Reaper APK download for Android: story and gameplay

The adventure opens with a few lines of dialogue that drop you into a fantasy world of green lands ruled by an imaginary empire. Right away you notice the classic RPG conversation system.

Reaper goes further than most mobile games by letting you decide what your hero says. When villagers offer you a handful of coins to wipe out the enemies threatening them, you can accept the job, or turn it down as underpaid and push for a better fee.

Combat plays out in 2D side-scrolling view. You move the pale swordsman through each stage and cut down enemies to clear it, with blood spraying from every hit to give fights real weight.

Progression and content

The RPG systems are deep enough to feel like a console game. Your experience bar fills as you defeat enemies and finish main and side quests, and each time you level up you pick one of 3 abilities, letting you shape the swordsman around your own playstyle.

The soundtrack deserves a mention too. It is one of the game’s strengths, with plenty of tracks that keep the atmosphere fresh and do not repeat too soon.

The game is free to download, while the original version uses an in-app purchase to unlock the full content.

Requirements and installing the APK

Reaper needs Android 4.4 or newer, and the download is only about 22 MB, so it runs comfortably on most phones and tablets.

The file is a standard APK with no extra data to copy. After downloading, allow installation from unknown sources in your device settings, open the file and tap Install. Best of all, the game plays offline, so you can take it anywhere without a connection.
