For His Glory
Generally a good game with challenging gameplay, fun sword slashing mechanics, solid presentation, music, animation, lots of good stuff... BUT dodging via double-tap is the one thing keeping this game from a 5th star. It responds like 30% of the time. I see the attack coming, double-tap to dodge, the character does nothing, the attack hits. It's a game breaking deal, and it happens *so often.* Incredibly annoying. It would be better if the dodge input was replaced by a two-finger tap at least.

I recognize that you're doing something cool and new with the swipe controls and there aren't a lot of unused degrees of freedom left for an elegant dodge. However, the double tap only works maybe 20-30% of the time. Much more often, I recognize the attack pattern I've committed to memory, see the punch or kick or whatever coming a mile away, pound on the screen to try to tell this guy to move out of the way, and watch him get socked anyway. It's extremely frustrating and ruins the game.

Stormblades gives me nostalgia of the old Hack and Slash game from years ago called "Guts & Glory". The only difference of that game and this one is that, instead of standing in place, we're physically running through out the environment to the next boss! As a huge fan of Guts and Glory, I'm already in love and familiar with the controls of Stormblades right off the bat. The art for this game is very beautiful! There's been too much slop on the app store, and this game is a breath of fresh air!
