148apps - As understated as just about every aspect of A Ride into the Mountains might be, everything comes together to craft a truly impressive experience.
A Ride into the Mountains ($0.99) by Lee-Kuo Chen is a beautiful pixelated adventure game that will draw you in to the mysterious world being consumed by dark forces, and skillful archery is your only weapon.
With its placid tone and guy with a bow and arrow on a horse, A Ride into the Mountains clearly takes more than a few pages from Shadow of the Colossus. It ends up being a gently endearing title, but far less of an emotional investment than its influence. Also, the controls are a mess.
A Ride Into the Mountains overcomes a few small rough spots to offer a challenging, intriguing, evocative, and memorable adventure of horseback archery with a stellar minimalist aesthetic.
