The Deer God for Negative User Reviews
✓ A title reviewThis game is boring! It's expensive but it doesn't mean it's great. There are a lot of apps that are cheaper and better than this piece of cr@p. It would be great if this costs $1.99 or fewer. Unfortunately, i bought this for $6.99. The combat is also terrible. The description says "They made it better". Don't listen to that bullcr@p. I hope this comment is useful for you..Version: 1.2
✓ Saves still messing up!!I was extremely pleased with the terrain fix, so I updated, went to my save, was slightly annoyed that I started back at the beginning of the map, but was pleased when I still had all my skills.....I opened up some more skills and got my first relic, saved the game, quit, and went to check my save progress....and my save has disappeared!!!!! I now have to officially start again!!!!.Version: 1.1
✓ High price to be a beta tester for an iOS gameIf development continues this can be an excellent game. The pixelated yet very detailed graphics remind you of Sworcery, the musical score is up there with some of the greats (that's just my opinion) the controls however.... Eeek. The controls make me want to kill myself. I already paid and there's no refund so I've filed this one under download again in 6 months..Version: 1.2
✓ Great idea... Buggy.There are a bunch of in game bugs. Places you can spawn and not advance from. A bug that when you load all you see is sky and literally ruins a save. An area where you knock a tree down and after passing it, it erects itself and won't let you go back (which is necessary to do). Lots of little bugs that currently ruin the enjoyment for me. When fixed the game could be really fun and different from other games..Version: 1.0
✓ Expensive and ChallengingAuthentically reminiscent of Amiga-age classics like Shadow of the Beast. If that's your thing, then great. If not, you're more than likely gonna find this fugly, belligerent and frustrating. £5 seems a little steep to take a punt on a game many simply won't enjoy….Version: 1.0
✓ Very buggy & disappointing design/ bad story***the attack swipe action does not work!!!!***(playing , or attempting to on iPad) . Please fix this. so far I'm very unimpressed with the game design and storytelling too..Version: 1.0
✓ Love the idea, but buggyI think the idea is awesome. The first time I played there was a point my game got stuck and remained stuck after restarting. I started over, but I found the controls frustrating and after dying over and over for an hour, I gave up. Wish you weren't punished so much for dying, especially since controls can make it hard to beat certain obstacles..Version: 1.0
✓ The Deer godSecond time I went to use game there was no way to interact with it. Screen either white or very poor background and no characters. Rubbish on mini iPad! Need a refund!.Version: 1.0
✓ Not greatThe graphics are beautiful, but that's about the only good thing to be said for this game. The game play is monotonous and the controls, particularly with regard to the fight scenes are pretty dire. Pity, because it looks so good.....Version: 1.0
✓ Don't get itBought this game by mistake, and can't get a refund. I feel like with the amount of money I spend in the App Store every month I should be entitled to a refund when I accidentally buy a game. I gave this a try and I don't get it at all. It has a cool look but it's pretty boring. There just isn't enough meat to sink your teeth into.There are also a ton of bugs and glitches I encountered just in the short time I played it. Seemed more like a beta version then a game worthy of the seven bucks I spent on it by accident. Honestly this game is maybe worthy of 99 cents..Version: 1.0
✓ May need to give refundsI enjoyed the story but problem is that I don't understand what's with turning into something else when you die, controls are awful, and it eats battery power faster then the hotdog eating champion of the world. I'm sorry but I would really like a refund please..Version: 1.0
✓ Barely worksNice idea and style but full of bugs. Twice my save game has got stuck at a point where the player and environment is invisible, requiring me to start from the beginning. Avoid this game until the problems are fixed..Version: 1.0
✓ Great game that needs an updateThis is a good game that could be made better if it didn't contain so many bugs. I've been experiencing freezing when I play and I receive a phone call or I switch apps. It's frustrating to pay for a game, enjoy it, get half way through it and then to never be able to finish it..Version: 1.0
✓ Good game but glitchyI like the premise and visuals, really enjoyed what I got to play but glitches make it unplayable. Several times my screen has stayed blank apart from the sky background so I could not continue. Once I was on the final boss fight and this happened so I had to start from scratch. I only did this a few times after which I lost patience with it. Great potential but these flaws need to be sorted..Version: 1.1
✓ Nice idea, but terribly glitchyIt's beautiful and atmospheric, but the play-testing is embarrassingly inadequate. I'd love to give this game more stars, but in the first fifteen minutes of playing it, I've got stuck twice and been forced to restart. Given the price, this isn't acceptable. This is really a shoddy effort..Version: 1.0
✓ Good but full of bugsThe game is gorgeous and a lot of fun... except the bugs and quirks. The save mechanism and respawn is still a mystery... I was stuck underneath an alligator and couldn't move, so I went to the menu and when I returned all of the alligators were herons. Another time I respawned as a porcupine and was stuck in the water. There's just too many places where you can get stuck without understanding why..Version: 1.2
✓ Not worth the moneyPretty graphics... That's all. I wish I could get my £5 back..Version: 1.0
✓ EhReally wanted to like. Did not like. Choppy play on iPad mini 2 retina. Felt pointless after a few hours play..Version: 1.1
✓ Needs some tweakingReally like the look and idea, but the controls are spastic and hard to manage. Results in a lot of unintentional deaths and is frustrating. Will keep playing and look forward to an update..Version: 1.0
✓ Not Worth the High PriceLovely visuals, but the game is ill suited for touch screen controls. I also encountered several progress halting bugs, most of which involved becoming stuck in level geometry..Version: 1.2
✓ Love this ga...oh it's crashedContinue just leads sky and a setting sun/moon. Disappointing, got potential if it would just work.Version: 1.0
✓ GarbageThe attack controls are unresponsive and will get you killed within 5 minutes. The mixture of 3D animation and classic pixels is grating and gimmicky. An ideal version of this game would have automatic attacks that can be upgraded rather than controlled (with the jump/move controls where they are now) and no plot or dialogue, as well as automatic "eating" when energy is low. Don't waste your money!.Version: 1.2
✓ Lovely game, poorly realized.I wasn't familiar with The Deer God on other platforms, but I thought the premise was so intriguing that I gave it a shot. The visuals are very pretty, and the low-res aethetic is reminiscent of the Superbrothers game, which I enjoyed. I can't say that this has been a pleasant experience for me, however. In fact, I'm not sure where all these glowing reviews for it are coming from. I suppose it is different nowadays to experience a game that doesn't hold your hand through every challenge, but it's the gameplay that's supposed to be challenging, not the controls. It took me two deaths to stumble across the jump button, and all the while, struggling to discover what my character's purpose is. But despite its lofty opening cinematic of your player, a hunter, forced to live as a deer, don't look to this game for anything deeper than a standard platformer, and a platformer with awful controls and deeply frustrating gameplay. Like blind jumps? Well, you'll be doing a lot of that. And landing on spikes half the time, while a musical stinger plays, undercut with the grating noise of a ten-dollar alarm clock, just to hammer the point home. Enemies appear randomly, sometimes chipping away at your health while you're talking to characters. You'll die frequently, and when you do, get used to sitting through an interminably long fade to white, after which you may or may not come face-to-face with the titular Deer God, who will arbitrarily demote you to a smaller, even more defenseless mammal than a newborn fawn, OR ominously warn you that you have one life left, which would mean something, if the game didn't let you die dozens of times after that. I got stuck in the map once, starved to death while frozen outside a cabin, then respawned, still stuck, and by that point, I was used to such frustration from this game that I wasn't surprised and didn't care. This is a beta. I was duped into buying a game that was barely tested. It gets two stars instead of one because it's at least trying something different. I would have loved to play the game that is struggling to talk to me through the stammering and static of its own crappy control interface and contentious level design. I only hope that there will be updates coming soon, because trying to play it as is makes me want to skip my phone across a lake like a rock..Version: 1.0
✓ Good - still a bit buggyThe game is fun... My main problem with it is that I'm pretty bad at it. This isn't the creators fault... But there is a dearth of checkpoints in the game meaning that you have to spend a lot of time replaying fairly long and dull stretches. There is also a bug that stops the save game working. So if you don't complete it in one sitting you have to start again from scratch... Much like the lack of check points this makes it kinda dull..Version: 1.0
✓ Not that great...Wasn't expecting much, and for an indie game I guess it's good. But it's really not anything new. I'm sure there's a lot of effort put into it, but it doesn't show. The story is good, but the colours and scenes are so dull. Gameplay is repetitive too, I realise it's an endless runner..Version: 1.0
✓ Frustrating lack of control or consistencyNever know how or when I'll respawn, or what anything means, or how to save. The scenery is boring and repetitive..Version: 1.2
✓ Update now or pay us as beta testers...This game at it's core displays beauty, creativity, and a compelling gaming experience. However, it was released much too early with too many bugs at too high a price. The bugs: I've played up to 20% and about 20 days into the game three times now. Each time, it reaches a point where the screen goes white, and then only the background landscape and controls are available. It becomes a side-scrolling landscape adventure of nothingness. The song plays on, the sun and moon continue their dance, but the foreground-including even the boy-turned-deer character my attention wants to inhabit has disappeared. Is it a game about nihilism? The higher levels above 20% don't even exist? To remind people that their dreams are just as fleeting as their hours spent trying to become a deer God? Whatever the case, another bug is the momentum of the NPC animals, like the baby deer, makes it a pretty sad game when you watch your doe lovers and their babies die a red death on the spikes--simply because they couldn't slow down quickly enough. When you're trying to do running and timed jumps or attacks, the sudden complete stops to have a snack of berries often results in more death on the spikes. I do love the game. I just wanted to believe there was a 100% in there somewhere. Onward, and thanks in advance for the coming update!.Version: 1.0
✓ The controlsAlthough I like the gameplay, the controls, when you need them precise, sometimes stop responding. Like, you can drag left or right and your deer will just stand still and take extra hits from enemies, or I had one instance were he ran after a bush to eat by himself, without me actually making him get near the bush, and got killed by a snake. Or the swipe combat, being the only combat that works since the button is unresponsive, sometimes stops responding during combat. I want to like this game, but the controls being unresponsive make it it really hard to..Version: 1.2
✓ Falls so short of Superbrothers, S&S LPThe controls are very buggy, even when understood: I have swiped in a very controlled manner many times in a row - sometimes I dash, sometimes I jump, sometimes I stay still. I have no idea what most of the game features do. Reincarnating as a porcupine is a flat waste of time. How does a porcupine kill a deer (or why), anyways. I am very disappointed, after my 8bit expectations were set by Swords and Sworcery. Please fix this game and make it playable..Version: 1.0
✓ Leap of faith!!!?This game is just too frustrating! It has no camera control so you can pan out and see where you're going, demanding too many leaps of faith, usually into a pit of spikes! Shame as I love the art style.Version: 1.2
✓ I DEMAND A REFUNDI WANT A REFUND ALL IT DOES IS GLITCH AND SPAWN ME IN SPIKES AND I SPAWN WITH ONLY THE BACKGROUND I DEMAND A FULL REFUND!!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Fix this bugI am very disappointed because I paid $9 for this game and there's a bug. Whenever I go on the game it just shows the background and nothing else. I can move but I doesnt show the deer. Please fix this bug otherwise I'll delete this game and never buy of your company ever again..Version: 1.0
✓ Fix!Hello, I am having a problem with the game loading it keeps saying it is downloading but when I go to purchased it says I can open it but it won't work I am extremely annoyed with this as it costed nine dollars and I hope it is fixed in the future, thanks.Version: 1.0
✓ Good concept, terrible controlsI'm still not entirely sure I understand what this game is. On the surface it's an endless runner, but there seems to be some sort of progression system involved. You start each game as a fawn. Eating berries will slowly fill up a meter, and when the meter is full you grow into an adolescent deer. Eventually I'm sure you turn into an adult deer, but I can never make it that far because of the terribly executed controls. You encounter a large number of enemies along the way, which you can either run from or try and fight. Fighting is ultimately hopeless because the method of attacking (swiping out left or right from the middle of the screen) is almost impossible to execute. Most times an attack attempt results in the movement joystick jumping into the middle of the screen, resulting in my deer just aimlessly running around the enemy, quickly dying. There are situations where you are almost forced to dispatch an enemy, and most of these situations end in a quick death because the game makes it impossible to attack. Please fix these ridiculous controls by adding an attack button next to the jump button, and I'll revisit this review. I really want to like this game, but it's nothing more than an exercise in frustration in its current state..Version: 1.0
✓ Hoping for a updateThe game looks great but runs poorly on the iOS so far. The game hasn't been on the App Store for that long, so I'm hoping a update will come out that'll let me get past the intro....Version: 1.0
✓ StuckAfter a few hours playing the character and background disappear and the is no way to get them back after rebooting the game several times. Great I just can't play anymore . Such major bugs at a release is a shame..Version: 1.0
✓ Too glitchyThe game is beautiful but far to glitchy to be enjoyable. I got it on Apple TV first and it just would not play right. It's better on iPhone but still has major problems..Version: 1.2
✓ Not so greatThe game is good when it comes to game play and graphics but I have respawn issues. I was an all grown up deer fighting a giant snake boss but when it killed mevI would respawn in the dungeon as a baby and couldn’t get out....Version: 1.2
✓ Nice idea, poorly executedIt’s eh, alright. Good graphics, nice music. Not worth the price, though. I’m sure there was effort put into the game but it doesn’t really show. Sorta repetitive..Version: 1.2
✓ Too buggy to really enjoyFirst, let me say that this is a great, complex and entertaining game. The graphics are gorgeous, the gameplay is nice, it's also quite challenging and there's a ton of secrets to discover. However, version 1.0 is simply unplayable. As other reviewers mentioned, there's quite a lot of MAJOR bugs that makes it impossible to play the game and will ruin your save: respawning in impossible to get off from places, respawning as an enemy and being unable to move or jump (I respawned several times as a porcupine), respawning and there's nothing but the sky (no graphic or anything, just the sky background)... It's excessively annoying to have to start everything all over again all the time because the game is full of bugs... Honestly, I feel like this game has not been beta tested at all. ANY beta would have detected those bugs instantly, seeing has I got them all within an hour of regular gameplay on one of Apple's lastest device (iPhone 6 plus) If you want to buy this game, my advice is to wait for another version. This buggy version will only bring you frustation..Version: 1.0
✓ UnfairCould they update it so everybody who had worlds in normal mode deleted could get them back. I had one deleted and I even been to ursulas house and killed the skunks!.Version: 1.1
✓ The Deer God, issues.I just got Deer God for my iPad. Great gameplay and premise. Two major problems I have playing it. First is how close the view is on the player character, it's so close so you can't see what's ahead and plan for it. I would suggest having a zoom choice for the screen view on gameplay. Second problem is when you come to impassable map points (high cliffs), you can't cross them without items or abilities and I'm coming to them before I can get those things. Even in normal mode. Another problem for Apple players is there is no save game function for in game play you have to reincarnate overtime you die. Fix these points and it's golden..Version: 1.1
✓ The controls are absurdThis game is gorgeous, simple, and unique. I love the idea, and I'm trying really hard to love the game itself but it's really difficult to. The controls are super wonky - jumping is fine, moving around is decent, but I have no idea how to properly attack. Thus, I keep getting killed very early on in the game. I can't make it past the ghosts/ghouls or the alligators simply because I can't fight properly. Please fix the problem because otherwise I've wasted like $6 on an app that is useless..Version: 1.0
✓ Buyer's remorseI've had this in my wish list for awhile, because it looked great in the screenshots but has a way above average price. Finally decided to give it a shot. Boy is this game dull. Lacks any real depth, super repetitive, very little to do, pointless boring combat...I wish I could get a refund. Save your money..Version: 1.2
✓ Please FixThe game is great so far, and quite beautiful. The only things I have problems with are the controls are off and broken along with the barriers that don't allow me to continue playing through the game. I would hope to actually beat the game some day, so if you could fix the bugs, the game would easily be one of my favorites..Version: 1.2
✓ Fricken impossibleThis game I can't even get past the monkeys its IMPOSSIBLE.Version: 1.0
✓ Beautiful and brokenHappy to pay for a beautiful and well crafted game. Unfortunately it is so buggy at the moment it's more goat simulator than deer God. Getting stuck in vegetation or being unable to continue due to bugs is unfortunately common. Please fix guys!.Version: 1.0
✓ Interesting game with bugsThe game is an interesting blend of genres. It reminds me of playing Echo the Dolphin on the Sega Genesis. There is a bug when playing with MFI controllers. When I die as a deer and re-spawn as porcupine, the controller stops responding. Please fix this bug as it makes the game unplayable when this occurs..Version: 1.0
✓ Not worth the moneyThe graphics and idea of the deer God are great. The controls and gameplay are bad and frustrating. Even for the current discount price it's not worth it. It's a $1.99 game at best..Version: 1.0
