Solid game. Probably one of the better games on iOS. Top ten in my book for mobile games. Doesn't have that mobile game feeling. Great soundtrack and sounds. Great storyline. Very good graphics and effects. However it was far too easy in my opinion when it came to the bosses, coming from years of gaming (grown up playing nes, super nes, pc, etc) but for someone newer to gaming might find it hard. They could of added more fighting than platforming. I am also a snob when it comes to gaming, and realize that not everyone that is gonna play this will have a controller. Other than that its a really well done game that the developers should be proud of. Look forward to more games by the developers.

I’ve been a huge fan of the Metroidvania genre and this game really surprises me with the high quality. This console-quality game just check all the boxes a good Metroidvania game should have:* Great storyline and settings* Well-crafted maps and level design* Smooth actions and controls* Huge variety of skills/moves to unlock* Lots of collectiblesOther than the points mentioned above, it also features a quest system that you can get quests from NPCs or during explorations, and these quests are not just beat these monsters or collect these items. These quests are actually supported by stories and help you progress the game or understand more about the settings. I would highly recommend this game to any Metrovania lovers and would highly recommend to play it with a physical controller as it might become challenging in later stages of the game when you need precise inputs at a really fast pace.

I am not compelled to complete Haak. The game does not rely on the grappling hook concept as much as one might expect. It is a basic game in the Metroidvania genre (Metroidvania games have a maze-like design) with some interesting story/design choices that resemble current times rather than the past or future. This makes the game somewhat interesting. Technically, Haak does take place in the future from 2025 when this review was written.The problem is that the controls do not live up to the interesting elements of Haak. I must have gotten 7-10 hours through the game before deleting it do to boredom. Two-dimensional games with digital circle pads, regular circle pads, or control sticks feel like a waste of an opportunity every single time.

This is a very well made platformer and I recommend you buy it. It’s been a lot of fun so far and love has been put into itI’m having some trouble with the iPad controls however and this would be the first iOS game I’d consider a controller for. I’m able to adjust the controls which is amazing. But when I do one of the gameplay features gets lost: I’m no longer able to crouch and drop below platforms. Then I have to reset the controls to the default settings and I’m able to crouch and drop below the platforms. And then I have to change them back to how I prefer them. I’m hoping the developer sees this and can assist me and I’ll be happy to update my review because this is a really fun and unique game and there’s a lot here to love. Just having some technical difficulties.
