8 of 15The game has a mechanic that makes it difficult to play, and adds to this my making it disorienting.
After sufficient time playing, the version for iOS has very disappointing controls. I don’t understand how the apple device understand my gestures and responds precisely but app mad for the device does not. iCloud does not function across device. SUPPORT has not lived up to its name… 1 star.

I’ll still give Metroid the top slot for this genre, but Dandara is super cool. Unique character movement, creative world building that doesn’t feel same-y, and serious difficulty that forces you to get better without causing you to throw your phone across the room.
Hi, I hope to like the game. I am using an iPad, and having a great deal of difficulty in the first few areas just opening the down passage doorways that have the down arrow icon. So much so that I don’t know if I will have the patience to continue. Is there something I am missing? Using the touchpad, and tapping dozens of times on the icon both as an arrow and as a door(i guess that’s what it is) just does not open the passageway. Very frustrating.
It took me about 9 hours to beat
Dandara is such a spectacular game. I was skeptical at first with the controls, but after I adjusted, I realized that this was a fantastic gem of a game. The graphics are gorgeous, the music is some of the best I’ve heard in a game and the gameplay is unlike any other. The boss fights are some of the coolest I have ever seen. Pick this one up. It works with a controller but also touch too.
I have an iPhone 11 and this game refuses to work. On a clean re-install it either never stops checking the cloud for saves when I try to start a new game or it freezes when transitioning after the first part of the game. Very disappointed a well-made game like this is so busted right now.
