    Spiral Episode 1 isn’t perfect with a few drawbacks from time to time, but taken as a whole it’s one iOS experience not to be missed.

    The game's narrative does a great job wrapping all of Spiral's components together in a story that's not only compelling but also just interesting. If any of this sounds remotely up your alley, you need to check out Spiral Episode 1.

    This is one of those games that make us wonder where's the line between console and mobile gaming. A great game whose first episode left us waiting for more.

    Despite some hiccups, Spiral Episode 1 will grant you a good time.

    Overall, the feeling Spiral gives is of a decent, if unremarkable game from a bygone era. Nothing we experienced is enough to recommend against it, though the starting price tag of $4.99 might be a little off-putting to some for a work of this quality. It doesn't really excel in any regard, but nor does it offend.

    Spiral Episode 1 is basically all looks and almost no substance: hopefully Pixel Hero Games is going to fix the many issues of the game in the next episodes, but this is definitely not a good start for the series.

With a combat system that has a surprising amount of depth and a narrative that is smoothly integrated throughout the game, Spiral Episode 1 is well worth the money. PS. Finally a control system in this type of game that suits a touch screen! Expand
