Ahem will you review it?
u guys need to fix the bug/glitch in the savoca prison room where there is three skeletons that you have to put in the prison to complete that room, i have check the other gaming consoles and it seems only the nintendo switch is the only one having this bug/glitch problem
I just registered here, only for reason, i wanna tell i have this game and pay for it and i like it, but here are lot of bugs and confused places...like in Prison Room with three skeletons i am not able finish this and sometimes i am not able go inside the cages, I think the problem is with the camera too and some other mechanics in game, next the main and sidequest are confused i read all but still confused where to go on map? The map is very bad the orientation there...The combat style is not good, i am not sure if this difficulty in this game is normal or is too much for players i read many comments from players about this issues, many enemies just hit you 2 times and you died, i spend in game i think 12 hours and i am stuck in that Savoca Prison...i have Nintendo Switch hope you guys release patch for us soon ...
DO NOT BUY THE GAME!
There is a Save Bug that zeros out your coins, hearts, and orbs. Because of this bug, I am stuck in Savoca Prison in the room where you get the lantern. You have to have orbs to active the lanter. With out the orbs you can not cross back over the bridge in the room prior.
The Game develop said that this bug would not prevent game play. But it clear does.
DO NOT BUY THE GAME UNTIL THE BUG IS FIXED!
No need to shout and the bugs have been fixed so you can all buy the game now
All the bugs are not fixed. In Malund's Castle the door won't open
that leads to the Owl Bomb. I have the Triangle Key, but still won't open. I played the game all week-end 03/19-03/20 2022.
The game still has bugs. The game on switch. In Bobo Pit the room with the Flying Tiles. There is no chest at all. Has anyone have this problem?
