I don’t think there’s any ad and you can play with friends and family. It’s fun where you can collect stuff like little creatures. And you could play games where you battle other creatures and then you can save your world. It’s so fun and I think everybody should play this game. ### 4/5 — This game shows a lot of promise *2026-07-05, version 1.5.0* I found this game through Torc’s video and ended up buying two Ascension figures. They won’t arrive for another three days, so I’ve only been able to play the free-to-play side so far, but I’m honestly impressed. The core gameplay is fun, and it has a lot of potential. I think it could really take off once the blind box figures start showing up in stores and the game reaches the point the developers are aiming for. That said, I am currently locked out of progression. After joining the Discord, I found out the Character Request missions are currently bugged, which can completely halt your progress depending on what areas you’ve unlocked. It’s also possible that the game expects you to own more figures to access enough Character Requests, but right now it’s hard to tell because of the bug. The world editor also has a lot of potential, but there are a few quality-of-life improvements I’d love to see. More customization options would go a long way, and a storage system for non-trashable items like rocks and trees would make building much less frustrating. Right now, if they’re in the way, you have to manually move them back and forth instead of storing them until you’re done. A top-down camera mode would also be a huge improvement. The current camera makes it difficult to select and edit tiles that are lower than the surrounding terrain. If a tile is boxed in by higher ones, you often have to lower all of the surrounding tiles just to access the one in the middle, then raise everything back up afterward. A top-down view would make terrain editing much smoother and eliminate a lot of unnecessary extra work. That said, I’m also progression-locked because I can’t upgrade the Geomancer Hut until the quest bug is fixed. Since that means I haven’t unlocked every world editing feature yet, it’s entirely possible that some of the issues I’m experiencing are addressed later through progression. I can’t say for certain until I’m able to continue. One final idea: I know a PC version is planned, and I think it would be really cool if there were an optional USB or Bluetooth “portal” accessory that let you scan your figures into the PC version. It would be a fun throwback to games like Skylanders, and I think a lot of people would buy it for the nostalgia alone. Including an exclusive Aerthling with the portal would make it an even more appealing collector’s item. Even with the current issues, I’m still optimistic. The game has a solid foundation, and if the progression bugs are fixed and the world editor gets a few quality-of-life improvements, I can see myself putting a lot more time into it. ### 4/5 — Would be a 5star but *2026-06-27, version 1.4.4* Need to be able to add controller to play. Game would be better. ### 4/5 — Great game but expensive cubes *2026-06-25, version 1.4.4* I like the game and that I can try out more Aerthlings in the game, but after getting two Aerthlings I haven’t seen a new seed to get one more Aerthling in a long time. I really want the Aerthlings mystery figs, but those things cost 11 dollars and they are just cubes. Besides that it is a great game with my Treep saying that something would be so cool when he wants me to build something. ### 5/5 — This game surprised me!! *2026-06-10, version 1.4.4* Before downloading i was thinking this is another boring game but when I played…wow I fallen in love with this game! but I hope free options in game getting more and more ### 3/5 — Where to buy? *2026-06-07, version 1.4.4* Great idea but where do you buy the figures? Seems odd to release a game that uses figures that are impossible to find. ### 5/5 — Collect and play! 2 of my favorite things! *2026-06-06, version 1.4.4* Can’t wait to see more. The kickstarter for series 2 is live now and ends in a few days!! Would love to see it hit the final stretch goal! ### 5/5 — Very entertaining *2026-06-02, version 1.4.4* I’ve honestly grown old of all phone games but when I seen this, I thought lemme give it a try. Without playing the game, it just seems like a game for little kids. When you start up, it’s actually very well made and detailed. If you’re older and think “oh this is just another child’s game”…….. I’m 29 years old with a daughter and I’m very much enjoying it. So much I’ve even backed their company on kickstarter. When you can purchase these in physical stores, it’ll be like pokemon. I will definitely be playing this game a lot. This will be the next big thing 100%. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — W *2026-05-31, version 1.4.2* This game is PEAK. I love trading and collecting. The game is great. ### 5/5 — Decent *2026-05-30, version 1.4.2* Currently f2p and it’s a nice little sandbox game so far. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-27, version 1.4.2* Only words amazing!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-27, version 1.4.2* This game is so fun and my friends and I can play together. ### 5/5 — Aerthlings *2026-05-23, version 1.4.1* I love watching my uncle play.I can’t because it crashes every time I try to hatch the egg in the beginning of the game.I restarted my iPad 3 times and scrolled out my apps please fix this bug.Thank you ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is a terrible scam *2026-08-30, version 1.6.0* I can’t even play this game ### 1/5 — awful *2026-08-06, version 1.5.2* There are no subtitles in the opening cutscene and the controls are jerky and awkward. Uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-06-16, version 1.4.4* Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Team cares more about selling more figures over fixing their game *2026-06-06, version 1.4.4* I was really pumped about this game. I purchased 6 aerthlings to support the team for putting together a cool idea… the problem is that I scanned in my new figures and started playing the game only to realize that no enemies were spawning into game. This effectively makes the game unplayable because you can’t collect needed resources. I’ve been waiting well over a month and have been trying to communicate with the team in good faith while they tried to stabilize the game. Several updates came and the game was still not working for me and each time the team would say “we’re working on the fix”. Meanwhile the team is continuously rolling out marketing for new kickstarters and figures to make more money while I sat and waited patiently. The team made it abundantly clear that they don’t have any intention of prioritizing the fix and it seems like they are putting profit over their customers and gameplay. 🤷‍♂️ I wanted to like this game but I can’t even play it. ### 1/5 — Terrible Terrible Terrible! *2026-05-29, version 1.4.2* “I can not get it to work I already have told this to the owners, they said to go and email them, I did but they never responded!!! I really want to play but I can’t cause they are not answering! It seems so fun and I feel that I am missing out 😔😢😭 pls help meee!!!” Ok so that is what I sad the second time I reviewed the game now is the third I told you I emailed you and you never responded, and you told me the same thing again to email you and I got really upset because I told you that I already did and you just ignored it and you told me the same thing again, how about I say this more clearly, I already tried emailing you and you never responded, can you tell me what’s going on? And pls don’t tell me to email you cause I will crash out, just pls help it seems so fun 😢 please 🙏 ### 1/5 — Terrible game and company *2026-05-25, version 1.4.2* I planned on backing this campaign on KS despite the miserable experience I had with Beasts of Balance Rebirth. I posited a simple and respectful question asking about their plan in case the campaign didn’t meet their expectations (like BoBR) and they answered. But then they cancelled my pledge and banned me. So they will never get any money out of me in the future. And I’m going out of my way to let others know about this awful company. ### 1/5 — WayLess buggy but Still no multiplayer *2026-05-17, version 1.4.1* Fun easy game with no need purchases but who wouldn’t want to collect the cute little guys? To get the most out of it they must be traded with other players or accounts 1:1 The new look world is very very pretty and in game crafting is fun lots of details in the artwork. However at upper levels quests are annoyingly repetitive and it still cannot handle a big map. Last forced update fixed biome issue but large map now crashes again. Discord is great for targeted help. Kickstarter for new figs is advertising “smooth” gameplay which currently is only true for fewer figs and smaller map. ### 1/5 — Non starter *2026-05-16, version 1.4.1* Download additional asset on 1st launch. Lagging animations. ### 1/5 — It’s a game for action figures? *2026-05-07, version 1.4.1* I tried to play the stupid game and nothing happened. I just scroll around the map. I couldn’t find anything to interact. The only thing I could do was find this thing that said scan a AERTHLING ### 1/5 — Game bugs and $ issue *2026-04-22, version 1.3.4* Game keeps crashing when I do pretty much anything- edit land, plant trees or new items, discover land, etc. Also, it isn’t truly free to play if there isn’t a way to earn permanent new characters (after the second one) to your roster. The only way to buy characters in the shop costs amethysts, which can only be purchased with real money (no in game currency). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wouldn’t work:( *2026-07-10, version 1.5.1* I’m giving it 5 stars cuz its a cool game concept but I don’t have a phone and my iPad doesn't have a scanner function ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-10, version 1.5.1* But could use some more music ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-08, version 1.5.0* This is game is fun & easy to play. ### 5/5 — Game is great *2026-07-07, version 1.5.0* The only thing wrong is when the quests dont pop up or the hearts dont and sometimes the moonlings get stuck under ground other then that i love it ### 5/5 — More than just a game *2026-07-01, version 1.5.0* This is a really fun idea for a game, physical figures, trading, as well as bringing your figure to life in the game. The lineage factor was especially interesting to me. The fact that I can trade with someone else. And keep my figure digitally still but also get to see all the other times that figure gets scanned down the line is such a cool concept. The app is fun even if you don’t have any figs to scan and you can unlock other characters through just playing (although you can’t trade those) ### 5/5 — This game is awesome *2026-06-28, version 1.4.4* It’s kind of like sky landers if it was also a world restoration game. I’m so excited to buy the figures when they start releasing them in stores. ### 5/5 — Absolute must play!! *2026-06-24, version 1.4.4* I haven’t downloaded a mobile game in ages. I saw an add for Aerthlings on YouTube and thought I’d download to see what it’s about… After about an hour I was absolutely addicted. Bought 3 characters to start with… The feeling of opening your figurines is an excitement I haven’t felt since Pokemon originally dropped in the 90s… The packaging is adorable, the excitement of hatching your Aerthlings is like none other. Now, I am “patiently” waiting on a new case of Aerthlings to arrive, to introduce and gift to my family and neighbors around me. As others mentioned, this will ABSOLUTELY be the next big collectible game, and I am excited to be a kickstarter backer! Welcome to Aerth, get in before you get FOMO. ### 5/5 — It’s hip to be square! *2026-06-24, version 1.4.4* I’m a bit on the older side but thought I’d check it out! My grandkids are getting a big box of them! Hope they trade with me!! Smart fun! ### 5/5 — RPG player likes *2026-06-22, version 1.4.4* Best game ### 5/5 — Really Great Game *2026-06-18, version 1.4.4* Really fun, amazing concept and hope that this gets so much more support and attention by everyone. Going to start streaming this on twitch and hopefully order some figs. Might even do their new kickstart for the next gen. Like legit hope this game explodes with popularity. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
