This make the game pretty hard to play sometimes. Still enjoy the game though. ### 4/5 — it’s fun, but just one thing.. *2024-04-15, version 2.2* don’t get me wrong, i love playing this game. but every time i close the app, it never saves my progress? can you fix this please? ### 3/5 — 3 star for effort, but is seriously flawed *2022-02-27, version 2.2* The graphic interface has obscured dashboard info, when the character has embarked, one can only guess at the status of the elements. Further, a more significant flaw is the slow action response to tapping in the midst of a battle. ### 3/5 — Great game if the bugs get fixed *2018-05-01, version 2.2* I have played a game very similar to this one before and I like the idea of it quite a bit. I enjoyed my time playing this but it had a pretty huge problem because the attack button hardly works making it impossible to explore the map for any length of time other than that I think it’s fantastic. ### 4/5 — Good game, bad bugs. *2014-11-21, version 1.1* I like the way you progress in the game. From the in-game setbacks (Not too huge), to having to explore the map to unlock new items. When you start, you have almost nothing, but eventually, you find yourself with a bustling city. In the beginning-middle of the game, you have to balance your resources to progress, which I find interesting. I would definitely give this game 5/5, but it has a few bad bugs, such as the inventory bug (As I have just deemed it!). When you reach a certain number of items you can use to explore, you can no longer access them all. This makes exploring the map almost impossible, especially when it locks away items such as torches, which are absolutely essential. This is a good game, but it has very bad bugs. ### 2/5 — Dont bother! *2014-11-20, version 1.1* I was pretty excited when i saw this because i am a big fan of the first one but this one doesn't even compare. The way 2 progresses seems like its trying to be just like 1 but misses mark by a long shot. The user interface is crappy and doesn't work properly, the battles are done using a tiny pop up window and the looting doesn't show what you have or how much more you can carry. This very well could be the most disappointing game sequel i have ever played. Don't waste your time. ### 2/5 — Good but buggy *2014-11-19, version 1.0* I have lost the ability to add torches to my inventory when I embark, thus I can no longer progress. :-( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good for apple phone users *2026-07-30, version 2.2* This game won't load 99.9% of the time.😭 ### 1/5 — Bad copy of the original *2020-09-16, version 2.2* Completely ripped off from Amirali Rajan’s original game ‘A Dark Room’ it doesn’t even try to hide it. Awful ### 1/5 — Basically Pirated *2019-05-23, version 2.2* This game is a complete ripoff of “A Dark Room,” one of the most compelling and beautiful games I’ve played to date. I downloaded this bootlegged version just to tell y’all this. It’s a direct copy in almost every way including concept, visual organization, plot, and even exact words and phrases from the original. Do not get this game as it’s just shy from legally being considered stolen work. Go get “A Dark Room” and support the true work of art instead. ### 1/5 — Get the real thing *2017-05-25, version 2.2* Screw you dude, if you going to steal someone else's game, at least bother to change the name ### 1/5 — Complete rip off *2017-02-06, version 2.2* Just a copy of a dark room. ### 1/5 — I keep dying *2014-11-16, version 1.0* I love this game but every time I embark, I die. I press on the small box to defend myself and nothing happens. It's very frustrating. You can't progress in the game at all. I have over 18000 wood, hundreds of all other supplies, medicine, etc. but can't do anything but die when I go out. ### 2/5 — Good but….. *2025-11-29, version 2.2* I love this game but there’s just one BIG issue, it won’t let me finish it. When I got the old star ship, I fixed it up with alien alloy and I hit lift off and I can’t steer the ship so I can’t finish the game please fix and there are a few bugs, please fix this I know I’m not the only one having these issues, your game could have 5 stars please fix this 😕 ### 2/5 — It’s okay… *2025-08-23, version 2.2* The game started off great. It painted the atmosphere of the game and the descriptions were great. But when I left and closed my phone all of my progress completely restarted! So I closed the tab and it restarted again! ### 2/5 — Believe the (bad) reviews *2022-03-31, version 2.2* This is a copy. I saw this while looking at the App Store, considering getting A Dark Room, and I didn’t download this. It says a lot. No, I’m no greedy developer. How do I code? ### 2/5 — Broken *2016-10-13, version 2.2* It's a lot of fun, but twice now the game has randomly restarted on me out of nowhere. Not worth restarting again with how slow it can be. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 怎么改中文 *2026-08-01, version 2.2* 怎么改中文 ### 5/5 — An affordable alternative *2026-03-01, version 2.2* This game is a good free alternative to the paid game ### 5/5 — Reminiscent *2025-09-21, version 2.2* I first played this game years ago. I still think about it fondly to this day. A game I never tire of. I will miss this game if it ever goes anywhere. Wish I could play this on other platforms ### 5/5 — Good *2021-11-22, version 2.2* Don’t believe the negative reviews. Its A dark room for free. Theres no bugs or anything just greedy developers making fake reviews. Game should be free on the app store just like how its free in the browser. Im happy theres a free exact copy ### 5/5 — Unexpected *2019-05-13, version 2.2* Blew my mind! ### 5/5 — Zombieman again *2019-05-02, version 2.2* Still a great game, and I was really cringy 4 years ago oof ### 5/5 — Thanks *2016-11-01* Thanks for the povo port guys, wasn't prepared to pay .99 for an hours entertainment tapping on stuff so this is a great substitute. ### 5/5 — It's like sky rim with words! *2015-03-03, version 2.2* OMG I PLAY THIS EVERYTIME IM BORED,get it!👍😃 ### 5/5 — 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 *2015-02-02, version 2.2* Really good game!! It's hard but it's a good type of hard!! (That's what she said) lol 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — Entertaining! *2014-11-17, version 1.0* Having a really good time with the game and love the RPG aspects. Absolutely love the difficulty and challenge. Could use an update and bug fixes though as I can no longer access some my town menus. Might have to do with me playing on a 4S, though. Overall, satisfying experience. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
