Critical reception

edit

The game has a Metacritic score of 85% based on 10 critics.[4]

TouchArcade said "The distinctive sights and sounds are worth the effort. "[5] AppSpy said "Like a fevered nightmare trip through the covers of 70s prog-rock bands and classic pulp-fiction, God of Blades is a beautifully presented and other-worldly experience, but is likewise just as short-lived as you expend its limited content and variety of combat. "[6] AppAdvice said "The thing that stands out the most about this game is the beautiful artwork. "[7] Edge Magazine wrote "As the studio name suggests, this is a game design team that's in love with books, and so it's amongst books that its first offering reveals its true potential. "[8] AppSmile said "Using light RPG elements and simple gestures to vanquish enemies one-by-one, God of Blades is a satisfying adventure. "[9] Modojo wrote "It's just a shame that, for all this graphical and aural stimulation, the fighting mechanics are so basic. "[10] Pocket Gamer wrote "A relentlessly stylish sensory assault that's so in tune with its underlying mechanics that it works, despite the game's obvious flaws."[11]
