As you pass by, the village elder's words of encouragement still ringing in your ears, a citizen calls after you, warning against the lower road. Who knows what malefic danger lurks there? Or anywhere else for that matter? With your majestic blue hair and green jerkin, you present quite a picture to your enemies (or so you might hope), but this is Swordigo, you are the hero, and nobody can kill the hero in his own game. Er... right?
Putting all worries aside, continue on your way in Touch Foo's nostalgia-inducing RPG platform adventure using the supremely handy and very well functioning on screen controls. As your left thumb adroitly negotiates left and right movements, employ your right to hack, slash, jump and cast spells. As you rise in level and acquire a wealth of soul shards—earned in battle or from cutting down grass (sound familiar?)—your character customization opportunities also increase. Health is monitored via red red hearts on top of the screen while a blue mana bar traces your magical abilities. If all this seems like homage to popular platformers of days gone by, it probably is!
Analysis: The road starts out mellow, yet soon dexterity and practiced maneuvers are called for. This multi-quest journey is long, more than ten hours to reach every corner of the complex map and richly varied landscapes, including a number of platforming puzzles. The deadly fail from a missed move is inevitable from time to time, but teleporting portals/checkpoints lessen the sting. Your efforts to trudge on are repaid with the delight of boss battles, treasure chests, weapon and armor upgrades, and spelunking through intricate caverns.
Responsive controls aid well-timed jump maneuvers through serpentine cave passages and spell-triggered switches give another way to burn off magic energy, something you'll want to conserve for boss battles. Sword combat with tougher baddies and bosses is less reliable. Combos are not an option and mobility is limited during melee fights. If you're looking for an easier battle, devote time to grinding and leveling up your magic ranks to best use all four spells.
Touch Foo, creators of the equally charming Soosiz, knows how to please with elements that matter most in a mobile game. Some games are all gorgeous retina displays but awkward controls. Swordigo's on screen button controls work very well, on the other hand. You may have occasion to slip up once or twice at first but soon the intuitive interface transports you back to an earlier time, happily playing Zelda on your Game Boy. Swordigo has beautiful environments to behold as well, especially when seen through the warm tide of nostalgia and the immense enjoyment of hack and slash platforming. It's the quintessential epic adventure. Can you, the hero, succeed in this quest? There's only one way to find out!

General Information
The controls are touch based and, in order of appearance from left to right, are left, right and jump.
To view the in-game menu tap the icon in the upper left corner. It may appear as a gear, a map, a moneybag, etc. depending on what category has been selected within this menu.
From the in-game menu you can view your character info, inventory, world map, quest list, and options.
Your options include music and effects volume, control configuration, enabling 'OpenFeint', achievements and leader boards.
The hearts (appearing in the top center of the main screen) represent your life/health. You begin the game with 3.
The soul shard (appearing on the left of the main screen under the in-game menu icon) represents currency. You begin with none.
Naming Your Character:
Start a game.
Tap the in-game menu icon (upper left corner)
Tap options (gear icon)
Tap 'Quit to Menu'
Tap 'Start'
Tap 'Set Name' in the player box.
Type the name.
Tap 'Set Name'
Tap 'Start' to re-enter the game with your named character.
General Game Play:
To move, tap and hold the directional arrow in the direction in which you want to move.
Double tap the arrows to move faster.
To jump, tap the jump icon. While in the air, tap the jump icon again to perform a double jump.
To perform a higher jump, hold the jump icon down longer.
The sword icon will appear to the left of the jump icon once you have received your first weapon. To use your weapon, tap the sword icon.
The magic spell icon will appear above the jump icon once you have received your first magic spell. To use your magic spell, tap the magic spell icon.
To change your magic spell, tap the icon in the upper right corner (under the blue 'mana/magic power' bar that will appear after you receive your first spell) and tap the spell you'd like to use.
When a text box appears, tap the box to see the person has more to say. If they don't, just move away from them.
There is a portal in Cairnwood Village. Once you have discovered other portals, you may use them to quick travel.
After completing your first quest, the houses and shops will open for you to inspect and explore. Just tap to enter.
Clay pots can be bashed with your weapon or magic spells or thrown (use the hand icon to lift them) for items; i.e. health, soul shards, etc. Remember, good things come to those who break clay pots.
Grass can be swiped with your sword for items, i.e. health, soul shards, etc.
Large boxes can be lifted and thrown or placed elsewhere when needed (again, use the hand icon to lift them).
Use your sword to reflect incoming projectiles...think baseball!
Each time you level up you can choose to make one area stronger, health, damage or magic.

Get ready to battle the Beetle. After this, all the platforms will sink with your weight, so jump quickly. At the third platform, after the Beetle, jump on to the rock ledge above you.
Screenshot
Continue up, alternating between the rock ledges and dropping platforms until you reach the chest. Open it for a sack of experience.
Make your way back down and across the river. Take out a couple more bandits, then exit to the outskirts of Florennum.
9 - Outskirts of Florennum
Screenshot
Activate the portal, then continue to the gate. You'll find it locked. Turn around and jump on the arches to enter the door in the wall.
Screenshot
Go into the Walls of Florennum. At the end of the platform, jump to the first step. Hop down and open the treasure chest for a sack of exp.

Screenshot
The Gauntlet
Make your way through the descending columns. Timing is everything.
When you get to the really big one, with the huge chasm to cross, go almost to the edge.
Screenshot
When the column rises to the level just below your feet, tap the 'right' button twice (to run faster) and make your jump.
Push the first box in to the pit. Push the second box under the platform.
Screenshot
Jump over the next box, to the next section.

Jump the fireballs and hit him with Magic Bolts, or strike with your sword.
A chest will appear. Open it for the key and make your way left to the Western Guard Tower.
Take out the level 10 Mage, go down and cross the wooden swings, and go down the steps.
From the second to last step, jump on the column and cross to a key. If you fall off the columns, jump the holes in the floor. There's spikes in them thar holes! Get the key and go back the way you came.
Cross back over the wooden swings. At the last swing, jump down and go down the hill to a locked gate and open it. Continue on to the Dungeon of Florennum.
11 - Dungeon of Florennum

Recover The Second Shard
1 - Dungeon of Florennum
Screenshot
Head past the cells and jump up to the ledge.
Screenshot
Jump and use your magic bolt on the blue orb.
Screenshot
Hop down and magic bolt the blue orb.
Screenshot
Turn, go to the edge of the ledge, and use your magic bolt to get the last blue orb.
Screenshot
Hop up to the ledge where you see the smaller ledge over the pressure plate and spikes in the ceiling.
Screenshot
Drop down and go to the opening in the floor by the closed gate. Drop a magic bomb down here. It will be pushed over to activate the orb you can't reach and stop the spikes. Timing is key.
Go through the now open gate. Take out the bat, then jump the river while avoiding the green balls.
Screenshot
Do the same here: this time there are three green balls to avoid.
Screenshot
Exit to the Dungeon of Florennum.
2 - Dungeon of Florennum
Screenshot
Go up the first ramp. Drop down on to the pressure plate. Strike the orbs in sequence to allow the fireball through the pillars to strike the orb on the other side.

Get the key and go back down. Unlock the gate and defeat the Level 11 Dark Knight.
Go down and exit to the Overseer's Lair
3 - Overseer's Lair
Screenshot
Activate the portal. Continue on to the boss. Wear him down a little.
I fought him from the platform in the middle and used Magic Bolt. Every time you hit him, he will teleport to the opposite side. Jump, magic bolt, avoid fire balls, turn and repeat.
Screenshot
When he gets to 70%, he will teleport to further along the ramp, and you can fight him straight up. If you stand at the back of the first stair, his fireballs can't reach you.
Screenshot
When he's down to 40%, he will, again, teleport to further along the ramp.
This time he shoots, then teleports in a three patterned sequence. If you duck right behind the center platform and just attack him when he appears there, you'll be in pretty good shape. Most fireballs will not reach you here, but there will be an occasional stray to watch out for. If you time it just right, you can hit him three times before he disappears.
Screenshot
Exit throught the gate, pick up the Second Shard of The Mageblade, then exit back to the Dungeon of Florennum.

Swordigo Walkthrough
Part 2, The Fiery Depths to World's End Keep
The Fiery Depths
1 - Outskirts of Florennum
Screenshot
Enter the outskirts, stop after you've passed under the second arch. Jump up on top of the third arch.
Screenshot
Jump over to the top of the fourth arch and on to the platform.
Screenshot
Defeat the fire bats, jump down for the treasure, go out the way you came, exit to the Wastelands.
2 - Wastelands
Screenshot
Go until you can go up.
Screenshot
Jump up and make your way toward the Huge Cavern. You'll encounter some Fel and Bush Beetles...nothing major, until Jack, the Ambusher. Defeat him.
While it's not very sportsmanlike, I started shooting Magic Bolts where I'm standing in the screenshot, before he even came at me. Killed him without him landing a blow.
Screenshot
Enter the Huge Cavern, get the treasure. Continue right, to the end of the ledge. Drop a magic bomb. Time it so it will explode on the breakable wall below you.
Screenshot
Drop down. As you drop to just below the opening, use your jump to hop in there. Enter the Thieves' Hideout.
Screenshot
Make your way to the chest, exit back to the Wastelands.
Make your way to the swinging platform.
Screenshot
Go all the way up the stairs, over to the platform and get the treasure from the chest.
Screenshot
Come back down and go right when you can. Go up the stairs.
Screenshot
Exit to the Wastelands.
3 - Wastelands
Screenshot
Activate the portal. When you get to the Ambusher, if you fight him from where I am in the screenshot (before the bridge), very few of his knives will touch you.
Screenshot
Defeat him and jump the huge chasm (same principle from getting the treasure in the Eastern Guard Tower...but this time we don't have to worry about a huge wall coming down on our heads!).
Screenshot
Make your way up the ramp.
Screenshot
Keep going 'til you reach the swinging bridge.
Screenshot
Drop down, cross the platforms (be wary of the Fel Beetles) and open the treasure chest.
Screenshot
Defeat the Fel Beetle on the ledge behind you, go back over the platforms and jump on the swinging platform.
Swing the platform, jump to the ledge high on the right (you won't be able to see it until you get the swing going).
Screenshot
Go up and left, over the bridges until you get to the Fel Beetles. Drop down, defeat them. Jump to the ledge on the left.
Screenshot
Jump on the first rock, throw a bomb through the opening to break the rock on the other side.
Screenshot
Note: If you get it on the first try, good on ya! If you're like me and you don't, drop down the ledge and drop left. You'll land by the portal. Go out and come back in to re-set the map and make your way back up for another try. I have found no way to get the rock through without the first rockpile there. The good news is the more you have to re-do the map, the better you get...so it goes a little quicker after the first few times you re-set it.
Drop a bomb on the remaining rock pile.
Drop down into the opening, push the red boxes to the left and hop over them.
Screenshot
Enter the cabin, open the chest for a sack of exp and treasure, exit out through the cabin.
Bomb the rock pile and push the three boxes to the ledge.
Screenshot
Bomb the remaining rock pile, jump up through the opening, jump over to the ledge where you defeated the Fel Beetles, go across the bridge and jump to the top ramp.
Screenshot
Enter the red gate.
Screenshot
Strike the orb, platforms on the level below you will lower. Turn around, defeat Zudara, the Executioner.
Screenshot
Go down, cross the platforms, exit to Greyhedge Village.
Screenshot
4 - Greyhedge Village
Screenshot
Defeat the Wastewalkers, break the clay pots, continue to the portal and activate it.
After the merchant's house, go up the stairs.
Screenshot
At the top, talk to a person who will let you know that someone locked the front door of the house.
Turn and continue past the healer's house until you reach the clay pots.
Screenshot
Use them to get over the house and enter through the back door.
Pick up a pot, take it back to just past the healers house, before the downward slope, and set it down.
Get another pot, go back, hop on the first pot, jump to the house and set it down.
Get the last pot, go back and set it on top of the second pot.
Screenshot
Get on the pots and jump over the house.
If you break a pot, enter and exit the healer's house. That will reset the pots.
Enter the Mysterious House, defeat the skeleton. Open the chest and receive a new sword, The Thorn.
Exit the house, go back toward where you got the pots and exit to Greyhedge Crossing.
5 - Greyhedge Crossing
Screenshot
As you enter, you may notice a chest on the level below you. Leave it for now, we'll get to it. Stay on the top path, enter the Greyhedge Caves
6 - Greyhedge Caves
Screenshot
Go down and get the chest for a sack of exp.
Drop down the second opening after entering the cave. You'll land right on the chest.
Screenshot
Exit the caves to Greyhedge Crossing.
7 - Greyhedge Crossing
Screenshot
Go down the wooden ledges.
Screenshot
Jump on the swing, rock it (double jump up and down on it, you can try going side to side, but I found just jumping on one side was easier).
Screenshot
Jump on the ledge to your left and get the treasure (this is the treasure we passed over earlier).
Screenshot
Go right and exit to the Wastelands.
Screenshot
Keep going and exit to the Great Caves.
8 - Great Caves

Jump over to the ledge where the rock wall is and bomb it. Exit to the Great Caves.
Screenshot
Jump the ledges, dodging the hanging rocks, using the same technique from the King's Road.
Screenshot
Jump from the first ledge and hit your jump again when you're just under the point of the rock.
Exit to the Great Caves.
Stop at the ledge. Use your bomb and jump and throw it at the rock wall. This is tricky. You have to time it just right to explode on the wall and as you release the bomb, turn and jump back to the ledge. If you don't make it, just go back around and re-enter. The wall doesn't re-generate, so when you come back in just jump across.
Screenshot
Exit the Great Caves.
Hop up on the ledge and get your treasure.
Screenshot
Go back the way you came, jump back over the opening, go back across the ledges, bomb the rock wall and drop down the stairs.
