Pros and cons of NyxQuest app for iPhone and iPad

NyxQuest app good for

ce jeu est vraiment beau et original on ne sen lasse pas !!!!!! Merci Chillingo !
Atmosphäre: Top! Grafik: Sehr Gut Gameplay: Gut Story: TOP!!! Schwierigkeit: Optimal
Tight controls, cool story, and gorgeous graphics. Well worth the dollar. Only complaint is that touch items on the edge of the screen can be tricky to manipulate as they can easily end up behind HUD elements and confused for movement commands.
A very impressive port of the Wiiware version. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone.
A very good platforming game. Very original yet quite simple and intuitive.
These days its hard to find a game is fun AND the main character is a girl... I hate being guys

Some bad moments

After having played SWORDIGO I saw a post on a forum about this game saying it was a little alike. NOT. Its boring, controls are irresponsive.... Im forcing myself to play the game because I bought it.
Love the game & how it incorporated Greek mythology into it. Hope sequel comes out soon.
Absolutely the best adventure game Ive ever played on the iPhone. The sounds, graphics and obstacles are nothing short off amazing. The use of space is also amazing. The objects are beautifully placed in the foreground and background. I hope there is more coming in the near future. 5star app!!
Just the same running game like all the rest. Exept with good graphics. Its hard to get into.
This is really fun and has some innovative gameplay elements that keep it fresh. Well worth a download.
I knee this was a short game so I waited till it was free got lucky good thing cuz my only 2 problems with this game are one how long it takes to beat the game if ur good at it then u can blow through the 12 levels in a day or a few hours if u want to in one sitting. And my second quibble with the game thats major is the file size 138mb or something in that area. Its massive for such a short game. Then my final con is that The controls sometimes stick or dont respond resulting in multiple touches to get the desired effects sometimes for example I would have to tap an object 2 or more times especially enemies when u start unlocking powers they all take several tries to finally work and then it takes several tries to get any of them to work so the controls could use some tweaking and optimizing. Also this was only a problem for me on the last level but when u have to Jump from breakable block to breakable block and u have the daughter of Zeus power not going to spoil its thing. But the move and jump controls were lined up perfectly with the destructable blocks so I would try to walk or jump and end up destroying a vital part of the ground beneath me. And this is at a time when ur frantically tapping away at enemies and fireballs from the sun. Other then that the final last con about this game that I had was that the cutscene subtitles go away to fast. It should be changed to tap to continue next line of dialogue and add a skip button so tapping anywhere doesnt skip the hole sequence. I ended up missing allot of the dialogue and having to replay it plus its written in a strange font and small on iPod touch so a bit hard to read and goes too fast minor complaint tho still. This is overall a great game dont let these cons stop u from playing it cuz its not a bad game and it may sound like theres allot of cons here but this is just to the dev so they can improve the game not reasons to not get it cuz this is a triple a title and I feel bad for the reviewer who left 1star and thought it was just another runner game when its not that at all this is like a Mario game almost if Mario were in Greek mythology times and had a quintuple jump and glide ability with wings. Its also like a Zelda game it has more of that feel but its a 2.5d side scroller thats beautiful graphics when the brightness is turned up on ur device on low settings it maybe hard to see but when its bright everything looks great. But the adventure and puzzles feel like a side scrolling Zelda feel not copy and also has the feel of metroid since as u go u aquire all these new abilities such as controlling wind and fire lightning it makes u feel pretty powerful and this game was a joy to play yeah it starts out a bit slow and is over all too soon but it has a good story beyond the reason ur on the quest is to find Icarus ur love whos wings melted and he fell from the sky and u play as nyx hence the name to find ur lost love. But thats not the story Im talking about the dialogue that goes on with nyx and the gods and statues u meet along the way the things they have to say are very interesting and give a nice perspective on the Greek mythology world and have some philosophical meanings and undertones thats very entertaining plus u never know whats going to be around the next corner or what new ability and enemies or obstacles u will encounter next. It has just enough challenge and everything is presented as easy enough to complete within enough time and remains fun and engaging the hole time without being frustrating. The game was designed extremely well and very cleverly. The production values are pretty high and set the bar for a new standard of adventure titles on the iOS. The replay value though is not that high as u can probably beat this game in one sitting of 4-6 hours if ur skilled and the only incentive to replay would be to collect all of the collectables that can be found on each level some are easy others may have u too frustrated to attempt to collect. So I just went on and continued my quest as I dont think they change anything other then making it the equivalent of getting 3stars on every level of most puzzlers. Bottom line over all the pros outweigh the cons and this is a great adventure game not just an endless runner every level is different looking and has another feel to it as u travel through ancient Greek and encounter all the gods from the mythology and it makes for a fun theme. The gameplay is solid it may start out slow but just stick with it and it will addict u especially when u start acquiring abilities. The only con about the abilities is that it seems like u go through half the game with none or one ability and then in the last half u quickly gain every ability gets handed to u pretty quickly compared to the pace of the 1st power. I think more people would have stayed longer had they gotten some abilities a bit faster as for half the game I didnt expect to gain anymore then the one I had and was pleasantly surprised when I came across more n by the end I felt pretty powerful and could quickly kill enemies that had been a pest to me for the majority of my quest. Verdict: pass! :) 5stars So I can RECOMEND this to allot of people those who are into ancient Greece will be very intrigued. If u like Zelda but in a 2d format if u like platformers I typically dont but the 5jump wing flap and glide made it better for me and the addition of abilities made it cool to. If u like metroid this is kind of like it not the free roam part but the part how u gain abilities as u progress. Any one who like adventure games will enjoy this. Its not the fastest paced game but its still pretty good. I give it an A I would give it an A plus if the minor cons that I mention above mainly the unresponsive controls but it was only a minor nuisance that and the text goes too fast and a bit hard to read thankfully this isnt how all the dialogue is formatted only the cinematic parts which are only a few. Worth $1
