------------------------------------
"The kind of deathly sci-fi that you’ll enjoy if you liked Dead Space or the frightening moments of desperation in Gravity."
"Heavy Metal Thunder is a cruel and unforgiving gamebook. It bashes you against the debris of space over and over, and is happy to leave you at the mercy of all manner of terrors."
"The whole thing is presented brilliantly. The skill check and fighting interface in particular makes tapping the screen to stop some dice feel surprisingly futuristic."
"Its refreshingly grim, and manages to keep you entertained throughout its hefty running time."
"Fans of the genre thirsting for something a little darker should definitely give it a look."

-- Pocket Tactics

Pros and cons of Heavy Metal Thunder - The Interactive SciFi Gamebook app for iPhone and iPad

Heavy Metal Thunder - The Interactive SciFi Gamebook app good for

Easily one of my favorite gamebooks on the iPad. Darker in tone and humor than most of what youll find in the genre, its definitely a must buy for anyone who enjoys the Sci-if setting.
Ive played a lot of game book and story games over the years but few have really kept my attention on the iPhone. HMT does that with a gripping story, good mechanics, beautiful graphics and - best of all - a darn good app; well thought out and easy to use the app never gets in the way of the story and fun. Im only half way though but this thing deserves to be on your phone....seriously.
Great App, one gets really engaged in the story. I love the writing style - it describes brilliantly the horror of death and the survival of the fittest scenarios. Great handling of skills and so on, I am on my second playthrough now. I found a bug, though: Reika just disappears when we enter the bay - were did she go? Let her embark a different ship or whatever, but fix this please.
Excellent game, only complaint is that i wish it had a night mode where the background is black and the text white, but thats a small UI complaint. Honestly, overall highly recommended. :-)
This type of story is what got me excited as a youth to start reading and stay reading. Takes me back to grade school trying to cheat in my choose your own adventure books. Great book game! I think !lol
A few bugs like I couldnt level up past level two even tho I had 47 exp in the last chapter and I think you should expand the inventory by 1 in each category but other wise a good game

Some bad moments

As a scifi fan I can only say that this story is sh-t. Combat is sh-ttier though.
For me, the "game" was just a white screen with a menu. What is the point of the game anyway?
I love this, not sure to call it a game or book but its amazing. I cant wait til the next one is out
Im going to be honest is dont really play text adventure games because the choice ones got boring. I figured I would try this out and I was sooo into it. It was short for me ( great reader) and I would be more than happy to pay for the 2nd chapter. Though I would prefer it to be free. And I very highly recommend this for those bored or looking for a different kind of text adventure.
It is a great game, very fun and in depth, makes you think about each choice, and how that might end up Never rush through anything in this game, think each choice out Overall a great game
Im appalled that this is free, I would pay good money for this if I knew it was this good.
