controls

The controls for the game are all using very simple touch screen controls such as tap, swipe and circle. This is easy for any play to pick up and allows the player to pick up and play the game where ever they are. The attacks and movement these controls represent are used to immerse the player more into the game as these will easy become instant reacts to the player.

The player does a simple attack to the enemy’s by swiping across the screen in the direction of the enemy. This takes off a portion of the enemy’s health. The larger the enemy and the more attack it will take to defeat the enemy.

When the health of an enemy has decreased to a certain point the player has the choice to turn them into minion of Erebus. This is however a little more time consuming but as a reward offer the player more XP, if the player is surrounded by enemies they may need to use other tactics as not to die. To turn someone the player taps on the enemy when there health is low enough.

Each costume that the player unlocks has a unique special ability for example if the player unlocks the cowboy costume they will have the ability to use Nyx’s intestine as a lasso to pull the enemy closer. This allows for a little more variety in gameplay while still keeping the simple mechanic of circling around the enemy.

To move the character the player drags their finger in the direction they would like to move across the rear touch pad. Having all of the movement on the rear touch pad and the combat on the front touch screen helps separate the two control types making it easier for the player.

The player may also jump by tapping the rear touch pad on the console.
