the developers for their hard work. The storyline is a bit cliche, but overall I'd definitely recommend.

This is probably one of the greatest mobile games I have ever played. I have completed it multiple times since it first came out, and the charm never seems to wear off. This game is what Zelda II should have been (there is a nice little reference to that game). The leveling system, mechanics, platforming, and enemies are so close to perfect. Mastapeece 5/5.

SWORDIGO is the best FREE adventure game I've ever found. The controls, layout, theme, music, goals, items, everything is nice and simple. Nothing feels out of reach and completeing the game is just fun to do. And even when you do get all decked out, the game remains challenging, and I mean it has the origional Zelda way of figuring things out. Well done. I'm happy to move on from this and see what you guys have next.

Really fun game! Had a great time playing it! Simple but gets challenging in the later levels. Enjoyed trying to find all the hidden treasures. Paid to support the developers. One thing though: you really should make the sword swing able to pick up the shards and enemy drops. A few times I wasn't able to get them after opening a chest or if they were too close to the next area entrance. Would also be helpful when jumping between platforms after killing an enemy, or if they are falling into a pit

I saw this game suggested multiple times when looking for mobile games like Dark Souls. After playing it, I realized that it's almost nothing like DS, not even difficulty-wise. It's mostly comparable to Zelda games (except it's a 2D platformer). However, I can say that it's a well-made game. Controls are so good, I forgot I was playing a mobile game at times. Music is decent. Gameplay/Progression is paced well & can hook you in (I got all achievements). One of the best mobile games I've played.

Really fun mindless game. Not super challenging which is kind of perfect for just messing around. I have noticed after any length of time playing the jump button becomes less responsive and double jump becomes basically null. But I'm not super complaining about that because that's usually about what time I need to stop playing. Most of the ads are fine, there's a couple that I just shut the game down and restart it because it takes literally less time.
