Horn

Horn brings a rich fantasy world to life, combining elements of classic and modern adventure titles to create something all its own; an incredibly engaging title and a definite must have.

I don't want to sound too overdramatic, but if I were looking to sum up Horn in two words, it would probably sound something like 'mobile masterpiece.'

Horn is an enormous, beautiful, carefully-constructed game that shows off what iOS devices can do.

One of the best games available on iOS, and almost on any other portable device. It vanishes the line between portable devices and portable video game systems. A beautiful and entertaining story and a rich gaming offer, together with its stunning graphics, make Horn worth it of any iDevice.

Horn is an awesome action adventure game, a truly masterpiece with a compelling story, a solid gameplay and some very nice inspirations.

An immensely enjoyable action RPG.

Horn is a well-crafted game that has been well thought out. The story is creative and lovingly presented, and works with the thematic concepts perfectly. Aside from very few control issues, this is definitely a great game that shouldn't go unnoticed.

Horn is the real deal. It looks, sounds and plays great. The adventure may a little too linear and repetitive, but it's still a blast exploring this gorgeous and riveting world. The exploration, puzzle-solving and combat combine to create an enthralling adventure.

There's so much more game to it. [Dec 2012, p.93]

Another iOS game making use of the Unreal Engine and offering a gripping and magical experience.

Horn is a complete and technically excellent action-adventure game. It will satisfy those looking for a "console style" title in portable devices.

Horn is a very ambitious iOS-game that sucks you into its fantasy world with great visuals and music. Once you've arrived fun and frustration tend to take each other's place a little too often, forcing you to return to reality. It's a shame, because it's an infinitely interesting world that continues to intrigue and a little refinement in the gameplay promises a great future for the iOS-platform.

Despite it's flaws, Horn is a glorious success. It sets the bar high for what we should expect from iOS, and it really shows us what kind of adventures we are capable of having on the device.

An ambitious Zelda-inspired adventure offering plenty to get your teeth into. Horn shoots for the stars and, barring a few technical issues, lands admirably close.

It looks great, it plays surprisingly well, but there is still quite some distance to the likes of Infinity Blade 2, which simply offers more of everything.

The first fruit of Zynga's "new model of partnership" really shows what modern mobile devices are capable of, but as far as the gameplay goes, the world of Horn is empty and lacks fresh ideas.

After all the good Phosphor did with Dark Meadow, it's sad that Horn will likely be used by detractors as proof that mobile gaming just doesn't work. It does. It's just that Phosphor went too far trying to prove it this time, and Horn is a worse game because of it.
