Nov 28, 201270It just seems that the battle mechanics could use a little tweaking before the next episode graces the App Store.

Nov 28, 201270Featuring crisp graphics and a unique control scheme, Bladeslinger's potential has been somewhat sullied by its frustratingly unresponsive input recognition.
-
Nov 27, 201260Bladeslinger may be a showpiece on iOS for how it looks, but the gameplay was just too ambitious for the touchscreen's capabilities this time, and the overall game suffers as a result.

Dec 3, 201272Bladeslinger has a great premise, a great setting and a thoughtful, effective combat system. Its camera and unbalanced power-ups are a bummer, but neither prevented me from enjoying the frightful and intense adventure.

Nov 28, 201250You'll want to love Bladeslinger, but that love will go unrequited for the most part. Let's hope any future installments give a little more back.

Jan 2, 201365Bladeslinger is technically awesome and it's got so much potential, but everything is ruined by its cumbersome, unresponsive, terrible touch controls.
-
Nov 27, 201230Bladeslinger's combat is a mess, the controls are clunky, the story is dull, and the whole thing is hobbled by monetisation. Avoid.
-
Jan 29, 201320Bladeslinger looks stunning, but the gameplay is just as rotten as the monsters you have to kill.

Nov 26, 2012100Bladeslinger is one of the best new iOS games of the year, due to its polished combination of action, exploration, and narrative.
-
Dec 2, 201260True, the gorgeous visuals certainly warrant consideration (especially on newer iOS hardware), and the battle system is filled with potential, but the controls are a huge black mark on the entire experience.

Nov 26, 201290Bladeslinger successfully blends shooting, combat, exploration and a bit of magic in a beautiful looking package. I think we should be glad this is only the start. Episode 2? Bring it on.
