Leave a Review The Trail
To the developers:
This is a really great game. It’s entertaining and I can easily play it for hours. It gets more challenging as you go but it’s nice that you can use the map to move around different campsites that you’ve been to.
The one thing is there’s a glitch that when you add to your town’s goods collection (that get traded for town gold once a day), it doesn’t update until you restart the app. So like for example, it’ll say there’s 2/11 sticks in the box, I’ll add 8 sticks, and on the screen where you can add more it’ll say 10/11, but little screen on the top right that drops down when you click on the town icon, will still say 2/11 when I’m at home/at a camp/on the trail.
The app has also been crashing a lot for me lately when I try to go between my house or the town to a camp or vice versa, especially after I’ve added something to the town goods collection; or sometimes the app just crashes when I try to open it the first several times. I hope an update fixes this soon as this is a really great game.Show lessSuperSketcherEtcher🎨✏️t
The best mobile game I have played
This game is an amazing masterpiece I will always love! It starts off with a sense of exploration and finding new lands, then leads into progressing your character. I log in very often, and it is definitely a great game to play, say ,on a long flight or road trip. There are no ads unless you want a random item from the lady with the sign, and you can play offline with most features. I do wish the devs still supported it, and as an amateur game developer myself, I think I would like to make a game like this too. There are a few bugs and things I wish could be in the game, like the birch and mesquite lumber yards, and he bug after crafting where you have to exit out of the game to get the item unfrozen. Overall, great game, with a bit more work it could easily be one of the most popular games on the market.
Sidenote: I have heard that the steam version is better, so I plan on getting that despite having to pay for it, look for me in the reviews :)Show lessDT L-ton CO
Why is Kongregate like this?? UGH
This game is legitimately one of the few apps I’ve kept on my phone and stayed active on, and it’s so gorgeous. Everything about this game scratches a brain itch I didn’t know I had: aesthetics, sound track, gathering, crafting, the town community, all of the different locations, EVERYTHING. It’s truly wonderful.
However, it’s very disappointing as a consumer that this developer has other apps they actively update (rather regularly, I will add) and this isn’t one of them. I completely empathize with having to make certain games priority, but I just feel like The Trail is a gem of an app and it deserves to be prioritized too. There are ppl in my town in game that have been playing since this game first came out, and have restarted multiple times just to enjoy it over and over again. THAT says something!
Additionally, if you - the developers - are still going to accept in-app purchases, you should be updating the game. If people are paying money in the app, it should be continued to be improved upon (which there is SO much potential for, this game is - again - a GEM of a game!!) Honestly, it’s incredibly deceitful for Kongregate to continue accepting in-app purchases on a game they don’t touch, when new players will expect to spend money and keep advancing…just to realize there is a hard-ending point due to lack of updating. That’s bullsh*t truthfully!Show lessRuforcereal
Fun but needs improvement
This game is a lot of fun, but it needs some improvements with glitches and gameplay. Unfortunately, glitches happen often. I’ve fallen through the floor and some items I craft don’t go into my bag and just float in the air and I have the close the app. There could also be some gameplay improvements. One thing I really like about this app is it’s so relaxing and fun, but it’s sometimes the exact opposite because of the energy hearts. They are SO frustrating. I have a lot- 6! I should be able to get all the way through a trail just fine at a normal speed, but even going at the lowest speed I still need to eat a bunch of food to make it. The hearts go way too fast even on the slowest speed, I’ve lost count of how much I’ve passed out. And so many times I’ll be so close to the end so I’ll just eat a few foods and go the slowest speed but then end up passing out anyways, right before I make it. And I can’t wait because it takes FOREVER for all 6 hearts to refill and all my stuff will be gone. That’s my only complaint, all of the other mechanics are fun!Show lessTairamn
This game is good…..
This game is so unforgiving in the worst ways possible. The game is fun, yeah, for like 15 minutes before everything is locked behind a price tag. The game is that classic repetitive nonsense game where you find it good for like the intro before you realize how bad it is, the game is filled with bots that spawn the moment you run out of stamina and takes all of your stuff, and no, none of these “people” are actual players, its just ridiculed with bots that steal stuff, the farming in this game is gross, and the only thing that this has going for it is the graphics. This feels like im playing raid shadow legends but in a form of a p2w “survival” game. You see the gameplay and graphics and think “wow, this is so good” and spend half a minute playing the tutorial and find out the game is just that but in repeat and guess what. repeat. There is nothing to do other then collect, craft, run, die, get everything you worked for stolen by the generated bots, start spending money, find out that the prices are actually stupid and so you quit, feel bad and salty so you come back to try and do something, you actually succeed, and you find out how mindless the gameplay is and how much money and time you have wasted watching ads and grinding.

READ if you are thinking of downloading!!
Ok so here is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. This game is awesome. I LOVE it and can spend hours on end playing it. The reason why this does not get a 5 star rating is the problems it can have. Now, I think the newer the device, the less glitches, but that may not be true. I myself find that this game isn’t that glitchy, but I know for some people that is really a problem. Another big thing is that the “mini games” such as chopping logs, etc... are hard, and I have been having this glitch where they are not working. I have not been able to chop logs or hunt at all. This makes the game hard but not impossible. Just buy the logs in trading or get them through adds. Also, how fast clothes where away is a little ridiculous. I think that if your clothes where away you should just go back to your original set which has no benefits, not just run around in your undergarments. The final problem is some people are getting frustrated that when they get to Edan Falls there are no available houses. Not to worry, just go back to the previous campsite and walk there again. I know it is junky but this will reset the town and maybe there will be a house available. Keep repeating until a lot is open. Have fun playing, (if you download it.)Show lessAgent Eevee 503
It’s good but...
Ok so this game is REALLY good. I’ve downloaded it 2 times before, deleting it half way through first and once I got to eden falls. I can’t remember the specifics why I deleted the game from my phone but I know I enjoyed it. This time is the same, I’m having fun blah blah blah. Anyway I exit the game and turn off my phone going to bed. For background knowledge I had gotten two recipes, the military backpack and the headband thingy (forgot what it was called) now this could TOTALLY be something on my end but when I went back in those recipes weren’t there and I had to get them again. I was kind of mad about that not saving. Idk if there is one but a save button of some sort would be nice. For example you click the save button and exit the game after it saves, and it saves all your stuff and new things and takes you back to where u were or your last campsite. Besides that little mishap (that was probably me) I liked this game a lot!!!!Show lessHI EPISODE!!!!
fun game but...
i think this game is really fun and engaging. i love the graphics, the music, and the objective of the game and that you’re able to craft and things like that. i think certain parts of the game are annoying though, like your stamina runs out too fast, and many areas don’t have a lot of food so you can’t help it and it seems a bit unfair. i also think the clothes should not run out. i think that you should just be able to upgrade and make new ones with new things to help you out but i don’t think your clothes/backpack should go away after a bit. i really enjoyed the trail bit and i thought the amount of resting points was perfect, and i really like the way that trading works, it’s a lot of fun. i was super excited to get to eden falls, but i found it a bit underwhelming and like there wasn’t much to do when you get there. i know as i increase in levels and money, more things will be available to me, but your choices for what and how to do things in eden falls can be confusing. overall, i think this is a really fun game, and it actually kept me engaged and wanting to keep playing it, but i think the buildup is a bit more fun than the actual final result. i think maybe in the next update some new things should be added to the game and some more instruction for how to do things in eden falls should be included. and a few more open businesses for new eden falls residents.Show lesscastle10563
dear god please fix it
the fact that i'm here, years after downloading this game, begging for ACTUAL fixes, should communicate the potential for this game. it is fun and cute, until you try to craft things. any things.
i opened the app for the first time in months about two minutes ago, after seeing there were some recent "bug fixes". i enter my home, making sure to swipe into the house quickly to avoid the bug that makes you stuck on the porch and unable to go any further back into your home, and try to craft a bag of flour in an attempt to free up space in my bag, which is overflowing from all the wood and bits from the last time i played where it glitched out and undid all the crafting i had spent the previous 20 minutes doing. and whataya know, the first thing i try to craft, that bag of flour, and then glitch: the bag is stuck in the middle of the screen, none of the info about the crafted item pops up, just... stuck.
i should not be getting glitched out of a game within a minute of opening it. that is legit stupid. i don't understand how something so fundamentally flawed is an "editor's choice". to say nothing about how the lack of special events within the last year or so to allow newer players a chance to acquire the special gear and dyes. ALL of this is just wrong. just fix it. you're app developers, this is your job, please do your job.Show lessspadooky
You can’t complete the check list!
I love this game, the story line is amazing! The graphics are amazing it’s so peaceful to play. There’s only one thing missing, you can’t complete the check list! On the list it says, “find your perfect partner” no where in the game can you do this. I think it would be great if you could do this. Sure you can have a dog to follow you on the trail and the other travelers but it still can get lonely and your husband/wife could help you. They could collect things, if you faint they could protect your things and so much more! Another thing, starting a family, this would be great because you could teach them the ropes of survival on the trail. When your kids are grown up you pick one and start over going out to build their own legacy. So these are my ideas I have I think they could really improve the game so hopefully you add this in!
Thanks for your time!!Show lessEver lite site
