Gameplay
Although Dandara is new to Apple Arcade, it’s not new to the app store so you might’ve already played this before. However, we thought we’d give this version a go to see how good it is and we were pleasantly surprised!
Dandara: Trials of Fear+ is a 2D platform game where the aim is to discover the mysteries and secrets hidden within the world of Salt. You defy gravity and jump across the floors and ceilings, making it pretty unique to other platformers I’ve seen.
Graphics
I absolutely love any games with pixel-art graphics. They automatically give me a nostalgic feeling, even if the game isn’t old, and I feel like it works perfectly with this genre. Platform games don’t need fancy graphics in my opinion – pixel art works just fine!
Music & Sounds
The background music is very eerie and constantly makes you feel like something bad is going to happen. I think it fits in well with the gameplay and definitely adds an element of suspense to it.
Controls
The controls are a little difficult to get used to at first. As you can see in the gameplay video, it takes me a while to figure it out but once I do, the gameplay is amazing!
The Power of in-app Purchases
Dandara: Trials of Fear+ is a part of the Apple Arcade subscription ($4.99 a month) so there are no in-app purchases or ads.
However, you can purchase it for $3.99 as a one-off as well.
The Verdict
Although platformers aren’t my favorite, this was a lot of fun to play. It’s definitely worth the $3.99 or Apple Arcade subscription as there’s a lot of gameplay that’ll keep you hooked for hours!
If you decide to download Dandara: Trials of Fear+ let us know what you think and if you agree or disagree with any of the things we said. Happy gaming and stay casual!
