Layton: Unwound Future in HD

I just finished this game and it was amazing! Playing this trilogy on my old DSI is a key childhood memory of mine, so when I learned that all three games were available in mobile versions, I immediately bought them. I was not disappointed. This is an incredibly crafted adventure, and I hope to see more like it in the future.

I have a 12 1/2 inch iPad Pro. It’s large and heavy. Why do developers continue to create iPad games in portrait mode in 2020? It looks like a great game and I will update my review if it turns out to be workable, but that is my first impression.<br/><br/>OK, one hour later and I promised I would update my review. This is obviously an iPhone game, not an iPad game. Despite the $14 price tag. <br/><br/>I spent 30 minutes trying to transfer the data to my iPhone. It’s not based on iCloud or Facebook, but a login for the developer on their website. Once that was cleared, I went to the iPhone to download the same game data. <br/><br/>Turns out I had to go back and link the devices. Did that. Tried again. Turns out I had to go back to the iPad and upload the game data. Tried that twice, crashed both times mid-upload. Tried a third time, got it done. Went to the iPhone, tried to download the saved data, it crashed. Tried again and it worked. Now I’m over it and I’m going to delete it.

The storyline and puzzles are so well done. I love the stories! So well done!<br/><br/>I took 1 star away for Flora. Sorry. I rolled my eyes on all her lines. Could she be more silly? She probably could but I wish her character was given more depth. Sorry to take a star from you for it but I had to speak up.

It’s absolutely the best puzzle game. But we still need more appearance of Flora and puzzles akin to what Akita Tago made.

10 minutes in, and I’m hooked. Please, you’ve GOTTA do the rest of the series.

I just got this on my iPad and man is it great seeing the game in HD instead of the tiny pixilated DS screen. It’s been over a decade since I played this + I haven’t played any of the IOS rerelease before this so it feels very new! Thank you so much for completing the trilogy of my favorite childhood game! <br/><br/>( Still think you sould port these 3 games to the switch, I’m sure it would be a similar experience to a iPad mini)

It came out 5 days ago and I finished it yesterday after grinding it for 18 hours. Unwound Future already held the spot of one of my favorite games of all time, and I basically sinked time into nothing but this for the past week. The atmosphere of this game is truly incomparable and you won’t find it anywhere else. The plot is deeply impactful, and to my knowledge there are no loose ends. Every story beat, every interaction, it has a purpose, and you become ingrained in the wonderful world they present you. The puzzles all vary in difficulty, and because not all are necessary to complete the game, anyone who finds them difficult is able to simply move on to those that work for them. The art and style are unique as well, and all the landscapes and puzzles have unique painting-esque portraits to match. the player is able to play the game as they wish, and it all works perfectly. I could never give this game anything other than five stars. It’s marvelous in every way.<br/><br/>And to Level-5, if you’re reading this, there’s nothing I want more than to see my favorite game franchise make its way to mobile in its entirety. Keep up the good work out there.

I now have all Layton games in possession (Original trilogy on mobile and Prequel trilogy on 3DS)! Thanks Level-5, and keep up the good work!!
