    Archangel brings some fresh ideas to the well-worn action-RPG genre, enabling it to mark out some territory all of its own while remaining good fun. Black Tower Studios should be commended for taking a risk and trying something new.

    Archangel is slow to get started, but after gaining some abilities and spells the pace of combat picks up for a satisfying and long-lasting dungeon crawler.

    Unity Games' Archangel is great for those who love the grind of a great looking dungeon-crawler but feels as though it takes a while to truly get going.

    Archangel is a okay game for the mobile, but it’s too short, repetitive and will eventually be forgotten. A shame, because you can have a lot of fun with this RPG for two euro’s.

    While lacking the depth and visual diversity of its desktop counterparts, Archangel is a fun touch screen take on the action RPG.

    Archangel is a good Hack & Slash for mobile devices that maybe will not be a milestone in its genre but will offer hours of fun for those looking for some action on their mobile devices.

    Archangel is a well-crafted dungeon-crawler with a handful of nice touches, but it could use a little more spark and imagination in its world design and core gameplay.

    Archangel delivers a charming, visually stunning action RPG experience, but it fails to deliver due to an unfortunate mix of RTS controls and level design.

    It’s a decent title, but unfortunately, it never reaches the angelic heights of fun that were promised.

    There's no denying that Archangel is pretty, but in every other way it's a case of unfulfilled potential.

    Archangel takes several innovative steps towards making the dungeon-crawler viable for phones and tablets, including cloud saving for play on multiple devices, but ultimately it’s just a pale, pale shadow of what the likes of Diablo 3, Torchlight 2 and even the free-to-play Path Of Exile are capable of doing on the PC.

    There’s just too much silliness to suffer through to dig into the parts of Archangel that are good. This is one of a wave of titles showing how pretty mobile games can look on up-to-date hardware, but the beauty is definitely only skin deep. Gameplay matters, even on phones and tablets.

Maybe because it's from Unity and they're chummy with a lot of people in mobile gaming. Based on its own merits, this game is terrible. Even after you learn more skills it's still the same, boring and repetitive tripe. The characters are stiff, the combat uninspired, there's no sense of exploration or adventure and the so called "loot" system feels tacked on and cheap. All the skills are just learned from going to new levels so there's no sense whatsoever that you're actually building and improving your character. It was a struggle for me just to get far enough in that I felt comfortable posting a review on here. It shouldn't be necessary to force yourself to play a gene until it "picks up" anyway, not that this ever does. Just plain bad and a waste of money- deleted.… Full Review »
