I only see the starting screen, then it's all black and it crashes after a few seconds

________________________________________________

Disappointing. I don't generally mind paying for games that I think I'll enjoy, but I devs need to be upfront about this. The gameplay is solid, but this game is a demo. *Spoilers* After the first boss fight, you unlock another island which can't be accessed unless you pay $6.99 or watch 20+ ads (with ads for every dungeon run). Up until this point, there is no indication that this is a limitation. Dev, be transparent and upfront that this is a demo and additional content must be purchased.

Just awesome. Controls are easy (the Archero type of combat) and it's easy to pick up. The skill system is a little too simplistic for my taste but that's the only issue there really is. Also be aware that this game is not 100% free. After the first Island you can continue playing and upgrading your stuff (every building only has one upgrade) or you can buy the full game for a couple of bucks and explore more story and islands. The way they put the purchase in there is just awesome. Worth it!

________________________________________________

More mobile games should be like this, giving you a non-interrupted game, then letting you decide to pay for the full or watch endless ads. At least this way you get a sample before being blasted with ads. You're allowed to play the game as it should be, then you can either pay and keep playing, or watch a bunch of ads (like any other mobile) and keep playing. The difference is that The Way Home gives you a genuinely fun game that makes you think: am I going to pay, or am I watching these ads?

I initially had trouble starting the game, but the developer really made a (BIG) effort to ensure i can run the game smoothly. Now i can't stop playing! It really does worth the time and efforts, the game play is really nice. I'm going to the 2nd island soon and of course will happily pay the full price. Thanks Concode! Hope you brings a lot of new features soon too.

Played for a few hours. Gameplay is similar to Archero, level up and skills also take inspiration from that game. This one seems to have a story however so I'm curious to see where that leads. Gameplay mechanics are easy to understand, although artifacts are not explained well, which is surprising considering the amount of dialogue in the game explaining things.

Really enjoy playing this game. Some requests / suggestions from me. Could you make it easier to gather runes? I've completed all the masteries and buildings so really the only thing left at this point to make me stronger are the runes. However, it seems to get them you have to defeat the bosses over and over and even then there is no guarantee to get them which means grinding for a loooong time. Maybe guarantee it and add combining them to make them stronger in case you get the same one.

1. Great pixel art. Nothing to add more. 2. In Lucy's house, you can practice via arcade. 3. The password to growth. Solving method is clever. 4. Game gets more and more harder and frustrating the more you continue on. Nice. 5. The level up and equipment are very great, making them great for harder enemies. 6. LORE. 7. Cheese is cute (addition to 1.). 8. Is there island expansion? I think there is. 9. With items, there are -item drop bonuses -magic 10. much, much much more. Overall, great game!!
noname898186, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

I like the story, I love the art style and the premise, great when you're bored. The only thing that I don't really get is why can't you save other stuff except for ores, like bows and armour after you return to the main island. I know that it would be too easy if you could safe all of them but at least it would be nice to get to save maybe 3 items or something like that(I'm not sure if this is already in the game). Overall a great game.

________________________________________________

It's kinda like forager but roguelite. I like the game, easy to get into. But I have 3 complaints with the game. No auto farm, I have to click each time and it's really annoying. Stopped to attack, I think it can became fast paced if you remove it. Lastly no edit for camp, please add that feature. It's so bad when a game makes you demolish the buildings, rather than customize it...
noname396363, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

I only played it a bit, but I think it is exceptionally well done. I'm surprised by some reviews that say it's difficult to control - it uses your standard 'floating thumbstick' controls which are quite well implemented... so the controls are as good as you'll find in a game like this. That said, I don't think I like the genre - dungeon crawling to collect resources to craft isn't really my thing. Too bad because I had hopes for it to be more Zelda-like, but it's a good game
noname333994, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Really well worth playing. Fun! Played it through on normal and hard mode. Support the devs and pay the $7 y'all! Things to improve: more trade skills; the basic combat skills are better than the upgrades; more artifacts that you will possibly ever see in multiple playthroughs; no reward for beating on Hard; need a little more reward per dungeon to get a sense of progression; bigger map with more to visit. Looking forward to a sequel!

________________________________________________

I am so glad I found this game. I usually don't like roguelikes, but this takes the cake. Didn't realize it was a trial until I read some reviews, but I love the option to be able to watch ads instead of paying. There's no weird gacha systems, or complex leveling. Just simple, dungeon crawling fun. And it's an offline game too! Awesome game, something that I aspire to make when I grow older.
noname110385, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

A unique gameplay concept that only requires 1 finger, yet provides so much depth! Yes, it's basically a demo for the first island. Afterwards you have to either pay to unlock the rest of the game, or watch about 20 ads to unlock the next island (and more ads for the rest of the islands). It's not a big deal though. It really isn't. No one is holding you at gunpoint and telling you to vicariously watch through one and every ad. In fact, I already watched over 35 ads while doing work. People have to feed their cats and I respect that.
noname924502, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

got the doggie! great way to ask for a review. could you add cosmetics, where the items you equip show on the cat. with a setting to turn it on or off. also can you add joystick settings, like that you can move cheese without the fixed joystick. Also could you add where you pick up either the skill point or health potion, what it does, and accept or reject button to take it, as I've taken either or by accident before. could you make difficulty settings?
noname994949, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

This game is the most perfect roguelike adventure pixel game I've ever played. There's a story, action, building, just everything you need to make a great working game. I love the mechanics and controls, as well as the mining and all of the armor items. Big props to creators, it's a dope game
noname354059, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Literally the best mobile pixel roguelike dungeoning game. Enemy diversity, sense of emprovement and boss fights are really satisfying. But.. really? Old man needs money because his wife is hungry? Seriously this was the worst ad dialogue ever. Couldn't you make a way to watch some kind of advertisement and win a prize with the code you wrote to collect leaves?
noname211828, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

A simple game, you run around, stand still to auto shoot enemies. You can harvest resources to buy base upgrades to improve your character. Pretty fun. The ad request is also reasonable to unlock more content within the game. However, during a thunder storm, the screen flashes from time to time, and it hurts my eyes a bit. There currently isn't a way to disable this.
noname109477, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

This is an incredibly thought out game. I've always loved the auto shooter genre, but combining it with a story gives it much more depth. The game designer was not pushy at all in ad content nor review request; ads are an optional route if you'd like the full game, and a review was not requested till halfway through the game. The graphics are cute and and controls feel natural. I think the only downside is running out of game content! All in all a great game.
noname967296, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Great game, really enjoyed my play through. Shame about the pay wall, I don't mind buying a game here and there but 5.99 is a bit much... Or watch 40 ads? I thought 20 was extreme but when I found it only bought half the bridge?! It's a bit cynical for me. Really good game though
noname658373, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Pretty fun yet rough around the edges. Game needs a zoom in/out feature so you can see the monsters on screen before agro. I can shot and target off screen and be tarveted offscreen by mobs I cant see. Would also be nice of there was a use for old / useless gear to salvage for materials or sell for currency allowing purchases of some kind starter gear / perks before starting a new run.
noname230611, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

So far, it's a very fun game, and one of the more fleshed out Rouge like games on Mobile.but I have a few gripes. 1. I do wish the game had a Dodge roll/ dash mechanics to make fighting enemies with projectiles and Bosses easier, 2. The equipment you get doesn't stay with you. Other than that, it's a good game with really good pixel graphics. ???? also being playable Offline Is a great bonus to.
noname670940, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

I was thoroughly enjoying this game up until I paid $6.99 (where's the 30% off) and moved to the new/second island. After speaking to a new npc I ventured into a new randomly generated area expecting to find new ores past Ruby, newer equipment, skills, even the enemies are just re-skinned versions of the earlier enemies. Major Disappointment...
noname859444, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

I had fun playing the intro, but every time i try to play the 1st island the screen goes black and i can't do anything! I can still hear the theme music u0026 if i tap the screen i can hear my character walk around, but i can't actually SEE anything! It's very frustrating, please fix this soon :(
noname350805, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

So. This game? Actually really fun! Dove in for a few hours before unlocking the next stage, and while the devs definitely want you to pay, they give you the option not to in probably the funniest way they could've. And it's juuust annoying enough for me to consider... Also, I was actually gonna talk abt the dog so getting the prompt to review so soon was actually hilarious. Anyways great game!!! My only real gripe is how lame the music is, sorry. It doesn't even loop properly ????
noname410214, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

The only issue I have is the dev does need to point out that it's a demo at least somewhere but other than that if the rest of the game is like the first island its definitely worth the 7 dollars for the full game I actually just watched the ads for the 400 leaves you need which was a total pain but if I decided to continue through the second Island I'll probably buy it when I get paid since I'm broke rn
noname729329, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

10 hours, 10 deaths, finally saved my friend from the island! Great game and a classic adventure. Deeply appreciate the option to watch ads to unlock full game! The ads in-between levels don't always play and if they do its less than 5 seconds. Can't wait to see Kevin again!
noname591891, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Not a bad game. Charge up front a fair price for the game. I do like that you offer an ad based option. But come on the number of ads you gotta watch is ridiculous. What is with you Devs do you guys actually want people to play your game? Guess not Uninstall.
noname599009, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Cute story and nice way to ask for money, really liked it. And the game.. itself Is small starts of easy peasy to grind few hrs for resources and then thats it. Didn't really get how defense points works. Mostly took same damage on 100 to 800 defense. Please add variety of different types of wearables, they lacks flavor, it needs diablo type invt. and maybe adding that you can bring back (one at a time). Liked it ...if you want a silly little and enjoyable rogue style game to play this is it.
noname76364, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

You only get to play the very first area for free and then have to pay 7 dollars to access the rest of the game. It doesn't even hint at this fact until you put the time in to completely beat the first area. Either make it a paid game or make it free.
noname181100, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

I love this game it's so fun and cute. I appreciate the devs letting you access other parts of the game through ads, instead of locking content behind a paywall. though rest assured when I get paid I'll be buying that pass to no ads just to support the developer and his hungry wife and kids lol
noname704649, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Dude I don't usually rate games but like this game is awesome. This is one of the best games I have played in my life so far. The developer of this game has done an awesome job making this. I really want another game like this but with more action, cooler music and maybe make it based on people rather than an animal. I would love to play that game
noname147950, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Game isn't terrible but the idea behind unlocking a new island was just ridiculous. Pay $7 or watch 40 ads?! 40! Plus an ad for every dungeon play! Just the ad for every dungeon should have been more than enough but to tack on another 40 ads that you have to watch in a row, not okay. Game had potential but I'm not watching a total of 160 ads just to unlock all the islands. Poor choice Dev.
noname923129, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

This app is a bait and switch. You play the app for about an hour and start enjoying the game. After the first island, an NPC tells you that you have to fork over 7$ or watch 15 or so ads in a row to progress to the next island. This is what I would call a bait and switch. There should have been warnings about this from the beginning. Additionally if you don't pay, every time you clear a dungeon you get to see an ad. No thank you.
noname808984, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Started well, than become a ad farm in some minutes.... just asks you to watch 20 ads in a row to unlock a island and you realise he lies and its actually 40 ads.... i dont even want to see what it unlocks anymore and by others comments its just a recolorized version of same content. REALLY BAD CHOICE TO TRICK YOUR PLAYERS. Will never download a game from the same company again.
noname731682, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

the game itself is good, but what I especially like about it is the ads, the game gives you the choice to either pay to unlock the full game or watch a ton of ads, and the ads while playing are very unobtrusive. 10/10 would recommend.
noname927296, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Fun little game. Plenty to do in the first section while it's completely free. I played probably 4 hours on the first island and then it offers 3 more for $7 or a quick chunk of ads. I'm really enjoying the game, and I really like that I can play the whole game for free without much disruption to my game play.
noname486871, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Good game overall. Unfortunately to get to the 2nd chapter you need to pay 9$ or watch ads. If the ads don't load you can't progress. For that reason it's getting a 2. If it weren't as good it would get a 1.
noname450671, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Great game and I love that even if there is paid content, you can still get it for free by watching a few ads. Really generous and I wish more games did that. The gameplay itself is really fun and even addicting at times
noname39310, the 17/02/2022

________________________________________________

Good, then you beat first boss and get option for next island to pay $6.99 for full game or watch around 18 ads to get the next piece to move to next island and it says there will be an ad every time you enter a dungeon after that. Good game but not going to watch that many ads.
