  • Summary: **Thank you, everyone who has bought the game and given feedback!** PLEASE NOTE: This game will NOT support 1st and 2nd generation devices at this time. It supports iPhone 3GS and up! iPhone 4 Retina Display and iPad resolution fully supported. What the Reviewers say: Aralon is quite simply the best RPG on the App store. -NodPad "Aralon possesses more gameplay than perhaps any other iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad game." -PocketGamer "I used to look at my iOS device as a small window into new worlds and fun experiences, and with Aralon I feel like I actually have a fully realized living and breathing universe sitting snugly in my pocket.... I think every iOS gamer needs to pick up this title just to experience what is possible on this constantly expanding mobile platform." - TouchArcade "Calling Aralon: Sword and Shadow a big game doesn’t quite do it justice. It’s big in the sense that you can fit other iPhone RPGs inside it. It’s big in the sense that it will absorb your free time the way a major console title can. In other words, your desert island iPhone game has arrived. And in case you were wondering, Aralon is great." - SlideToPlay ---------------------- That which is done cannot be undone, but it can be avenged.

    Aralon: Sword and Shadow offers just about everything you could want in a gigantic open-world RPG. If you have the time to invest, you're going to love it.

    Aralon is quite simply the best RPG on the App Store. I can't really say enough about it, but man, Galoobeth and Crescent Moon have really outdone themselves.

    One of those excellent App Store games which is difficult to find between so many similar games. It offers more than 30 hours of length, classic roleplaying gameplay and a lot of interesting possibilities with a great graphics engine.

    Crescent Moon and Galobeeth Games have succeeded in creating the greatest RPG on the App Store. The first journeys on horseback, though counties and deserts, strongly remember the great adventures in Morrowind or Oblivion, but the numerous negligences and technical issues ends up ruining the overall experience. Probably the game will be better and better with the next updates, but if you are looking for a true and deep RPG you should search elsewhere.

    What to say, best RPG on iOS. Almost mini-Morrowind. I'd like to see more side-quests, armor sets and dungeons, so waiting for second chapter or bigger add-on than the last one. Ð… Expand

    It's all most hard to describe such a game being on the iPad/iPhone, but here it s in all it's glory, Aralon is adventure of great magnitude. Its a magical feeling, it ting down, and wondering, just how such a greatly mapped affair became possible of handheld, off course Nintendo have been doing this on the ds for many years with the likes of zelda, but out if the blue comes a great world brimming to the life with, adventure, quests, and characters. The graphics are blooming brilliant, from the moment you start of creating your character, venture out, then you will find a great array of things to keep you occupied. If your looking for a worthy filler for your touchscreen, then look no further.mgreat stuff.… Expand
