Nominee- New York Videogame Critics Circle for Best Mobile Game
One of the Best Games of 2012: Action- TouchArcade
Pocket Tactics' 2012 Action Game of the Year!
5/5 TouchArcade!
"The tortured, veiny world the art conjures and the surreal music it uses to bolster its paranoid sci-fi vibe are both riveting aspects that suck you into a surreal universe and doesn't let go."
8/10 Edge Magazine!
"God Of Blades enhances its glorious alien bloodshed with lavish presentation that blends the pulp sensibilities of paperback fantasy novels with the bizarre visions found on prog rock album covers."
A love-song to pulp fantasy tales of yore, 70s synth-prog-landscape oddities, and forgotten places, God of Blades is a gorgeous, visceral sidescrolling physics-based sword-fighting adventure.

Praise for God of Blades:
“Cripes. So many reasons to like this. The pulpy sci fi narrative, the prog rock lettering and album art backdrops, the spectral swordsmen and the fearsome sense of connection. God of Blades is pretty much glorious, basically.” - Christian Donlan, Hookshot Inc.
“...we were reminded of Shadow of the Beast for some reason – probably because of the music and the setting... that’s a very good thing.”- Chris Priestman, IndieGameMag
“The White Whale Games crew has gone above and beyond demonstrating their devotion to stories and literature, and [Loreseeker] is one of the most creative and brilliant ways they could have possibly conceived to get people to go to those incredible repositories of human knowledge known as libraries.” - Brad Hilderbrand, Gamezebo
“God of Blades is dripping with style” - Jim Squires, Gamezebo

The game could have been a great one but the horrendous controls combines with three year old optimization turned it into a lousy and annoying thing. What a pity: it was running great on Galaxy S2, but this is where the development got stuck. On oneplus 3T running Andr. 7.0.1 the game is nearly unplayable.

Awesome game. I loved the graphics. The only thing I had a problem with is I wish there was a way to upgrade the characters strength, speed and be able to extend the life of the characters. Other than that good game.

Looks nice. The audio, which at first seems oversimple, actually proves great for establishing a rhythm. Now if only my phone's touch read were snappy and accurate enough to keep up, maybe an alternate button control setup?

Is an absolutely great game, could do with being a bit longer and having a wider variety of blades and not just being able to unlock the best one straight away.

Its just a shame how short it is. But its definitely one of the, if not the most original type of game I've played so far. Typical sidescroll, but mechanics of timing and a deep story that isn't entirely known makes it a must buy. Especially for .99 cents. Hopefully the devs carry this story to sequels, prequels or new titles.

App crashes from opening screen. Completely unplayable. A huge upset because I love everything pulp fantasy and I was really looking forward to this game. Playing on a Samsung galaxy alpha

I was hoping for more swords with more powers so this game wouldn't will slowly decay like the Sable king. It's an amazing game and the graphics and campaign are pretty superb. I just wish there was an update where we have new swords and we can choose what we want to fight in eternal such as bosses or yourself like how in the campaign you fought against yourself. Overall good game, just feels short.

A great and stylish runner action game. I just wish there was more to it or better yet, more games in a similar vein. Some issues that interrupt aiming for a highscore but I like the game enough to forgive it. Loreseeker function doesn't work for me which really sucks, I wish the devs would just unlock the additinal content.

The story line is very short and is easily completed with not much playing time. The graphics are good and the game is fun to play but I'd like to see more added to make it worth 5 stars, especially for a paid game. (eg. More swords/weapons and more levels in the campaign mode)

Lags a lot, enemies are much more fluent than you can be, and swipes dont respond often. One last note, loading screens are too long.

The game wasn't as deep as I would have liked, learning timing and spanning a single attack was significantly more important than strategy

I think the controls are a little clunky, when i swipe up to do upperswing, sometimes it will parry. I have the same problem swiping down. My idea would be to add a button control scheme sas a additional option for players to choose. Otherwise keep up the awesome work!
