Pascal's Wager Wiki

This is a very simple review. If you are at all a fan of Souls like games (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Nioh, Lords Of The Fallen) you will love this game no doubt. It is more than a Souls clone, the developers have created some unique aspects not found an the aforementioned games that really stand out (though I won’t ruin the surprises here) Graphics are beautiful, gameplay is wonderful especially considering this is on a mobile device, voice acting is so-so but doesn’t take away from the enjoyment at all, story is there but like most “Souls” like games you have to search for the story which is part of the fun, sound effects are wonderful and match well to the atmosphere of your changing environments. One VERY IMPORTANT thing to note is you most certainly will need to use a Bluetooth controller of some form to play this (ps4 or xbox controllers now supported on iOS 13.3 I use my ps4 controller and it’s just like playing Souls) it would be remarkable to see anyone play this game and be even decent at it using the touch screen controls only, just my opinion anyways. The developers are active and interact with the people who buy the game and have even mentioned that DLC and updates are on the way! Very cool. TL;DR If you are a fan of any of the souls like genre then get the game you will love it, just make sure you have a Bluetooth controller to use as touch screen controls are very difficult to manage for this style game.

Have to say this first: awesome job developers you have actually made a game that I have not regretted buying and have enjoyed very much. We need more full games like this with work that shows in the lore and art style of the game. Now for the review yes voice acting is off but it’s a mobile game and with that in mind it does the job well. The subtitles are off though so I would recommend just listening to them talk. I wish we could teleport to altars but then again that is just the souls in me talking the gap between each one isn’t so big to warrant it so I understand why we can’t. Now I use a controller so the biggest thing for people would be if they have one to use or not. Without one it is hard and for a mobile game even though it’s a good getting a controller to go with it if one is not available might be a lot to some. I will not lower a star for that though this a style of game and with this style of game certain things are required to survive better. Anyways yes buy it and support these guys/gals so they can bring us more stuff like this.

Four hours into this game I can say unequivocally that it’s the most complex and well done action RPG game I’ve ever played. I’m in awe that the developers were able to fit a complex game like this with detailed graphics, combat system and character customization in a game played on my phone. As a big blood-born and dark souls fan being able to say that this game holds its own and brings unique things to the tables is a breath of fresh air. I’ll go as far as to say that this game brings new elements to this genre of video games more so than Nioh did. I’m almost hesitant to play this game all the time because it’s so fantastic I don’t want to end. I’ve been waiting for a game like this for years to display the capabilities of high end smart phones. Bravo to the developers of this game and I can’t wait to see the new releases and additions that they add to this game. I also am excited to see what future games they develop. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this company as they’re doing some great work.

If you like final fantasy, dragon age and resident evil, this game is an amazing mashup of the 3! Has great replay ability and was so fun to play through. A good grind session in the first area sets you up great til the mid point in the game. Gameplay 9/10... I just beat the game and it was a fantastic experience throughout. I used it exclusively on my phone touch screen and has little to no issues. Fantastic job here. Storyline 8/10... so, you can tell this was translated. At times, it’s hard to follow the story and it seems parts maybe missing. If we could get someone to look through this and beef up the storyline dialogue just a little bit, you’ve got 10/10. The story is unique and was a breathe of fresh air. Graphics 9/10... for a mobile this is near perfect. Maybe a few crisper lines here or there, but the aesthetics and overall feel of the game do a great job with the grisly feel. Honestly this was a great experience and was hard to put down. Any improvements I would make, update the dark mist area a bit. The DLC is a great way to help level your hero, but is a bit boring and repetitive. I know it’s a grinding area And love you’ve implemented this into the game, my only issue is again, it’s a bit boring and mundane. I’ve written only one other review which was a negative. This game is hands down the best I’ve ever played on mobile. That’s saying a lot as a senior RPG fan. Keep the content coming devs!!

I was intrigued to see a game so similar to the souls series. Story is vague and interesting makes you want to adventure to gain some background knowledge. Combat is strategic and very smooth for the most part.. which comes to my next subject the controls are horrible on touch screen especially if you’re not quick.. now I’m not sure if it’s because I’m running on an older iPhone because framerate does drop at certain points however it’s possible to connect a controller via Bluetooth to give a more console feel which is truly what I recommend to keep you engaged and your field of view open without your fingers getting in the way! Overall I’d have have to say it’s solid so far I look forward to more content and would be interesting to see this game expand into something even bigger. Would love to see some unique customization options if possible? Overall 5 stars from me and would recommend this game. 🔥✨

The gameplay is pretty straightforward for the genre, there's tons of content and sidequests. There's a simple upgrade system to improve stats, gain abilities, and different fighting styles based on the characters you use. The fighting systems and the quirks of various foes is pretty manageable. As you playthrough, the game increases in difficulty and offers some benefits for subsequent playthroughs. Nothing too unique, but it's easy to adapt to while still having to overcome challenges according to your experience. There's a lot of storyline and background for all the characters. Some of the details can only be learned or experience through sidequests, but you can spend a lot of time on the storyline and various sidequests to get better accessories and cutscenes that give you insight into the characters’ history. The sidequests without DLC are expansive. There's special items, storyline, multiple endings, rare accessories, and special materials that all add to your abilities or experience. You can play twice as long just based on the extras outside of the main story. If you replay, you'll find it necessary to do those extra quests to fight enemies as the game increases difficulty. Overall, it's a solid game worth the money, I enjoyed all the features and story for a ton of hours. If you like this genre, you'll love this game, the DLC is worth buying, especially after newgame+.

Let me start with this. I am a huge fan and long time player of the Soulsborne series. I have been wanting a Dark Souls-like game on mobile forever. This game truly captures the vibes. There are a few detractions, as can be expected with a lower budget and less hardware to work with. They are small and don’t take away from the game. The graphics are beautiful and top of the line, the story is decent, and the combat is legit. The touch controls are decent, but this game truly shines with a controller for easier playability. I’d like to see a bit more customization for weapons and such, but I know there was limited time for production and such. Overall, this is a masterclass in mobile gaming. I deleted Call Of Duty and a few other big name titles because my time is going to be tied up in this game. Kudos to the developers, and I truly hope to see Pascal’s Wager II sometime soon ❤️

Other mobile games should look at this and see an example of Mobley gaming done right! This is a great game for people looking for a challenge, and I love the Dark Souls like gameplay and combat style where your moves matter and it isn’t just your average hack and slash button mashing. Within the new dlc, I tried going into it after defeating the boss for Edith and found that the enemies as you progressed more had such larger health pools that I couldn’t even keep going due to the fact. Could be my bad for entering too early lol. Other than the occasional frame rate drop in few certain areas, this game is just fantastic. I’d recommend anyone I know or don’t to play it. It’s definitely worth the 7 bucks, and I would have paid even more for it to be honest. Thanks so much for creating such a work of art for it is truly wonderful.

halfway into the game and i gotta say really fantastic game. the graphics are stunning for a phone, a good linear story line, the maps are medium length, with splitting pathways and treasure hidden around, and mild difficult bosses however after learning their patterns it becomes easy, which i don't mind, the ability to trade people is also nice. nice variation of monsters and interactions. that saying there are some problems id address. Skill combos are very hard to do, it rarely works with mobile controls, and mobs that never stop attacking, they will attack x5 and knock you over and rinse and repeat spamming meaning you cant win unless you trade health with them. the only big thing i care about is skill combos not being able to do the combos which is a really big thing in combat is the worse, however you can still make by it even without them. if you don't mind these tiny details and don't get triggered in the beginning and keeping pushing until you understand their patterns, it is a wonderful game to get, definitely worth your money, and time to get absorbed into.

Let me start by saying: “This game is sick!” I love the atmosphere, reminds me of the entire souls series. I like the flow of combat, the voice acting is fine. “Poor translation” doesn’t take away from the experience at all. I actually think it’s kinda cool that the dialogue doesn’t always match up with the voice acting. (Try watching a Netflix original anime.) I really like the game so far. (Still in the first area lol, I’m really scouring the map.) I’m maybe an hour or so in. I researched the game before I bought it, and for what the content entails I didn’t mind paying for this game. I hardly spend money on mobile games aside from a couple 1 or 2 dollar purchases here and there. I’ve only had two issues. First and most important, I can’t seem to get any internet connectivity or load dlc. Second, the delay from guarding to attacking is nuts. It’s like a second, but that’s a lifetime in a game like this. I hope to see some of these issues resolved, but if they aren’t I’m still gonna swear by this game. Thanks for all the hard work devs!

I haven’t played Dark Souls but I watch streamers who play it, and while it’s by no means Dark Souls, it’s probably the closest mobile version we will get. The graphics and mechanics are good. I only have one problem with the game. I can’t get over the voice acting. It there’s an old lady you meet close to the beginning of the game. She sounds like a grown mans attempt at making an old lady voice, and most of the voices don’t match the characters. Cheap DLCs, good graphics, and good touch screen controls. The atmosphere for the game is dark and mysterious, but it ruins the atmosphere when I burst out laughing because of the voice acting. I’m pretty sure this is an indie developer game, so I don’t really blame them for bad voice acting. But please, for the love of god add an option to turn off the voice acting, better the voice acting. 9/10. Would be 10/10 if the voice acting was better.

The game is fantastic, and it’s by far the best RPG I’ve played on a mobile device. The combat is great. I’m not a fan of dark soul, but I enjoyed it quite much. However, the plot is a little bit weak, names and concepts just keeps popping out without much introduction. And it really bewildered me. (I happen to be a sucker for plot).And the Characters speaks...Some really weird English. I get it that some exotic accent and syntax gives ppl some mysterious game experience. But call me old fashioned ,!I would definitely prefer some good old British accent. From posh to less posh, which I believe, would be a perfect fit for this type of game. And all the weird syntax sometimes give me a hard time understanding the story. But overall, it’s a solid game.

I just feel like a game of this caliber should have a better English adaptation; the poor use of English grammar really breaks the mood of the game. The misspellings throughout the game create a jarring experience against the tone of the story (and the script itself doesn’t make much sense, either in story, concept, or linguistics). The voice acting is...odd. It’s stilted and monotone; I get that it’s trying to create a dark and somber ambiance, but the nuance and inflections that convey the necessary emotion simply aren’t there. It’s like the tonal rules of Chinese were just converted into English (and at certain points in the game, the captions are straight-up Chinese. Lol). Also, whenever you encounter a locked door, the text reads “Cannot be open from this side.” It should be “Cannot be opened from this side”, as an active past participle. For $7, the English shouldn’t be a “good enough” cultural attempt by non-English speakers to “try their best.” Get someone who speaks fluent English as a first language to review the script and make it read like it wasn’t hammered out by a third-grade ESL student. Just fix it. That said, the combat is superb, and the character move sets are as infuriating as they are satisfying once you master them. Would be 5 stars as the best game available on mobile if the story made a bit more intuitive sense and the English adaptation were taken more seriously. Thanks!

This game is almost a brilliant adaptation of the Dark Souls formula for mobile but stumbles in areas where it matters most. It maintains the awkward input buffering system from Dark Souls that leads to actions happening long after the button press, but is made to feel even worse because of touch controls and a complete lack of customization on touch button placement and size. The game also juggles too many progression systems, amplified by managing multiple characters. While leveling is a shared resource the talent/perk trees are not, and acquiring the items to necessary to progress multiple characters through those trees is a slog. Leveling also feels tedious thanks to the incredibly slow pace of dedicating bones at an altar, little quality of life things like this really drag down the experience of a mobile game. Voice acting and dialogue are amateurish for this "AAA but mobile" style game. This isn't the end of the world but it hurts an already flawed experience. I really wanted to love this game but it simply doesn't have the polish necessary to make an Dark Souls adaption really work on a mobile device. Many issues are fairly minor and the game could be amazing if they're addressed, but as is Pascal's Wager is just disappointing and frustrating to play unless you're desperate for something new to play on your iPhone. You're better off spending your time on other mobile games or simply turning on a console to play Dark Souls.
