Was skeptical at first because the games that are put out today are not fun with a plot and a lot of them do not have manageable controls. Dandara was beyond my expectations for a mobile game! Great story and plot (which it has an extra end plot) and the controls where easy to learn and use. The graphics of the game was good and the game itself was challenging enough to keep it interesting. Definitely was fun to play!

This may be the best premium mobile game I've ever played. The unique control scheme takes time and practice to adjust to but works surprisingly well for a mobile device and the environment/combat is made for it, there's tons of exploration to be done with your abilities, the soundtrack is eerie and atmospheric, and the pixel art is simple and charming. If anything, I just wish the fast travel menu would highlight the specific areas on the map first, as the names alone can be tough to remember.

Wonderful game. Great design, style, graphics, and music. Minimal but fairly intriguing story. Almost finished it for the first time, and I love it. Touch controls are fantastic for mobile, though very, very occasionally I'm unable to use additional weapons for no reason. This game feels a little like a simplified, mobile-first Dead Cells with its own spin on mechanics. Absolutely worth the price (and an absolute must if you catch it on a discount).
