What Swordigo is and who it suits
Swordigo is an action adventure game in which you move through a side-scrolling world, jumping between platforms and fighting monsters with a sword. The developer describes it as a 3D platformer and as a mobile adventure game for Android phones and tablets. It is rated for ages 7 and up, so it suits players who like classic platform adventures and want something they can play on a touch screen.
The listing describes a magical realm made up of dungeons, towns, treasure and monsters, and a character who grows stronger as you progress.
Platforming and exploring dungeons, towns and caves
Most of the game is jumping across platforms and moving through the level from left to right. Enemies stand along the way, so each jump and sword swing takes some timing. The listing says the platforming was built for mobile devices rather than adapted from a console design.
Progress takes you through towns, treasure rooms and dungeons. The developer also points to gloomy caves, where powerful hidden swords can be found. Searching these areas is how you find better gear, so exploring off the main route has a purpose.
Weapons, items and spells for combat
Combat relies on a range of weapons, items and spells. The listing presents these as the tools you collect to defeat enemies, so the gear you pick up changes how you fight.
The hidden swords found in caves and dungeons are the strongest weapons the listing mentions. Finding them means exploring rather than following the direct path through each area.
Levelling up your character
Your character gains experience as you defeat enemies and progress, and levels up as that experience builds. Each new level makes the character stronger for the harder parts of the adventure.
Experience and levels give a reason to fight through optional encounters, not just reach the end of each area.
Touch controls on phones and tablets
The game uses touch controls tuned for smartphones and tablets. You can change the control layout to suit how you hold the device and how you like to play. Because the controls are on the touch screen, all movement, jumping and attacks happen with your fingers.
The listing says the controls are precise, which matters in a platformer where a missed jump costs you progress. Adjusting the layout is the main way to change how the game feels to play.
