God of Blades
- New York Videogame Critics Circle for Best Mobile Game
One of the Best Games of 2012: Action
- TouchArcade
Pocket Tactics' 2012 Action Game of the Year!
5/5 TouchArcade!"The tortured, veiny world the art conjures and the surreal music it uses to bolster its paranoid sci-fi vibe are both riveting aspects that suck you into a surreal universe and doesn't let go."
8/10 Edge Magazine!"God Of Blades enhances its glorious alien bloodshed with lavish presentation that blends the pulp sensibilities of paperback fantasy novels with the bizarre visions found on prog rock album covers."
A love-song to pulp fantasy tales of yore, 70s synth-prog-landscape oddities, and forgotten places, God of Blades is a gorgeous, visceral sidescrolling physics-based sword-fighting adventure.
See the trailer at http://www.whitewhalegames.com--------------------------Praise for God of Blades:
“Cripes. So many reasons to like this. The pulpy sci fi narrative, the prog rock lettering and album art backdrops, the spectral swordsmen and the fearsome sense of connection. God of Blades is pretty much glorious, basically.”
- Christian Donlan, Hookshot Inc.
“...we were reminded of Shadow of the Beast for some reason – probably because of the music and the setting... that’s a very good thing.”
- Chris Priestman, IndieGameMag
“The White Whale Games crew has gone above and beyond demonstrating their devotion to stories and literature, and [Loreseeker] is one of the most creative and brilliant ways they could have possibly conceived to get people to go to those incredible repositories of human knowledge known as libraries.”
- Brad Hilderbrand, Gamezebo
“God of Blades is dripping with style”
- Jim Squires, Gamezebo

That's a pretty high-quality Android game, nice premise, good graphics, intuitive gesture controls - it's all there. I'm sorry for the people experiencing corruption and glitches, but for me it runs perfectly on Galaxy S3, Note 2 and Asus Infinity tablet.
I think the controls are a little clunky, when i swipe up to do upperswing, sometimes it will parry. I have the same problem swiping down. My idea would be to add a button control scheme sas a additional option for players to choose. Otherwise keep up the awesome work!
Dec 30, 2013: First, the graphics are just wow. Second, a nameless king sword fights enemies of darkness with swords that have a unique ability from when they were forged. Finally, I finally see how outstandingly awesome this game really is. If a sequel is released, I will have no other option but to support the developers.
This game is a gem of a find. The gameplay is somewhat repetitive but enjoyable. The story is an enjoyable mixture of sci-fi and fantasy. I also like the 80'ish music. Unfortunately I encountered a bug. The Loreseeker function which requires you to be at a library to unlock bonus content did not work for me at my local library even when I used their WiFi.
At .99 cents this is a steal to test the awesomeness of the display of my first-gen Asus Nexus 7. To note the N7 has absolutely no trouble playing this beautifully crafted left to right action-hack-and-slasher. If any notes or suggestions on updates for this, it would be a menu option for a tutorial for the play instructions to be added besides the quick one at the beginning of each mode. I had to have my brother who is a gamer douche play it to figure it out so could learn it and get my .99 worth. Is there even another game on g-play that comes close to this one in aesthetic pleasantness? I can't find any, so far...
The game could have been a great one but the horrendous controls combines with three year old optimization turned it into a lousy and annoying thing. What a pity: it was running great on Galaxy S2, but this is where the development got stuck. On oneplus 3T running Andr. 7.0.1 the game is nearly unplayable.
Thanks for the patch notes :) im still getting a blurred background in the 3rd (unlockable) Eternal level, i have enabled high graphics and it is still blurred. I have a HTC one. Other than that it is a great game.
It's a work of art , something very hard to deliver with small budgets . I have played for about 18 years most of my life , and I really appreciate when someone takes a risk and try to do something a little different , excellent on Samsung s3 .
Awesome game. I loved the graphics. The only thing I had a problem with is I wish there was a way to upgrade the characters strength, speed and be able to extend the life of the characters. Other than that good game.
And it looks and runs so good on my new samsung A6 Tablet 8 cores 1.6ghz 2gb ram and a 10.1 LCD Screen
OMG the best game I have ever played in along time 🎮🎮and the music in it is amazing good job developer on this game it's a master piece!
I could give this a five star rating for the design, fluf and music alone. But the combat is adicting and fun too!
I love the graphics and the entire concept. It's fun and not too much that you get bored just reading the instructions and you finally just wing it. Love love worth the $$
Will not let me select levels on 2013 Nexus 7,and the in game back arrow works just about as poorly.
when loading the next level on Android 6. A fun and beautiful game otherwise, a bit short.
Cant start it without it crashing. If this is fixed tis possibld its good but i dunno yet :/
It should be marked as incompatible. Waste of money and time
Lags a lot, enemies are much more fluent than you can be, and swipes dont respond often. One last note, loading screens are too long.
Game is good but unable to open the library. so we are unable to use all contents.
Beautiful visuals with consistent style, intuitive game play, and well matched audio. This is a work of pure pulp Art. Love it!
When I load the game it don't load up. I will give five stars if fixed. Until then great idea.
As above. It grows in you. Just amazing graphics game play and story line. 11 out of10.
- Stylish graphical style, atmospheric music, simple but well told fantastical story, satisfying battle mechanics, not very long, but good replay fun in Eternal Mode. Top Score currently 2,399,050. Beat that.
I was hoping for more swords with more powers so this game wouldn't will slowly decay like the Sable king. It's an amazing game and the graphics and campaign are pretty superb. I just wish there was an update where we have new swords and we can choose what we want to fight in eternal such as bosses or yourself like how in the campaign you fought against yourself. Overall good game, just feels short.
