  • Summary: Welcome to Shibuya, a mishmash of attitudes and styles in the heart of Tokyo. A boy named Neku awakens in a crowded intersection, alone & unaware of how he got there. He receives a weird text: "Clear this mission...or face erasure." With that, Neku is injected into a life-or-death Game that sends him scrambling down streets paved with one riddle after another...What is the Reaper’s Game? Why is Neku a Player, and what is he playing for? Will the Game really end if he survives all 7 days? Another mystery is always around the corner. Expand

    TWEWY: Solo Remix feels at home on the iOS platform, retaining the revolutionary combat system of the DS original and pairing it with visuals that are on par with modern 2D console titles.

    Yes, the price tag is rather astronomical when compared to bargain-bin, $0.99 titles but there's a reason for that. The World Ends With You: Solo Remix is not a game built for five-minute diversions; it's a solid game, one meant to leave a permanent impression.

    The World Ends With You Solo Remix combines two wonderful qualities. Firstly, the original is a near-spotless success. Secondly, this is a quality port, one that has been reworked deeply to blend well with the devices it's on, even enhancing some aspects in the process.

  1. I haven't been this hooked to an RPG in... well, ever. I'm the type of guy who WANTS to play RPGs, but they simply don't hold my attention for long. In general I find RPG's too difficult to play casually because they require such a significant time commitment, and simply don't have enough depth to keep me interested. TWEWY is different. It has both dexterity & strategic skill based depth. Not only do you have to find skills that synergize well, but you also have to learn to play proficiently with them. This multifaceted skill requirement really puts this game in a league of it's own. To describe this game another way: It sort of plays like a fighting game, only imagine you were able to select a specific moves that your character could perform, and over time you gained access to different moves. On the pricetag: we have paid $60-$80 for videogames for the past 20 years, and now $20 has become unacceptable? You pay $1 for a game, and more often than not, you are gaining $1 (or less) worth of enjoyment. Many $1 games, such as Tiny Wings, have a lot of depth of skill development, and replayability. However, very few $1 mobile games, if any, have any depth of CONTENT. This game is $20 because it provides 200 hours worth of gameplay, and a massive amount of content and storyline to explore. So really, this game is not over priced, because there's simply more game there. Saying that it should cost $1 is like saying a car should cost $100 because it serves the same function as a bicycle: to provide a person with transportation. The game fires on all cylinders, and is one of the first games I've ever had on a mobile device that I truly want to sit down and dedicate time to, rather than just something to do while I'm taking a dump.

    The greatest game to ever reach ios, It proves that ios is capable of wonderful titles. It is an incredible port of the ds original game, and the kind of game that appears once in a decade. A must play for those who love a good experience through gaming. Expand
  3. This is a great port of an amazing game the came out on the DS years ago. The visuals have been updated for the iPad (although they are not at retina resolution), and so have the controls and music. The story and characters are really good and it plays like a dream. I cannot recommend this game highly enough - it is probably the best game that I have played on the iPad. Expand
