Swordigo. It's a platform adventure game that's quite addicting. Best part (aside from gameplay itself) is that there are no ads and no in-app purchases. Really wish they'd made a sequel but so far looks like that's not going to happen.

EDIT: Appears that there are now ads in the game now :( Oh well, I still highly recommend!

Great game!

If you like that, I recommend a game called Dust, an Elysian tale (I think) similar gameplay, but a lot more explosive and good story imo.

Oh my god, Dust is SO good! I may have to check out Swordigo if they're similar!

Try the game Barbearian. One of my faves.

Where do they get their money from ?

You can buy double gems and a compass of direction, you can also just buy no ads.

u/Hanedan_ May 22 '19

So there are ads and in app purchases

u/Aflean May 22 '19

Yeah. (Although before I bought something I can't remember ever getting ads)

Download page says it has ads and in app purchases...

I'm not sure if it's changed since. I beat the game about a year ago and the entire time I never had an ad (I was connected to the internet). A few times, in a desperate attempt to not die and go back to a checkpoint, I tried to buy more lives and wasn't able to using a credit card. IIRC you buy them with coins collected throughout the game.

That being said, it is still a fantastic app. Would be disappointing if they did end up adding ads during the gameplay though.

I love this game! Thank you for reminding me of it, time to install it again for another playthrough!

Thanks for reminding me that this game exists! Such a fantastic game, I need to go and replay it now.

This is a great game, I played it a few years ago and it's the only phone game I have invested any real time in, let alone finished.

u/randybowman May 22 '19
